Antarctica Cruise & Expedition

The Frozen Continent

Beyond the horizon lies Antarctica—a vast realm of glaciers, ice fields, and soaring white peaks, where penguins roam undisturbed and whales carve through subzero waters. Along the way, encounter the wildlife-rich shores of the Falklands and South Georgia, each as unforgettable as the Seventh Continent itself.

Setting foot on Antarctica is a dream for many, but reality for few. For an expedition this bold, you need true pioneers. Since 1896, HX has led explorers to the world’s most awe-inspiring places. Today, more travellers trust us to take them to Antarctica than any other expedition company. Experience genuine adventure, crossing the Drake Passage with expert guides, enriching your knowledge and understanding, and changing the way you see the world.

Welcome to the only continent with no permanent human residents. Thanks to its untouched landscapes and pristine waters, a huge array of wildlife thrives here in harmony, from penguins and seals to the majestic Blue Whale.

“Otherworldly,” “beautiful desolation” and “the only place on Earth that is still as it should be.” These are just some of the ways that travellers have described the intense beauty of Antarctica. Guided by your Expedition Team, observe and photograph iconic animals, enjoy natural history talks from our wildlife experts and enhance your knowledge in our onboard Science Centre, where you can contribute to vital research programmes.

Life Returns | Springtime Expedition to Antarctica

Late spring expedition gives you five days in Antarctica during its late spring as the glaciers and icebergs are at their most sparkly and pristine. Visit the beautiful, windswept Falkland Islands and the ‘Serengeti of the Southern Ocean’ South Georgia at the height of mating season. Over three weeks exploring some of the most remote and beautiful places on Earth, with abundant wildlife. Setting off from Buenos Aires, we head to the windswept green hills and the white-sand beaches of the Falkland Islands. And while the wildlife here is plentiful, South Georgia is in a class of its own, and the beaches heave with seals, penguins and other seabirds. At this time of year, the snow is fresh from winter, and in the sea towering icebergs glisten in their newly sculpted grandeur, while on land the penguins are courting and nest-building. In Antarctica, we’ll explore several landing sites where you can truly experience the frozen continent up close. Your voyage ends in Chile’s Patagonia region.

Antarctica cruise – In-depth Antarctica, Falkland Islands & South Georgia Expedition

Start among the rolling green hills of the remote Falklands where penguin colonies and soaring albatross thrive. Sail to South Georgia, ‘Serengeti of the Southern Ocean’, for vast King Penguin colonies, fur seals, and echoes of historic polar exploration. You’ll then venture to Antarctica’s frozen frontier and explore a realm of white mountains, glaciers, whales and penguins.

We’ll sail from Chile to explore the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, both Important Bird Areas teeming with wildlife. Falklands offers windswept beauty, while South Georgia features alpine landscapes, penguin colonies, fur seals, and abandoned whaling stations.  Your Expedition Team will assess and adapt to the local weather conditions and ensure you have a truly unforgettable adventure. Next up is incomparable Antarctica, the Seventh Continent. Every day that we explore the Antarctic Peninsula, our route and landings are guided by nature. In October and November, penguins start courting and nesting. In December and January, penguin chicks are adorable sights in the longer, milder days. Come February and March, more whales visit the polar waters and penguin chicks start to molt their down feathers.

Antarctic Circle Expedition

Join us as we attempt to navigate through the sea ice and below the Antarctic Circle to reveal The Seventh’s Continent’s secret realm. Milder summer weather means we’ll aim to journey below the Antarctic Circle to the secluded and magnificent Marguerite Bay.  Enjoy whale spotting, seeing young penguins, hiking, kayaking, ice-cruising, and even camping on the Antarctic snow. Join your Expedition Team for ice-cruising activities, shore landings and fascinating lectures. You’ll get close to colossal glaciers and icebergs. We’ll observe Antarctic wildlife in their habitat – colonies of penguins, seals, whales and seabirds, maybe even kayaking or hiking past them. During the Antarctic summer, new routes through the sea ice below the Antarctic Circle become possible. Aboard your hybrid-powered ice-class expedition ship, we’ll set course for Marguerite Bay and islands along the way, looking out for Adélie Penguins and visiting remote historical stations.
