Explore one of the world's last wildernesses as hands-on crew of a 19 day sailing expedition to Antarctica.
Antarctica is one of the oldest continents on Earth and holds a particular fascination for many. Perhaps you’ve read of the voyages Shackleton, or perhaps you’re a wildlife lover, or maybe just a pure adventurist. Whatever draws you to the White Continent, these 19-day hands-on sail expeditions will ensure you get to see the most impressive places and sights of this wonderful wilderness in a responsible way respecting the great privilege that a chance to visit offers.
Join this small group sailing adventure headed for the last great wilderness on the planet. You’ll begin in Ushuaia, Argentina – the southernmost city in South America. First up is the Drake Passage followed by the Antarctic Convergence Zone. The wildlife along the way is astounding. Think seals, sea-gulls, petrels, and more.
Each night, your ship will anchor in sheltered bays. During the day, your experienced crew will take small groups ashore in dinghies for close up views of penguin rookeries, glaciers, seals, birds, and various flora. The further south you voyage, the more Minke, Orca, Humpback, and Killer Whales will travel with you.
We love this operator because of their extensive experience in the region. They’ve put together an itinerary of truly the most impressive spots that the White Continent has to offer. No sailing experience is necessary and the professional crew will teach you as much as you’d like to know about navigation, maneuvres, weather observations, furling the sails, and more.
Plus, and perhaps most importantly, this crew prioritise environmentally responsible practices such as wind power for propulsion as much as possible, smaller passenger numbers, adhering strictly to IAATO regulations, and actively educating guest crew about the importance of preserving the Antarctic environment, all while offering a unique sailing experience that allows for a deeper connection to the natural world.

Tour operator
Originally built in 1910, this beautifully restored Dutch tall ship has been crossing oceans and seas on a regular basis since 2000 and has a reputation of a ship that really sails.
Following the favourable winds of traditional sailing routes has brought her to all the continents sailing both the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean, thus earning her nick name ‘ocean wanderer’.
Crew and guests join the ship from all over the world and all ages. As a sail training vessel, everyone on board is assigned to the watch system to help sail the ship - navigating, taking the helm and handling the sails. Sailing experience is not required just a desire to sail to new horizons and experience all aspects of a sailor’s life on board: The wind, the sea, new friends and adventure.
