Activities That Will Get You Fully Engaged With Antarctica and the Arctic

Every experience we offer on board and off, as well as pre- and post-voyage, has been designed with a single purpose in mind – to ensure that you have the most immersive adventure in these unforgettable corners of the world. Whether your explorer’s spirit calls you to kayaking, snowshoeing, camping, or cultural immersion, there’s an adventure activity that can bring you up close and personal with everything the polar regions have to offer. There are excursions over land and in the sky, a Citizen Science program where you can assist in meaningful environmental research, and for those ready to take the plunge, we offer two options: our always-popular polar plunge, and for the truly adventurous, our unforgettable polar wedding experience.

Whatever adventure you choose, our professional photography coaches are on board and eager to help you capture it all in epic fashion.
