Embark on this inspiring Antarctic expedition designed in partnership with New Scientist Discovery Tours, a voyage that blends the thrill of exploration with the wonder of discovery. Sailing from Ushuaia across the storied Drake Passage, you’ll journey into the icy amphitheatre of the Antarctic Peninsula, a region celebrated for its cathedral-like icebergs, sculpted glaciers, and thriving penguin, seal and whale populations.
Traveling during the Antarctic summer, you’ll enjoy long, glowing days—often up to 24 hours of daylight—that reveal wildlife at its most active and landscapes at their most radiant. This season grants exceptional opportunities to watch porpoising penguins, feeding humpbacks and calving glaciers while experiencing crisp air and remarkably clear visibility.
Your days unfold through a dynamic mix of shipboard enrichment and off-ship discovery. Zodiac safaris bring you close to drifting bergs and wildlife-rich coves; shore landings unveil bustling rookeries, historic huts and panoramic ridge walks. Onboard, specialist lectures—including exclusive New Scientist presentations—illuminate polar science, climate, geology, marine biology and exploration history. You’ll also have the rare chance to participate in meaningful citizen-science projects, contributing real data to global research from one of the planet’s most remote frontiers.
Whether you’re joining a photography session on deck, relaxing in the observation lounge as glaciers crack in the distance, or gearing up for an exhilarating polar plunge, this journey promises moments of pure wonder. Expect to feel both humbled and empowered—humbled by the immensity of nature, empowered by reaching one of Earth’s least-visited places.

One of our most popular activities, camping offers you the unique opportunity to roll out your sleeping mat and wriggle into your thermal sleeping bag for a night out on the ice – no camping experience necessary! Once you’ve settled in, prepare to witness the stunning beauty of the Antarctic night sky, as well as the sounds of ice cracking in the distance and wildlife carrying on their busy schedule around you. This is the activity for the ultimate bragging rights!
Nuestros campamentos tienen lugar en pleno verano austral, y en la Península Antártica disfrutaremos de casi 24 horas de luz. Esto significa que, en lugar de una noche estrellada, disfrutarás de un atardecer y un amanecer prolongados, ya que el sol se sumerge brevemente bajo el horizonte, llenando el cielo con una paleta infinita de colores.
While you may not have your best nights sleep- many passengers don’t camp out to sleep! They’re there to soak in the amazing surrounds, witness incredible vistas and enjoy the sounds of nearby penguin colonies and possibly even a calving glacier. We’ll do our best to make sure you get the chance for a cat nap the next day.
We’ve taken hundreds of adventurous souls out overnight and our expert expedition team know where to find the best spots for your camping experience.
Snowshoeing makes walking up gentle slopes and across Antarctica’s soft, powdery snow a breeze, allowing you to explore places others struggle to reach in boots alone. Armed with your very own set of snowshoes and ski poles, you’ll be led by our expert guides, who will provide all the instruction you need. Snowshoeing is an excellent way to ascend to some of Antarctica’s best vantage points, stretch the legs and take in the most spectacular scenery on the planet. Snowshoeing is the perfect activity for everyone, with no previous experience required. Join in on the fun and discover a different slice of Antarctica!
This popular alpine activity is easy to learn – all you need is a willingness to try. All training is provided, and our team of guides will have you trained and ready to go in no more than half an hour. Participants should be confident in their footing and have an average level of fitness – outings may be up to three hours in duration. Those who enjoy hiking trails or taking long walks at home will possess enough fitness to enjoy this activity.
Our highly-qualified guides have many years of climbing, skiing and snowshoeing experience, and all hold relevant mountain instruction and safety certificates. They aim to provide a personalised and unique experience for every expeditioner whilst maintaining safety to the highest standards. We have one snowshoeing guide for every 10 guests.
While we aim to get out as often as possible, the number of outings will be dependent on the weather and our itinerary’s landing points. The average number of outings is usually six or more per voyage, lasting up to three hours per outing.
