Ultra-luxury expedition to Antarctica

Travel to the ends of the earth and witness nature at its most dramatic in absolute comfort. In late 2025, a new generation of expedition-ships is arriving in Antarctica, purpose-built luxury icebreakers designed for high-net-worth guests who demand both rugged access and refined indulgence. These voyages combine pristine white landscapes, whale super-pods, emperor penguin rookeries and hidden fjords with the kind of service, gourmet dining and bespoke activities usually reserved for five-star resorts.

On board, suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows, heated marble floors, direct balcony access to suspended observation decks and 24 hour butler service. Helicopters and zodiac landings enable guests to touch historic huts, camp overnight in glass-domed bubbles under the Southern Lights, snorkel among ice floes and dine on gourmet cuisine prepared by Michelin-trained chefs, caviar from the Ross Sea, ice-aged wagyu, native Antarctic krill risotto.

In your journey’s timeframe you might begin from Ushuaia, Argentina, cross the furious Drake Passage, navigate the Lemaire Channel and visit remote islands like Deception and Elephant, all under the guidance of polar scientists. In-port “on-ice” experiences allow you to kite-ski, drive luged snowmobiles or join overnight tent trips with warming waxed-linen sleeping bags and heated floors. On board wellness centres offer cryotherapy in minus-50 °C pods and ice-melting cocktail receptions at the ship’s igloo bar.

WYTA elevates this unparalleled journey by managing private charter of the vessel for groups, arranging exclusive route modifications such as a private landing on Snow Hill Island to observe emperor penguins, personalised pre-expedition training with polar guides, and post-cruise stays at luxury lodges in Patagonia with private glacier walks and horse-drawn sleighs.

For those who have conquered resorts, jets and islands, this is the next frontier. Contact us to secure your capsule on a voyage where luxury meets the pristine last frontier.
