Explore Antarctica
Landings
A series of switchbacks in the snow lead you to the ridge at Orne Harbor to admire the magnificent landscape. The fjord-like Errera Channel is visible on one side. And a glacier slide down the hill tempts you to feel like a kid again.
Tender cruises
Jump into the tenders to explore rocky coasts and deep ice-strewn waters. Your guide might share their favourite hidden cove, or with care, draw the Zodiac near Antarctica’s apex predator dozing on an ice floe.
Paddling
Kayaking or heading out on a SUP in the Antarctic ice is next level. While Antarctica’s silence is stunningly vast, the sibilance of the ice - the sound of ancient gasses escaping from the melting bits - is a new music to experience. If you’re lucky, penguins porpoising home after feeding at sea will pass by as you paddle.
Polar plunge
Brave the freezing Antarctic temperatures with a quick plunge for an Antarctic rite of passage. An invigorating dip in the world’s coldest seas will leave you refreshed, grateful for your yacht’s sauna, and with a glow that feels triumphant.
Skiing and mountaineering
Take off from the yacht, land on virgin summits and speed down untouched slopes for the most exhilarating off-piste skiing in the world. Antarctica’s black granitic mountains rise straight from the sea to some 9,000 ft. Many have never been climbed so you and your guide can be the first.
Heli-sightseeing
Soar over Deception Island, the home of an extinct caldera, or Paradise Bay, where floating icebergs are a playground for whales, perhaps spotting remote colonies of penguins from above. Cruise over the azure lakes and crevasses dotting the icecap’s surface; and feel dwarfed by immense tabular icebergs.
Exploring in a submersible
Visiting the deep in a submersible is dry, comfortable, and astonishing, as it reveals the surprising colour and diversity of the virtually unknown polar undersea. Revel too in the sophisticated tech that makes undersea exploring simple and assured.
Polar diving
If you have the necessary credentials, you can suit up for a polar dive with the yacht’s Polar Dive Master. Discover the world beneath your yacht, and under the ice.
Port Lockroy
The 'Penguin Post Office' is staffed for four months of the year to study the penguins. The perfect anchorage point for anyone sailing Antarctica, there is a museum and a shop, and you can send an appropriately postmarked postcard from here too.
Goudier Island
Vernadsky Station
This Ukrainian scientific research station was originally owned by the Brits and it’s where scientists discovered the hole in the ozone layer. Research goes on here all year round. Guests on an Antarctic yacht charter can tour the station and enjoy a drink in the southern-most bar in the world.
Galindez Island 
Lemaire Channel
Nicknamed ‘Kodak Gap’ by some, it is one of the top tourist destinations on an Antarctic yacht expedition. Steep cliffs hem in the iceberg-filled passage, which is 11km long and just 1,600m wide at its narrowest. There is excellent sea life here and stunning views. You need an ice-breaker some of the time to manage this.
Booth Island
Whaler’s Bay
A remarkably bleak area, the landscape is almost lunar. Totally different from anything seen on the rest of your private yacht charter in Antarctica. It is an active volcano so you can walk up and around to explore.
Deception Island
Cuverville Island
Another must see during your luxury yacht charter in Antarctica, anchor here to see Gentoo penguins up close. You’ll find yourself spending hours just staring at them.
