Antarctica Activity Expedition
Explore the Antarctica Peninsula: Including all activities!
This Expedition Cruise to Antarctica includes multiple activities free of charge! The perfect way to explore the Antarctic Peninsula in an active way. In addition to shore landings and zodiac cruises, the expedition team will use their expertise to design your voyage from day to day and offer everyone a chance to participate in the activties.
Prepare to be dazzled by an otherworldly scenery. Endless glaciers, giant icebergs and snow-capped mountains dominate the landscape of the Antarctic Peninsula. Your expedition ship will take you along the mesmerizing Antarctic coastline, in search of suitable locations to set foot on land. Zodiacs are used for transferring you ashore and for taking you ocean-level cruising to reach those isolated sites that are inaccessible for larger ships. You will be able to land directly onto the cobble and ice-strewn beaches that you will encounter along the Antarctic Peninsula. The expedition team will guide you on these outings, providing you with detailed information during the excursions.
Even though the environment is cold and harsh, Antarctica will certainly impress you with its abundance of wildlife. Opening your curtains in the morning to see seals swimming by, having a whale leap out of the water right next to your zodiac, or being overwhelmed by the sounds and smells of a bustling penguin colony. The scenes you encounter in Antarctica will create everlasting memories.
Activities in Antarctica
This expedition allows you to try many different activities during your expedition cruise to Antarctica. The expedition ship will likely stay at a specific spot for several days, from there you can explore through a range of activities. The aim is to offer every guest a chance to try each activity at least once. Keep in mind, all excursions and shore landings are depending on weather, site conditions, and environmental regulations. The expedition team will always try their utmost to provide you with the best experience possible. Bring a good portion of flexible attitude and you will have the greatest Antarctic adventure ever!

Sample itinerary
The itinerary of an expedition cruise to Antarctica is never fixed. One moment you might be cruising under clear blue skies, while moments later, plans have to adjusted to avoid bad weather or unexpected ice conditions. Activities may vary during your voyage and we have no control over the wildlife.
DAY 1 | Departure from Ushuaia
Your Expedition Cruise to Antarctica starts from Ushuaia, the southern-most town of Argentina. We advise you to arrive at least one day before departure, just in case your flight might be delayed.
Take some time to explore Ushuaia and it’s surroundings, and maybe head down to the port to spot your expedition ship. Boarding the ship will commence late in the afternoon. And while sailing down the beautiful Beagle Channel, you will have time to get settled in your room, attend the safety briefings and enjoy your first dinner on board. Your expedition to Antarctica has officially begun!
DAY 2-3 | Crossing the Drake Passage
Once the ship exits the Beagle Channel, you find yourself on the open ocean for a 2-day crossing of the Drake Passage. Even though you will be at sea with no land in sight for two days, you don’t have to worry about it being boring. It’s always worth having a look out on deck, whales or dolphins sometimes make an appearance and you will often see albatrosses and storm petrels flying alongside the ship. The guides will commence their lecture program about the Antarctic wildlife, geology, history and geography.
Nearing the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, excitement grows with everyone on the lookout for the first iceberg. The ocean takes on a whole new perspective once you are below the Antarctic Convergence. You are likely to find yourself surrounded by oddly-shaped icebergs and you might see some colossal ‘tabular’ icebergs that have separated from the continent’s ice shelf. Also, the chances of seeing whales increase the closer you get to the Antarctic Peninsula.
Depending on the weather and exact route of your voyage, you might approach Antarctica near the South Shetland Islands, where you might have your first landing. The ship will then likely enter Bransfield Strait either at the eastern end of King George Island or the western extremity of Livingston Island. From here on, the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula is yours to explore!
DAY 4-10 | Exploring the Antarctic Peninsula
Once the ship reaches the calmer waters along the Antarctic Peninsula, we aim to have 1 or 2 outings per day. In between the shore landings and zodiac cruises, you can enjoy lectures about the Antarctic nature, wildlife and history, and enjoy the warm comfort of the ship. Every voyage is different and we can’t guarantee any specific landing sites.
Places you might visit include Livingstone Island, a unique landing place. The ice free patches of the island are literally teeming with wildlife. You might see chinstrap and gentoo penguins and it’s not uncommon to find groups of elephant seals here too.
