What we love about the Magellan Discoverer
- The (single flight) air-cruise saves two days crossing the tempestuous Drake Passage by boat.
- The cutting-edge hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system and active stabilisers for a smoother, quieter journey.
- The boutique, yacht-like aesthetic onboard.
- The observation lounge with superb views of the ship’s changing surroundings.
- The ship’s sustainability credentials, with a waste heat recovery system that recycles the heat produced by the ship’s engines, repurposing it to power the heating system and to warm the water used on board.
Everything is set up for you to relax, observe, and learn about the world’s southernmost continent as you voyage through its icy waters.
Participate in daily shore landings, Zodiac excursions, and outdoor explorations led by an expert expedition team.
Activities include sea kayaking and snow-shoeing, hiking and wildlife-watching, including spotting elephant seals, humpback whales, Adélie, chinstrap, gentoo, and King Penguins.
Take an ice cold polar plunge, followed by a sauna, and have a workout in the onboard gym. In the evening, relax in the bar, and there is a daily programme of workshops and talks.
When to travel
The extreme Antarctic weather means that the season is short – from November to March.
