Experience Antarctica More Intimately with the "Ultimate Antarctic Expedition".
Polar Routes is a British firm that specialises in providing people with once-in-a-lifetime experiences by way of polar expedition cruises. The "Ultimate Antarctic Expedition" that Polar Routes has chartered specifically for you is an adventure of a lifetime. The recently refurbished MV Polar Pioneer is a little expedition ship that is capable of exploring parts of Antarctica that are inaccessible to larger vessels. It is about half the size of the ship that is already on the market and is most comparable to it in terms of carrying capacity, as it can only accommodate 53 passengers.
Polar Routes' "Ultimate Antarctic Expedition Cruise" will set sail on January 21, 2025, and return on February 12, 2025, spending 23 incredible days exploring the best of Antarctica, from the remote Antarctic Peninsula to South Georgia and the Falkland Islands. Elephant Island, the most remote of the South Shetland Islands, is a great place to see whales, penguins, elephant seals, and albatrosses and to retrace the steps of the courageous explorer Ernest Shackleton.
In the event that the weather cooperates, the dynamic broadcaster, environmental historian, and renowned author Dr. Huw Lewis-Jones will conduct two substantial off-ship excursions on each full expedition day. His expertise in the polar regions is comprehensive.

Dr. Huw Lewis-Jones said, “Every trip to Antarctica is an unbelievable privilege. The Ultimate Antarctic Expedition Cruise on the small, hardy expedition ship MV Polar Pioneer means we will have unrivalled access to one of the most intriguing wilderness areas in the world and will encounter wildlife, ice shelves, glaciers, ice movements, and remote islands few will ever have the privilege to see. Whether it is to get up close with penguins, marvel at sublime landscapes, or learn more fascinating polar history, this is a journey like no other. The joy of this particular trip is the small ship size, and being out in the ice and wilderness is what makes my heart sing. Unforgettable experiences await you.”
On January 21, 2025, the Great Antarctic Adventure will begin. Costs start at £14,999 per person for a shared cabin on a 21-night cruise with all meals included, a hotel stay the night before departure, flights within Argentina from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia, a complete schedule of landings, and a lecture series. Flights outside of the country, insurance, and tips are not included.
