We offer adventure activities to suit every type of traveler, regardless of experience—some included, some at extra cost. Visit the relevant itinerary page on our website to see what’s included in your voyage. Adventure options vary from ship to ship.
Polar Plunge As madcap as it looks, willingly jumping into the bone-chilling Antarctic waters has become a polar rite of passage—and the photo ops are priceless. Dare yourself to take the plunge.
Camping It may sound unbelievable, but camping overnight on the 7th Continent is absolutely wonderful—snug in your warm, water- resistant and breathable bivy under the dim glow of a polar sky with an intimate group of campers.
Sea Kayaking Kayaking along the rugged coastlines and through the calm bays with an experienced guide is one of the most inspiring ways to explore pristine Antarctica. Guests in the sea kayaking program typically paddle multiple times during their expedition.
Paddling Excursion A guided, one-time, one-hour paddle lets you enjoy the tranquil polar surroundings from an intimate perspective. Just imagine yourself gliding along on a stable, sit-on-top kayak, totally at one with the water.
Zodiac Cruising These reinforced rubber skiffs whisk you safely from ship to shoreline and back, taking you into shallow waters the ship can’t reach. Touring by Zodiac on the look-out for wildlife is an intimate and relaxing way to explore.
Flightseeing Enjoying a bird’s-eye view of the Antarctic—icebergs, glaciers, snow-capped peaks, ocean expanses—from the seat of a helicopter provides a unique perspective of the polar wilderness.
Stand-Up Paddleboarding Part surfing, part paddling, this water sport is an intimate way to experience Antarctica from the unique vantage point of the water.
Guided Photography Program Designed for photographers of all levels, this add-on gives you priority boarding on the first Zodiac each day, guided by the same professional photographer throughout. With a maximum of 16 guests, you’ll receive expert advice, tips, and feedback both on excursions and in onboard workshops.
Walking/Hiking Hiking in Antarctica is free-form and supervised by our staff, who set out a perimeter at each landing site within which you are free to explore. Some walking poles are available upon request; bring your own if you require them on every landing.
Exclusive Heli-Landing A small group of guests (with guides) will be flown by one of Ultramarine’ s helicopters to a polar site where you’ll have time to relax and enjoy the polar surroundings, after which guests will be picked up in the same spot and to the ship.
