On the Ocean Endeavour, our guides are truly the captains of the guests' experience down in Antarctica. We have several onboard experts, including a marine biologist, a geologist, glaciologist, even a penguin-ologist! They share their passions during the presentations and educational program that we have on board the ship.
Celebrate the magic of the holiday season with an expedition cruise to the White Continent of Antarctica. The Antarctic Peninsula has stunning panoramic vistas and abundant wildlife encounters. With an experienced expedition team and state-of-the-art vessel that is designed for polar cruising you will be able to make the most of your time exploring this remote part of the world. Enjoy twice daily land excursions and/or zodiac cruising with the aim to spend as much time off the ship as possible. Onboard your well appointed ship you will find excellent facilities including a hot tub, sauna and gym and you'll be able to enjoy fine dining during meal services. When you are not off the ship you will be able to enjoy a range of educational lectures on a range of topics, engage in Citizen Science programs onboard and head up to the bridge to watch the captain and crew at work.
You will spend a night pre cruise, at the 'end of the world' in Ushuaia at the 5* Arakur Hotel. Situated in the exclusive Cerro Alarkén Nature Reserve, this is much more than just a five-star hotel. Spend some time relaxing or exploring nature before you embark on your Antarctic Cruise.
After a friendly welcome at the airport and a transfer to the luxurious Arakur Resort & Spa, take some time to unwind or explore the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia.
Our evening briefing at the Arakur is your opportunity to ask questions and meet some of your fellow explorers.
Spend your morning relaxing at the hotel, visiting a museum, or exploring the shops in Ushuaia, before our mid-afternoon escort to the ship. Our Expedition Team and ship staff will welcome you on board and get you settled in, followed by a safety and orientation briefing and our Captain’s welcome dinner. We’re on our way to Antarctica!
Join our Polar Experts as they share their vast knowledge of Antarctica, from its enchanting wildlife to its bold history. Participate in our pioneering Citizen Science program, or sit back and take in this fabled journey while catching glimpses of rarely-seen wildlife. Keep your binoculars handy to identify the many seabirds that escort our ship as we cross the Antarctic Convergence into Antarctica’s waters and noticeably cooler temperatures, your cue to get ready for that first iceberg sighting, an unforgettable moment on every journey.
We maneuver through the mysterious channels and wildlife-rich waters of the Antarctic Sound and Weddell Sea, the perfect place to ensure an unforgettable holiday adventure. The Antarctic Sound is well known for its huge tabular icebergs and the Weddell Sea offers a unique geography unlike anywhere else on earth. Here we’ll take in the abundant wildlife such as Adélie penguins and seals as we keep on the lookout for hunting Orca.
Time to put our explorer’s spirit to full use. Antarctica offers astounding images and wildlife encounters at every turn, as the last truly unspoiled place on earth, populated only by its original wild inhabitants. Prepare yourself to encounter numerous species of penguins, seals, and whales, who will be there to share the holidays with us along the rugged coastlines and in the sea. We’ll also take full advantage of every opportunity to visit some of the several active scientific bases and historic landing sites on the peninsula. This voyage promises to be a holiday memory you’ll cherish forever. Our team always has something fun planned for Christmas Day.
Over time, the volcanic activity of the South Shetland Islands has created a geology unlike any other. Here, you can expect a spectacular display of mountains, glaciers, and wildlife including Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins; and it’s not uncommon to share the water’s edge with Elephant and Fur seals. Whales are often spotted as well. So, we’ll settle into our Zodiacs and spend most of our day exploring. And kayakers, it’s time to get your first taste of gliding just inches off the pristine Antarctic water. Whether on land or sea, in zodiac or kayak, be prepared for a fully immersive introduction to this incomparable part of the world.
We leave this magical place and make our way north, once again crossing the legendary Drake Passage. We have one last hurrah as we celebrate the conclusion of our expedition with a special slideshow and a final meal together.
With huge smiles on weary, content faces, we disembark in the morning, letting you catch a flight to Buenos Aires or stay in Ushuaia for more sights and adventure.
Enjoy an Antarctica cruise on board the Seaventure, a state of the art polar expedition vessel features the highest degree of comfort to provide an incredible cruising experience. The ship takes just 134 guests to allow for a more intimate experience.
You will be able to explore Antarctica during the magic of the holidays, a truly spectacular adventure. For those who are from warmer climates, you will enjoy a truly 'White Christmas'.
Spend a night in the 'end of the world', Ushuaia. Your stay here is in a luxury 5* hotel that is located in a nature reserve.
See many penguin colonies of several species and observe their fascinating and comical behaviours.
Witness the pristine natural beauty of the 7th continent and explore by zodiac and on shore excursions with your expert expedition team. See whales, leopard seals, and amazing icebergs.
With the highest ice class rating and modern German-Japanese design, the MS Seaventure offers a smooth and comfortable experience across the Drake. Taking only 138 guests, this ship offers a friendly and welcoming Antarctic experience, paired with a high crew-to-guest ratio, gourmet dining, and a huge wraparound deck, ideal for photography and citizen science. Speed and comfort Optimised entirely for Antarctic voyages, the heavy steel of the MS Seaventure cuts through the Drake Passage with ease. State-of-the-art marine retractable stabilisers reduce movement significantly inside the ship, rendering the voyage across the Drake not only more efficient but smoother than most other expedition ships. Education and science focused Citizen science is world-class on the MS Seaventure with six separate projects throughout the journey. Each guest on board can be involved and gain a deep understanding of the location whilst sending data back to significant scientific organisations to help with their critical research on Antarctica. Each journey also offers onboard scientific and educational lectures. Friendly and inclusive travel environment This is not an 'us and them' cruise; your expedition crew will dine with guests during meal times, sharing their personal insights into Antarctica and getting to know the people they are travelling with. Breaking down walls and building a more family feel as you travel to the most enigmatic place on earth - together. 7:1 traveller to expedition staff ratio Thanks to a 7:1 traveller to expedition staff ratio, coordinating excursions is the number one priority and unless weather conditions prevent it, guests will spend up to six hours a day off the ship and immersed in Antarctica. Spacious outdoor viewing A full wraparound deck, close to the water, is a must have in Antarctica and a photographer's dream. The MS Seaventure's deck is on the lower decks, offering brilliant viewing of wildlife and Antarctica as it happens in 360 degrees. That way, you won't be stuck in only one space and when the captain announces ‘orcas’, you can be outside in a flash! Luxury amenities and inviting cabins The rooms are designed to cater for all tastes and include many balcony rooms on the higher levels, away from ocean spray that can be encountered on the Drake Passage, offering higher comfort and security for deluxe travellers. You’ll also enjoy exceptional cuisine and lots of common areas for lectures and socialising. Enhance your immersive experience with an optional activity in Antarctica whilst travelling on the MS Seaventure. Kayaking & Camping are at an extra cost but, due to their popularity, are limited in space and can book out quickly. WHY WE LOVE THE MS SEAVENTURE
