The optional activities: Explore the water by kayak, sign up for a photography masterclass, rejuvenate with some onboard yoga and a massage, or take a refreshing polar plunge like a true polar explorer.

The experienced leaders on board have made hundreds of polar voyages between them. They’re experts in marine biology, glaciology and Antarctic history, and they’ll share their knowledge throughout the journey during a comprehensive lecture program.

About the Boat

With a gym, library, wide range of cabin types, modern Zodiacs, and superb views, the Ocean Endeavour is quite literally the coolest way to take the trip of a lifetime.
