The semi-circumnavigation of the Antarctic is something very special for those in search of an unforgettable expedition.

The HANSEATIC spirit braves this endeavour on an incredible route from South America to New Zealand. The captain and crew flexibly adjust the itinerary to the constantly changing conditions.

Towering basalt cliffs, rugged volcanic rock and snow-covered mountains herald an impressive destination: the Antarctic Peninsula. Icebergs, glaciers and majestic mountains – populated by penguins, seals and a huge variety of seabirds.

The small, manoeuvrable expedition ship promises unique days. Numerous Zodiac rides and landings heighten the sense of discovery.

Stories of pioneers are brought to life on islands, in bays and in seas with names harking back to great explorers. Whether in the footsteps of James Clark Ross, Robert Falcon Scott or Sir Ernest Shackleton – your clients will follow their pioneering spirit on this expedition.
