A visit to the White Continent is much more than a holiday. Remote and unspoilt, any journey amid its pristine expanse of white and blue qualifies as something of a ground-breaking exploration.
It's an adventure the like of which you'll find nowhere else on earth.
In addition to the regular Antarctic Peninsula places visited over many years, our compass now includes more stops around the sub-Antarctic Islands including South Georgia and the South Shetlands.
Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful destinations on the planet, Antarctica is also surprisingly affordable.

Buenos Aires round trip, Cruise only
European styles and avenues grander than those in Paris fill the city forever linked with Eva Perón. Three nights let you explore this cosmopolitan hub, a far cry from the reclusive Falkland Islands or the tranquillity of Antarctica. We’ll call on one of the peninsula’s scientific stations, where teams monitor wildlife and the effects of climate change. And follow where pioneer adventurers were destined to become heroes.

Celebrate a Christmas like no other riding a Zodiac inflatable across the glassy waters of Paradise Bay.

Rounding the Horn, our festive cruise wraps up amid the peaks and plains of Patagonia.

Santiago to Buenos Aires - New Year's Cruise
Chilean islands dot Discovery’s route, giant jigsaw pieces of green giving way to white – creaking glaciers and towering ice cliffs. Reaching for Antarctica, crescent bays lead to disused whaling stations, giant corridors of ice to secret WWII hideouts. All around, the sheer variety of wildlife will fill your senses. Led by our guides, history, science and nature come together in unique, dramatic style.

The contrasts of Hope Bay and Deception Island herald the beauty of Antarctica and echo with age-old tales of dogged whalers. Tucked between the village feel of Buenos Aires’ La Boca district and Santiago’s brazen skyscrapers are the towering granite peaks of Torres del Paine National Park, waters once tamed by giant clippers, and the Alpine chalets and charms of Chile’s Lake District.

Linking two ends of a South American loop, a string of lakeland vistas dovetails with shorelines crowded with Patagonian penguins.

Along with landings ashore, you’ll sail majestic “iceberg alley”, on the lookout for graceful Minke whale flukes.
