Voyage into Antarctica for the wildlife holiday of a lifetime. Experience an Antarctic voyage which will feel like your own private expedition cruise into a pristine landscape. Our small ship voyages through the Antarctic offer you so much more than your average cruise holiday.

On a voyage with Discover the World, you will enjoy the spectacular scenery of Antarctica with small groups of like-minded people. Our small ships can cruise to places larger vessels can’t, giving you more flexibility and greater access to this unique part of the world. Onboard, friendly and knowledgeable guides will enhance your experience of Antarctica as you continue on your voyage of discovery.

Cruise past towering icebergs, ice shelves and snow ridges and marvel at the unique Antarctic wildlife from the comfort of one of our icebreaker or ice strengthened ships. Go whale and bird watching as part of your astonishing Antarctic expedition cruise, see seals hauled out on ice floes, marvel at penguins and more unique wildlife as you travel through the Antarctic’s stunning scenery.

Our voyages through Antarctica offer an exciting alternative to a standard cruise holiday, for the discerning traveller who dreams of being amongst the few people in the world to set foot on Antarctica! Follow in the footsteps of some of the world’s greatest explorers and voyage into the beautiful and vast white continent of Antarctica, where you will see some of the world’s most spectacular scenery.

During the Antarctic’s fleeting summer, this inhospitable land becomes host to some of the greatest wildlife spectacles on earth. Marvel as you cruise past amazing Antarctic wildlife including millions of pairs of penguins, albatrosses, petrels and other sea birds that breed in the region on an Antarctic wildlife voyage to remember. Opportunities abound for some great photography!

For the ultimate addition to your Antarctic cruise expedition choose from our range of adventure options to complement your Antarctic voyage, including camping, kayaking, cross country skiing and scuba diving. Cruise past glittering icebergs, paddle through brash ice, camp out in the frozen wilderness of Antarctica, go cross country skiing explorer style, or for the experienced diver take the plunge for some of the most spectacular scuba diving in the world.

Our expedition voyages explore the Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula, the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, the Ross Sea region and you can even choose a 30 day semi-navigation of Antarctica or celebrate Christmas and New Year in style on our 38 day semi-navigation cruise for an extended small ship cruise experience, a voyage guaranteed to inspire and delight you. Several of these Antarctic voyages also give you excellent opportunities to observe the majestic Emperor Penguin in it’s home environment.

Our polar voyages and expedition cruises in the Antarctic are run by two very experienced specialist companies, based aboard the small ships: Akademik Shokalskiy, Aleksey Maryshev, Grigoriy Mikheev, Kapitan Khlebnikov, MV Orlova, Professor Molchanov, Professor Multanovskiy, Sarpik Ittuk and the Spirit of Enderby. Each vessel has been converted to a modern and comfortable research/passenger ship, ideal for your Antarctic cruise experience, from which you can witness some of the most stunning scenery that the Antarctic has to offer.
