DISCOVER
ANTARCTICA INTERIOR
AND SOUTH POLE
A GREAT
WILDERNESS
The Antarctic Interior and South Pole challenge our human concept of scale and importance.
The Geographic South Pole: perhaps the most iconic and exclusive prize for any traveler. As the very epicenter of one the greatest stories of Antarctic, the quest to conquer it pitted the lions of exploration against each other during Antarctica’s ‘Heroic Era’.
The triumphs and tragedies of giants such as Amundsen, Scott and Shackleton still fascinate and inspire us to travel to the end of the Earth. History comes alive as we stand at 90° South and understand how the early explorers felt heading out across the frozen continent and into the unknown 100 years ago.

EXPLORE
Antarctica
An Antarctic superyacht expedition is remarkably rewarding, with unique activities for visitors of all ages and fitness levels. Hike or kayak in the majestic vastness, cruise through bergs in the late-evening light, ski from summit to sea on first-ever descents, and visit prominent historic sites from legendary expeditions.
Svalbard
Within this compact archipelago, angular glacier-carved peaks give way to muted buttes and then to a barren expanse of sea ice. Every shoreline bay presents possibilities to see seals, reindeer, arctic fox, nesting seabirds, or the phantom of the ice, the polar bear.
