TRAVEL PROGRAM: TOUR TO ANTARCTICADay 1–11. January 10–20, 2027. SEA PASSAGE – 2000 MILES: FROM NEW ZEALAND TO MOUNT EREBUS (ANTARCTICA)Leaving New Zealand behind, the expedition sets out across the vast expanses of the South Pacific Ocean, where the true Antarctic adventure begins. Over the following days at sea, you will travel through some of the most isolated waters on Earth, following in the footsteps of historic explorers such as James Cook and Roald Amundsen.
This remote route offers unprecedented opportunities to witness the sharp transition from a temperate to a polar climate, as seabirds — albatrosses and petrels — become more abundant than land-based species. These days at sea become a time of anticipation and learning, as discussions cover Antarctic geology, wildlife, and the fascinating history of polar exploration — all of which make this voyage so extraordinary.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner Accommodation included: in a yacht cabinDay 12–21. January 21–30, 2027. MOUNT EREBUS (ANTARCTICA)Mount Erebus, rising 3,794 meters (12,448 feet), is not just a climb — it is a true battle with the elements, where fire and ice collide. This is no ordinary volcano; it is the second-highest peak in Antarctica and the only active volcano on the continent with a persistent lava lake — one of only four such lakes in the world. Imagine scrambling across glaciers as the ground trembles beneath your feet, steam hisses from ice towers, and the glow of molten lava reflects off the snow.
Discovered in 1841 and named after the Royal Navy ship Erebus, this mountain is a paradox — its icy slopes conceal a raging volcanic heart. The ascent requires technical ice navigation, glacier travel, and extreme cold-weather endurance. And when we finally reach the summit crater, we are greeted by the surreal sight of a churning lava lake — a reminder that this mountain is truly alive.
For mountaineers, Erebus represents an unparalleled challenge: a rare fusion of a polar expedition, high-altitude climbing, and the thrill of volcanic hazards.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner Accommodation included: in a yacht cabinDay 22–30. January 31 – February 8, 2027. SEA PASSAGE – 1500 MILES: FROM MOUNT EREBUS (ANTARCTICA) TO MOUNT SIPLE (ANTARCTICA)As our vessel enters the legendary Ross Sea, we cross the threshold of Antarctica's most spectacular wilderness. This vast, ice-covered sea serves as the continent's natural gateway, where towering glaciers meet the Southern Ocean in a breathtaking collision of blue and white. Named after Sir James Clark Ross, who first charted these waters in 1841, the Ross Sea remains one of the last truly pristine marine ecosystems on Earth. Here the air becomes crisper, the light takes on an ethereal quality, and the silence is broken only by the crack of calving icebergs or the calls of Adélie penguins.
Massive tabular icebergs — some larger than cities — drift slowly through these waters, while 50‑meter ice cliffs of the Ross Ice Shelf rise above the southern horizon. This is where heroic explorers like Shackleton and Scott launched their historic journeys, and where today's visitors first experience the staggering majesty of Antarctica. Scientists consider these waters critical for climate change research, as the Ross Sea's blooming phytoplankton produces more oxygen than the Amazon rainforest.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner Accommodation included: in a yacht cabinDay 31–40. February 9–18, 2027. MOUNT SIPLE (ANTARCTICA)Mount Siple is one of the last unconquered peaks on the planet. To this day, it remains unclimbed — offering a unique opportunity to write your name forever into the history of geographical discovery.
Why is this so important? Because we are faced with a rare example of a major summit that still stands outside the annals of mountaineering. In an era when most of the world's high peaks already boast dozens of routes and repeats, this mountain has not a single recorded human ascent. This makes it not just a geographical feature, but a potential point of genuine first ascent in the 21st century.
The height of Mount Siple is approximately 3,110 meters (10,203 feet) above sea level. By type, it is a large shield volcano, with a base diameter of tens of kilometers. The summit is completely covered by an ice dome, and the crater is hidden beneath snow and ice. The volcano itself is considered potentially dormant.
The climatic conditions of the region are extreme. In summer, temperatures here range from −15°C to −30°C (5°F to −22°F); in winter they drop significantly lower. Catabatic winds with speeds of 25–40 meters per second (56–89 mph) are frequent. There is a high probability of storms and long periods of zero visibility. Depending on the season, either polar night or polar day prevails.

