A journey to the White Continent requires unparalleled expertise and precise planning. This itinerary from HX delivers exactly that, offering a refined and deeply rewarding expedition to the bottom of the world. Over 11 nights, you’ll sail from Ushuaia, navigate the infamous Drake Passage, and explore the remote ice fields of the Antarctic Peninsula.
  • Aboard MS Fridtjof Nansen, you have exclusive access to the state-of-the-art Science Centre, where expert marine biologists and glaciologists share deep insights into the polar environment. After a day navigating the ice, you can relax in the panoramic sauna or indulge in gourmet dishes crafted by top chefs, ensuring your time on board is thoroughly engaging.

  • Your unforgettable journey includes the remarkable transition from South America to the seventh continent, crossing the legendary Drake Passage. This two-day transit offers a unique opportunity to spot wandering albatrosses and giant petrels riding the ocean thermals from the observation deck. The highly experienced captains navigate these waters with exceptional skill, providing a smooth introduction to the polar region.

  • Your first sight of land often brings you to the rugged South Shetland Islands. Weather permitting, you’ll step ashore at Deception Island, a fascinating active volcano featuring a flooded caldera. Here, you can observe thriving colonies of chinstrap penguins marching across the dark volcanic beaches, granting you an intimate wildlife encounter reserved for a privileged few.

  • As the ship pushes further south, the waterways fill with massive, deeply blue icebergs. Guided Zodiac boat excursions take you right up to the ice edge, where you might spot leopard seals or humpback whales feeding in the nutrient-rich waters. Landings at locations like Neko Harbour allow you to set foot directly on the continental mainland, guided by experts who create a remarkable immersion into the polar landscape.
