Activities That Will Get You Fully Engaged With Antarctica and the Arctic
Every experience we offer on board and off, as well as pre- and post-voyage, has been designed with a single purpose in mind – to ensure that you have the most immersive adventure in these unforgettable corners of the world. Whether your explorer’s spirit calls you to kayaking, snowshoeing, camping, or cultural immersion, there’s an adventure activity that can bring you up close and personal with everything the polar regions have to offer. There are excursions over land and in the sky, a Citizen Science program where you can assist in meaningful environmental research, and for those ready to take the plunge, we offer two options: our always-popular polar plunge, and for the truly adventurous, our unforgettable polar wedding experience.
Whatever adventure you choose, our professional photography coaches are on board and eager to help you capture it all in epic fashion.

An Uninhabited Continent Opens Its Doors for One Incredible Night
What’s camping in Antarctica like? Long after most passengers are tucked away in their cabins, chances are you’ll still be lying awake, cozy in your sleeping bag, captivated by the ethereal sounds of gently lapping waves, creaking glaciers and perhaps the blow of a whale passing in the night.
The air seems even more pure than in the daytime, the scale of your ....
Citizen Science on Every Voyage

Wearing the right gear ensures that you stay warm and dry while exploring off the vessel. Onboard the ship, the dress code is always casual and informal – although feel free to dress up for the Captain’s Cocktail Parties!
