Whether you want to see the steep-sided mountains of the Antarctic Peninsula, the enormous king penguin colonies of South Georgia or venture as south as the Antarctic Circle, we’ve got an expedition for you. Check out this map of which expeditions go where.

With Aurora Expeditions, we offer both sail and fly options so you can get the most from our itineraries – whether you want to maximise your time on the white continent with our fly options or take on the fuller, more traditional experience of sailing the Drake.

This top ten Antarctic activities guide walks you through what’s on offer and the experience level required. But don’t worry, there’s something for everyone and with the highest ratio of expedition team leaders to guests you’ll be in good hands and will develop new skills at any level. 

Discover Svalbard in depth for a deeper and more genuine exploration of this magical region, or explore Scotland’s magnificent coastline steeped in the region’s history and legends.
