Crossing the Legendary Antarctic Circle

Enjoy a festive experience unlike any other as you cruise the pristine landscapes of Antarctica. Towering glaciers, vast penguin rookeries and dramatic ice formations make for a Christmas and New Year’s Eve to remember.
Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime 16-day Antarctica Expedition Voyage where you’ll witness the beauty of the planet’s most remote and untouched destination. Cross the iconic Drake Passage in comfort on board your next-generation Discovery Yacht, Scenic Ikon. The state-of-the-art stabilising technology is designed to reduce motion of the ocean and provide a smoother sailing experience. Look out for seabirds as they soar and whales breach, before arriving in the icy expanse of Antarctica. Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Antarctic Peninsula with a clear goal – to reach the latitude of 66°33’ South. By crossing the Antarctic Circle, you become part of an exclusive group who have not only set foot in Antarctica but have journeyed into one of the planet’s most remote and rarely explored regions. While on shore, you’ll encounter vast penguin colonies, glide through glacial waters on a zodiac, or kayak past towering ice cliffs in the company of expert polar guides. Led by an on-board expert Discovery Team of naturalists, glaciologists and marine biologists, explore the Great White Continent in depth with enriching lectures and guided excursions. Take the ultimate experience with the exhilarating Polar Plunge, witness breathtaking landscapes beyond the coastline from above in one of the two on board helicopters^ or dive below in the submersible^. At the end of each day retreat to the comfort of your ultra-luxury yacht, where world-class dining, personalised butler service and indulgent spa treatments# set the benchmark in expedition cruising.
