Only bookable onboard
Sleep under the Antarctic sky with nothing separating you from the elements.
Experience Antarctica up close in a unique way few get to experience.
Truly connect with nature while staying warm and comfortable in Antarctic standard camping gear.
Just us and nature at its purest
After a pre-camp briefing and dinner onboard, we’ll head ashore to set up camp. Depending on the landing site, we may take walks to nearby viewpoints. Engage in conversations with the Expedition Team or simply slide into your cosy bivvy bag and enjoy the stillness.
The next morning, after packing up, we’ll enjoy a special breakfast back on board the ship as we reflect on the unique experience we’ve just shared.
Please note that while we aim to offer this activity on every voyage, its operation is subject to snow, ice and weather conditions, which may result in changes or cancellations.
