Antarctica All-Inclusive
Hurtigruten Expedition’s packages are back!
Antarctica is a land of superlatives: the coldest, driest, highest and most remote continent on Earth. Here, the elements rule and exploring this vast, white continent will seem daring and extreme to many. And that’s exactly why you’ll want to go. Great Antarctic explorers like Roald Amundsen have described the seventh continent as “mythic”, “otherworldly”, and “like a fairy tale” – because nothing compares to the Antarctic travel experience.
Need a reason to cruise to Antarctica? Here are six…
1. Incredible Icescapes
Experience the tranquillity of the vast landscapes; the starkness of monochromatic white everywhere you look; and the way the light plays off shades and hues in the ice, sea and sky. Experience the tranquillity of the vast landscapes.
2. Rich Wildlife
The krill-rich waters of the Southern Ocean are a beacon for abundant wildlife: whales, seals, seabirds and of course, penguins. The Antarctic Peninsula is home to an estimated population of 12 million penguins across several species.
3. Active Exploration
You won’t simply wave at Antarctica from the ship as you sail past it. Instead, you’ll join an experienced Expedition Team to go on landings ashore, on small boat cruises in the area, and on optional activities like kayaking, snowshoeing, camping, and maybe even a polar plunge if you’re feeling brave enough!
4. Knowledge Seeking
The Expedition Team are there to guide and enhance everything you see and experience in Antarctica, sharing their insights on geology, climate change, polar history, and wildlife. They also offer photography tutorials, Citizen Science projects, and access to the ship’s onboard Science Center.
5. Going Beyond the Antarctic Circle
Some of the expeditions will attempt landings south of the Antarctic Circle in Marguerite Bay, Crystal Sound and the Weddell Sea. Much like the great explorers before you, your expedition will be determined by the weather and sea conditions, where plans sometimes change and adventure presents itself in
unexpected ways.
6. Protecting the Pristine
Antarctica is a pure and fragile environment. Hurtigruten works hard to ensure they leave nothing but sterilised boot prints and take nothing but precious memories. Their ice-class expedition ships combine state-of-the-art hybrid technology, helping them have the lowest possible CO2 footprint of all expedition cruises
to Antarctica.
Take the planning out of your next epic adventure by choosing one of Hurtigruten’s all-inclusive packages, including international flights ex Australia or New Zealand.
