Embrace the spirit of exploration as you attempt to forge a path through the ice-choked Weddell Sea 🛳️❄️

Follow in the footsteps of early explorers like Shackleton, who faced the Weddell's icy grip when his ship, the Endurance, was famously trapped and lost to it.

Encounter vast expanses of sea ice, pack ice and colossal icebergs, formidable even for icebreakers. Our purpose-built ships and skilled Expedition Teams will guide you through this challenging terrain, rich in history.
