ANTARCTICA CRUISES

Antarctica lay undetected for most of recorded time, beyond the margins of the known world. Travel to Antarctica on a Seabourn luxury cruise ship, in a stye undreamed of by the ardent, early pioneers of the icy continent. Explore the snowy, sentinel mountain ranges, teeming penguin colonies and stately parades of monumental icebergs; the sight of an albatross effortlessly gliding across the ink-blue sea, and the unexpected rainbow appearing late into the nights of everlasting light. Let Seabourn take you on the experience of a lifetime to the world’s final frontier.

Seabourne Antarctica Experience

Each cruise to Antarctica includes the following exclusive amenities and activities designed to enhance every moment:

  • Inclusive zodiac tours and landings*
  • Digital photography workshops
  • Complimentary Seabourn expedition-grade parka and day pack
  • Opportunities for frequent wildlife sightings on ship and on shore
  • Onboard Expedition team providing narration and insight to all aspects of the experience
  • Inspiring Enrichment Program and special guest speakers on board

*Final itineraries are subject to weather, ice and other conditions and subject to change.

Featured Experiences

Forget rigid itineraries and follow a true call of the wild, one where Mother Nature dictates your next stop — be it a calving glacier, a pod of killer whales, or a lively penguin colony. Such flexibility turns each Seabourn expedition to Antarctica into a singular experience, so you can fully appreciate every wonder-filled moment.

Here is a sampling of some of the incredible landings we have been able to make over the past season:

Lemaire Channel

Picture yourself front and center in this iconic photographic destination of Antarctica. Transformed by wind and sea, ice formations of surprising shapes and sizes fill the channel, leaving fortunate visitors in awe of this pristine environment.

Deception Island

Contemplate the ash-covered ice of Deception Island, its alien landscape a gradient of black, grey, and red as it urges you to look closer. Penguins gather at the edge of the beach, taking their turn plunging into the crashing surf, and underwater calderas glow up at guests through the waves.

Weddell Sea

Scenic cruising of the less-visited waterway affords guests astounding history lessons and raw beauty unlike any other region of the world.  The Weddell Sea is a place of true exploration and ice navigation, where you can see more isolated groups of elusive (and eponymous) Weddell seals and ice-hardy Adélie penguins.