Your official first step on the continent of Antarctica could be at Paradise Harbour. The serenity of Paradise Harbour envelops us once the ship slowly comes to a halt. The protected bay is surrounded by magnificent peaks and spectacular glaciers. The rocky cliffs provide perfect nesting sites for blueeyed shags, terns and gulls.
Danco Island is a great place for a hike in snow shoes. You can head all the way to the top of the island for the most spectacular view over the surrounding landscape. Keep an eye out for the Gentoo penguins that are known to breed on this island. They have many penguin highways leading all the way up the hill, a wonderful sight to watch their commute between the sea and the rookery.
If the ice conditions are right, you might sail through the Lemaire Channel. A breathtaking narrow channel with high mountains on both sides. Often the water here is so calm it acts like a mirror, reflecting the surroundings in the dark icy water.
Zodiac cruises take you into the fjords and icy bays in search of wildlife, like a safari on water! Antarctica is a haven for whales and we keep our eyes open for humpbacks, orcas and minke whales. You might also spot crabeater seals, elephant seals, or maybe even leopard seals while exploring the water.
Along the Antarctic Peninsula there are plenty more locations where you might have a chance for kayaking or camping. You might go to Curtiss Bay, Cuverville Island, the Errera Channel or Wilhelmina Bay. Every voyage is different and we hope to have as much time as possible to explore these unforgettable places to marvel at nature’s glory up close.
DAY 11-13 | Crossing the Drake Passage & Arrival in Ushuaia
Every great adventure eventually comes to an end. While crossing the Drake Passage, you’re again greeted by the vast array of seabirds guiding you home. An Expedition Cruise to Antarctica will create life lasting memories and new friendships. By the time you have to disembark in Ushuaia you’ll have countless photos and stories to share with friends and relatives.
Activities
On Antarctica Activity Expeditions, all activities and excursions are included in the price and special gear and field equipment will be provided. Some activities must be pre-booked prior to departure and keep in mind, activities are always subject to weather and prevailing ice conditions. Passengers are free to skip activities and instead stay on board or join a zodiac cruise.
Besides regular land excursions and zodiac cruises, your Activity Expedition might include:
- Polar camping – Sleep in the open air in a special sleeping bag, allowing you to see and hear all that is happening around you.
- Kayaking – Paddle through icy waters, along dramatic landscapes, surrounded by the serene silence of the Antarctic.
- Snowshoe walking – In the early season, we use snowshoes for walking on the deep and slushy snow. It is easy and fun, everyone can do it!
- Hiking – Shore hikes are in general not too difficult and offer you a chance to explore the pristine backcountry of Antarctica.
- Photography – The onboard photographer will help you capture the best images with your personal camera equipment during photo workshops.
Please note that the specific activities included in your voyage may vary depending on the ship you choose.

The choice of clothing for travel to the polar regions is a very personal matter. When packing, select informal, practical attire that can be worn in layers. It is better to wear several light layers instead of one heavy layer. This also gives you flexibility in your clothing. Simply take off a layer if you are too warm or put another layer on when you are cold. The most important layer is the outer waterproof and windproof shell because even a light breeze can feel freezing cold when you are out on deck. Ski clothing is perfectly adequate. Choose loose fitting items that leave room for trapped air, which is an excellent insulator. Wool, silk and synthetic fibers like polar fleece retain heat better than cotton. And most importantly, avoid getting your clothes wet!
Embarkation usually starts late in the afternoon of the first day of your expedition. We suggest you arrive at least one day prior to departure. Your trip ends after breakfast on the last day. When booking flights, we recommend leaving enough time for delays. Book your outbound flight no earlier than the late afternoon or evening.
Insurance including medical evacuation & repatriation cover is mandatory for all our
voyages. We also strongly recommend you take out trip cancellation insurance. This will cover your prepaid, non-refundable expenses if you must cancel your trip due to an unforseen reason.
Voyages take place from November – March. The Antarctic Peninsula is the mildest region of the continent. Summer temperatures range from -2°C (28°F) to 8°C (46°F). Keep in mind that these temperatures are averages. Visitors should still be well-prepared for harsh conditions.
We aim for each guest to participate in every activity at least once. Hikes, walks, and photography workshops are typically offered multiple times. However, all activities are subject to weather and ice conditions to ensure safety throughout the expedition.
