PONANT ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION CRUISE ex NEW ZEALAND

Description:

Join the SCOTT SHACKLETON ANTARCTIC CRUISE 2027 — an extraordinary expedition created in collaboration with a prestigious organisation dedicated to scientific research, education, and global exploration. Throughout your journey, a distinguished member of The Explorers Club will share captivating lectures and personal stories that bring the spirit of adventure to life.

Departing from Dunedin, New Zealand, set sail toward the seldom-visited Ross Sea, following in the footsteps of legendary polar explorers. First, explore Enderby Island in New Zealand’s Subantarctic Islands, where you’ll marvel at spectacular flora and unique wildlife.

Then, as you cross the Southern Ocean, enjoy engaging onboard presentations from your expert expedition team, preparing you for the wonders ahead. Upon reaching the Ross Sea — the southernmost sea on Earth — discover pristine, untouched landscapes alongside experienced guides.

Moreover, you’ll witness the world’s largest Adelie penguin colonies, glide past towering icebergs and massive glaciers during thrilling zodiac excursions, and spot Weddell seals resting or hunting on ice floes. Weather permitting, step inside historic sites such as Sir Ernest Shackleton’s famous hut at Cape Royds and reflect on the bravery of early polar pioneers.

On your return journey to New Zealand, visit Australia’s remote Macquarie Island to see its vibrant king penguin colony. Additionally, stop at the Snares Islands, a remarkable wildlife sanctuary brimming with rare species.

Finally, conclude your unforgettable adventure in Dunedin, carrying with you memories of a journey that few are privileged to experience.

The SCOTT SHACKLETON ANTARCTIC CRUISE 2027 promises an inspiring and truly once-in-a-lifetime expedition.

Note: We are privileged guests in these remote lands where we are at the mercy of weather, ice, tidal and current conditions. Landings on certain sites and the observation of certain wildlife cannot be guaranteed. They vary from day to day, making each PONANT cruise a unique experience. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while complying with the safety rules and instructions imposed by the IAATO. Any disembarkation on the Subantarctic Islands is subject to weather conditions and on obtaining the authorisation of the local authorities. To preserve the wild environment of these islands, the number of visitors is in fact strictly controlled. Wherever possible, we will run Zodiac excursions around their shorelines in order to guarantee the best possible experience for all guests if it is not possible to disembark.
