This expedition offers a rare opportunity to follow in the footsteps of legendary polar explorers, landing on the Antarctic continent itself. Step ashore at places like Brown Bluff or Orne Harbour, hiking alongside penguin highways. Surrounded by thousands of penguins and the stark, silent beauty of the polar desert, you will gain a true appreciation for the power and fragility of this extreme environment.

The journey through the Drake Passage is a significant event. It’s at this legendary crossing that you’ll often spot seabirds soaring alongside the ship, including the majestic wandering albatross. On board, the expedition team, including National Geographic photographers and seasoned naturalists, prepares you for what lies ahead with a series of engaging presentations.
-
The wildlife encounters in Antarctica are simply unparalleled. You’ll navigate through fields of icebergs in Zodiacs, getting respectfully close to massive humpback whales as they feed in the krill-rich waters. You’ll also visit vast penguin rookeries, kayaking in protected waters as these majestic creatures swim close by. Seals, from the crabeater to the formidable leopard seal, can often be seen hauled out on ice floes, too.

Your home for this voyage is the National Geographic Resolution. This is not your typical cruise ship; it is a purpose-built polar vessel designed for exploration in comfort and safety. The cabins are thoughtfully designed, with most featuring balconies for private viewing of the passing icebergs. Facilities onboard include a spa, a yoga studio, and two saunas with magnificent views, providing exceptional ways to relax after a day of exploration.
