1 Why discover Antarctica with Hurtigruten?
Fantastic adventure Hurtigruten provides its guests unparalleled experiences in Antarctica’s polar waters, safely taking you on exciting small-boat (RIB) adventures and amazing landings to explore the most remote continent on Earth.
Close to nature We offer the opportunity to get close to beautiful icebergs, visit isolated scientific stations, and encounter amazing wildlife, such as penguins, seals, and whales.
Unmatched wilderness No travel adventure can match an expedition cruise to Antarctica: the windiest, driest, and most pristine continent on the planet.
Our voyages into this protected wilderness are truly unique and offer extraordinary travel experiences. We promise Antarctica is different from any other destination you’ll ever visit.
Choose your expedition cruise Hurtigruten offers a wide variety of itineraries, expedition ships, and activities from which to chose.
Experience a Total Solar Eclipse In 2021, a rare Total Solar Eclipse will grace our expeditions to Antarctica, and there is no better place to see the event than from aboard our ships in the South Orkney Islands, guided by an astronomer.