SEA PASSAGE – 800 MILES: MOUNT SIPLE (ANTARCTICA) – PETER I ISLAND (ANTARCTICA)Sailing across the Bellingshausen Sea transports us into a fairytale Antarctic landscape. This remote maritime realm, named after the Russian explorer who first sighted the Antarctic mainland in 1820, serves as a dynamic ice factory, where glaciers from the Antarctic Peninsula calve massive icebergs that begin their slow drift northward. In summer, the nutrient‑rich sea teems with life, attracting enormous swarms of krill, which in turn support vast populations of whales, seals, and seabirds.
Humpback whales often breach between floating ice platforms, crabeater seals rest on passing ice floes, and gentoo penguins dart through the frigid waters. Climatologists closely monitor this region as a bellwether of polar change, where warming waters meet the frozen edge of the continent. The ever‑shifting mosaic of sea ice and icebergs in the Bellingshausen Sea creates a true photographer's paradise: sunlight refracting through ice crystals paints the landscape in surreal shades of blue and white.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner Accommodation included: in a yacht cabinDay 46–47. February 24–25, 2027. PETER I ISLAND (ANTARCTICA)This remote Norwegian territory, rising from the Southern Ocean, remains one of the least visited places on Earth. The ice‑covered volcano, 1,640 meters (5,381 feet) high, towers above cliffs lashed by relentless seas, accessible only during rare periods of calm. Fewer than 200 people have ever set foot on its black volcanic shores, where steaming fumaroles pierce glacial fields and leopard seals patrol waters choked with icebergs. The island's absolute isolation preserves an untouched ecosystem: snow petrels nest on its cliffs, while orcas hunt in the surrounding depths.
Why is landing on Peter I Island so important?
First and foremost — historical continuity. This is the very point discovered by a Russian expedition back in 1821. Landing on the island becomes a symbolic continuation of that story, begun by our pioneers nearly two centuries ago.
Moreover, the island remains one of the least visited territories in Antarctica, and few travellers can boast of having set foot on this land. From a geographical perspective, we are facing a unique subject for any documentary project: an isolated volcanic island lost in the open Southern Ocean.
But the main thing is the symbol of return. A modern Russian expedition returns to a point first charted almost 200 years ago. Peter I Island is not just a set of coordinates. It is a living link between the Age of Great Maritime Discoveries and modern polar expeditions.

SEA PASSAGE – 900 MILES: PETER I ISLAND (ANTARCTICA) – SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS (ANTARCTICA)Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner Accommodation included: in a yacht cabinDay 53–54. March 3–4, 2027. SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS (ANTARCTICA)Each summer, this rugged archipelago teems with life — vast colonies of penguins, roaring elephant seals, and patrolling leopard seals. Sheltered bays attract humpback whales to feed, while historic research stations are scattered across the windswept landscape. Thanks to its accessible location and incredible biodiversity, these islands serve as the perfect introduction to the wild wonders of Antarctica — where glaciers meet volcanic shores inhabited by Antarctic penguins.

SEA PASSAGE – 600 MILES: SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS (ANTARCTICA) – USHUAIA (ARGENTINA)Prepare for the most iconic sea crossing in the world. The Drake Passage churns with untamed fury, where towering waves and relentless winds test even the most seasoned adventurers. This legendary stretch — known as the "Gateway to Antarctica" — separates continents with incredible force.
Yet beneath the thrill lies unparalleled beauty: albatross soaring over endless swells, whales surfacing in the mist.
Ushuaia, Argentina — officially the southernmost city on Earth — will be your final expedition stop, but it will inspire you once again to explore. This rugged port town, surrounded by the jagged Martial Mountains and the icy waters of the Beagle Channel, exudes a frontier energy.
Once a penal colony, now a launchpad for polar expeditions, Ushuaia wears its history in colorful wooden boardwalks and seafaring lore. Here you can dock alongside expedition vessels, savor king crab stew in waterfront taverns, and breathe the crisp Patagonian air.
