Atlas takes you closer to your environment as you embark on one of the custom-made Zodiacs made for World Navigator and World Traveller. Cruising Antarctic coasts, your knowledgeable experts guide you through the continent’s many wonders. As your Zodiac driver navigates the waters, stop and listen to the natural sounds that surround you. At first, you might think it’s all silence, but if you focus, the cries of snow petrels echo in the distance. You may encounter marine wildlife while out on the water, so focus on the soft but distinct rush of water and watch for the bubbles just before a breach. This is an essential excursion that truly gives you a pure feeling of triumphant exploration.

There’s a feeling of connection that swells as you land on the shores of the Seventh Continent. Make your way across the snow, walking paths few explorers who came before you have and feel a sense of kinship with them. Your expedition guide may lead you to dedicated high points and sightseeing locations for some of the best views. Our polar expedition guides know the terrain almost as well as the wildlife and will enhance your experience as they point out the flora (yes, plants in Antarctica!) and fauna. You may come across some of Antarctica’s renowned wildlife, like a penguin colony filled with the whimsical birds as they go about their natural lives. Your guide will instruct you on how to properly interact at a safe distance so that you have the opportunity to make the most of your expedition and capture the moment while leaving only footprints behind.

A photographer on board will capture the moment and you’ll even be rewarded with a certificate of achievement, so you can brag about your adventure to your friends and family back home. And feel free to be a spectator as you cheer on your fellow explorers while they take the dive.

through Antarctica’s waters and perhaps come close to seals and whales as they swim nearby. Your kayak master helps you spot wildlife as you navigate the

You’ll feel a thrill run through you as you dip your paddle into the water, breaking the slush ice sitting atop the surface. Your excursion guide helps you spot marine wildlife as it passes nearby your paddle board, giving you the chance for that awe-inspiring moment you came all this way to capture. You can even pause and sit or lay down on your paddle board to gaze up at the impossibly blue sky overhead, looking for petrels, or other seabirds in the area. For added safety, a Zodiac driver follows close behind to help you on your journey.

Alongside a kayak master, experienced kayakers have the opportunity to set off through Antarctica’s unspoiled waters. Our kayak masters help you navigate the ice floes as you make your way through the water channels that bring you close to nature. With their guidance, you can safely cruise through the waters, perhaps even coming close to penguins as they dive from the ice floes into the sea. Sea kayaking offers a unique point of view of The White Continent as each paddle stroke takes you further from the ship and deeper into the heart of Antarctica. As you rush through the waters with your kayak, the astonishing blues and whites of the icebergs take your breath away. But take a few minutes to be still as well, because that’s when incredible moments can take place, like the possibility of a whale breaching the water’s surface mere feet away from your kayak.

You could spend a night camping in Antarctica for a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you will never forget. This is one of the few encounters that truly brings you as close to the continent and its raw beauty as possible.
