Guests want to explore and have these once-in-a-lifetime experiences in parts of the world that only a superyacht can take you
For adventure further afield, a helipad located on the bow allows charter guests to explore the mountains in greater depth, taking them on heli-skiing adventures and catching a glimpse of some more unique wildlife along the way. Two tenders are also available to transport guests onshore for onshore excursions such as hikes and penguin spotting.
After a day of exploring this majestic wonderland, you’ll be pleased to know that the superyacht is home to an expansive spa and wellness zone where you can enjoy a steam room, Turkish bath and a luxurious beauty room where you can indulge in the latest beauty and hair treatments.

With an abundance of untouched landscapes extending as far as the eye can see, Antarctica is the stuff of dreams for outdoor enthusiasts and those traveling by expedition yacht will have all the equipment needed to undertake a variety of adventurous activities, with an expert crew on hand too.
On land, beginners can learn how to snowshoe, while experienced hikers can put on their crampons for exhilarating ice treks over snow-covered slopes and across the vast glaciers that are scattered across this region. In particular, the Lemaire Channel is a haven for rock climbers, and there are also options for ice climbing and abseiling there too.
Yacht charter guests can also enjoy relaxed kayaking tours and thrilling Zodiac expeditions which will take them even closer to picturesque glaciers, wildlife and icy coves. Thrill seekers will enjoy scuba diving here as they discover the unique marine life and topography that is hidden beneath the water’s glassy surface.
A cruising itinerary in the Great White Continent allows you to disconnect from the stresses of everyday life and follow in the footsteps of great explorers.
Your yachting adventure is likely to begin in King George Island and encompass the likes of Deception Island, one of the only places in the world where yachts can cruise into the crater of a live volcano as well as the gorge-like Lemaire Channel, a place so photogenic it’s earned the nickname ‘Kodak Gap’.
Never is the phrase ‘off the beaten track’ more fitting than when it’s used to describe Antarctica
Other interesting stop-offs include Paulet Island, unmissable due to its impressive 353-meter-high volcanic cone and Paradise Harbour, so-called because of the beautiful glaciated mountains and ice cliffs that surround it.

Antarctica yacht charter guests who want to cruise this far south can only do so in the austral summer, between November and March. At the start of the season, the ice begins to break, allowing a clearer passage for super yachts. This time of year is also when temperatures start to climb, although they are not likely to exceed 0°C.
During these months, snow-covered stretches and distinctive peaks interspersed with rocky terrain and flourishes of wildflowers can be expected and, in December, 24-hour sunlight is guaranteed. This natural phenomenon is perfect for wildlife viewing, which can vary as the season continues.
