Explore the coldest, driest and highest continent on the planet with Hurtigruten
Antarctica is a region like no other on earth. It is so hostile and remote that it has no permanent inhabitants, but every year, Hurtigruten offer guests the chance to explore this frozen and windswept continent on a range of exciting expedition sailings.
Huritguruten’s Antarctica sailings run between October and March and offer visits to some of the most intriguing spots in South America and Antarctica. In 2017, you can even spend Christmas on the White Continent aboard MS Fram.
About Antarctica
Antarctica is Earth’s southernmost continent and the fifth largest continent in the world. Approx. 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice that extends to all but the northernmost reaches of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Mineral mining, nuclear explosions and nuclear waster disposal are all prohibited in the region. Ongoing experiments are conducted by more than 4,000 scientists, these are the only temporary residents you will find in Antarctica.
Arguably the biggest thrill for visitors to the Southern Pole is the amazing variety of wildlife. Make the most of your expedition by learning about what the environment around you is home to, from a lecture given by an Antarctica expert onboard. With this new knowledge, a whale-spotting adventure is a necessity and you’ll soon be able to recognise an Emperor Penguin from a King Penguin.
Visit Antarctica With Hurtigruten
Hurtigruten offer a range of Antarctica voyages that are ideal for the expedition traveller and like most other cruise lines, Hurtigruten Antarctica voyages begin in South America. As mentioned above, the sailings generally run from October through March and there is a wide variety of options for ship, duration and destinations: you can spend 14-days exploring the ‘Frozen Land of the Penguins’ or 23-days enjoying the ‘Ultimate Expedition to Antarctica, Falklands and South Georgia’.
