Queenstown and Mawson’s Antarctica: Along the East Coast
In the footsteps of explorers (and penguins)
Experience a different side of Antarctic in its most extreme and spectacular form, where everything is on a grand scale. Witness sprawling penguin colonies, majestic whales and basking seals. Marvel at colossal icebergs and towering glaciers while re-living stories of fearless explorers who first navigated this untamed continent.
For centuries, avid travellers and explorers have been fascinated by Antarctica, a place where penguins congregate in the hundreds of thousands and people are few and far between. The isolated East Coast of Antarctica has a rich history of exploration thanks to the pioneering efforts of explorer Sir Douglas Mawson. You’ll have the rare opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Mawson and his team. Elevate your experience with a helicopter excursion over pristine landscapes or dive below in the custom-designed submersible Scenic Neptune^ where very few have explored. This Expedition Voyage is filled with discovery, history, and wildlife, taking you to a rarely visited side of Antarctica.
