Discovering Antarctica\n5 reasons\n\n### 5 reasons to discover Antarctica\nAntarctica is one of those dream destinations, those remote lands at the end of the world that are difficult to access and offer a change of scenery at every moment. Here are five reasons to go on a cruise to Antarctica.\n\n### Experience a unique adventure\nFar from heavily populated areas, Antarctica remains one of the few preserved areas on the planet. Tourism is regulated there; thus, ships departing for the White Continent do not carry more than 200 guests at a time. This provides an opportunity for everyone to enjoy an extraordinary experience and create unforgettable memories.\n\n![A Ponant Explorations cruise ship in Antarctica](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2F764ef5cb-8e93-4675-ba13-08de63c6f46b%2FL1100678-PONANT-ANTARCTICA-PONANT-Ragnar-Axelsson%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.4%252C0.7%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75)\n\n### Observe exceptional wildlife\nA true sanctuary for wildlife, Antarctica is home to a wide variety of marine mammals and birds that come ashore to breed. In the water, Weddell seals, Minke whales, humpback whales, leopard seals and fur seals offer an enchanting ballet to travellers. On land or in the air, king, royal, Adélie and chinstrap penguins, gentoo penguins, albatrosses and petrels frolic and soar to complete the spectacle.\n\n![Whale tail emerging in front of a Ponant cruise ship in Antarctica](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2F1a6e7add-78e1-468c-825e-f5a1d2ed681f%2FVersion-Finale_Retouche_Ponant-Antartique%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75)\n\n### Evolve in incredible settings\nThe blue-tinged icebergs, the sparkling ice cathedrals, the pristine ice floes, the imposing mountain ranges, and the millennia-old glaciers provide a backdrop for enchanting scenes. Here, everything is shades of white, blue, and gray sometimes leaning towards violet. Sunsets give a reddish hue to the ice. The vastness of the setting and the majesty of the elements are imposing and give rise to moments of pure emotion.\n\n![View of Port Charcot, Booth Island, Antarctica](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2F28e8efdb-4e01-40f5-8abb-b2c3e0c3d2cf%2Fn-345_B181217_Port-CharcotOeAStudioPONANT-L-Paul%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75)\n\n### Follow in the footsteps of the great explorers\nIf Antarctica remains as enigmatic today as it was over a century ago, think about what it represented back then! As early as 1773, the British explorer James Cook ventured there; a handful of intrepid individuals followed in his footsteps. From Commander Charcot to Sir Ernest Shackleton, and including Roald Amundsen – who first reached the South Pole – or more recently, Paul-Émile Victor, people have always tried to uncover the mysteries of the ice floes.\n\n![The cruise ship Le Lyrial from Ponant Explorations in Antarctica](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2Fe822e497-924a-4466-80ca-baafe7672550%2FNo-1765Claire2%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75)\n\n## Visit historical sites and scientific facilities\nEven today, the White Continent has not revealed all its secrets. Scientific bases are established there to conduct research, particularly on the climate. The former whaling stations – genuine open-air museums – bear witness to the ravages of seal and whale hunting that raged in the early 20th century. Situated at Port Lockroy is the southernmost post office in the world, from where one can send a postcard stamped with the Antarctic postmark to loved ones! So many reasons to embark on this unique continent and live an exceptional experience.\n\n![The Port Lockroy post office on the Antarctic Peninsula](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2F0e663763-53a4-4d0d-bd46-1f3ce82f9555%2F_LEF5665%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75)\n\nLoading\n\nClose\n\n## The Must-Sees of Antarctica\nInspiration\n\n### The must-sees of Antarctica\nDream destination for every explorer at heart, the White Continent lives up to its promises and reveals all its splendour to travellers. Here are five highlights to experience during a cruise in Antarctica.\n\n### Blend in with the penguins in South Georgia\nFormerly a major whaling station, South Georgia is now a preferred haven for many seabirds. Among them, the king penguin holds a special place. If you are lucky enough to land at Salisbury Plain, you will experience a powerful moment amid a colony of no less than 250,000 individuals. They move around peacefully, without worrying about the rare humans who come to visit them. A privileged and moving moment.\n\n![Colony of king penguins at Fortuna Bay, South Georgia](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2Fb095bb4a-e3e3-4be4-be81-da58c78960d1%2FManchots-Royaux-Fortuna-Bay-Georgie-du-sud%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75)\n\n### Cross the Antarctic Circle\nWhen the navigation instruments display the symbolic numbers 66°33', the signal is given: you are in the heart of Antarctica, beyond the 66th parallel. Crossed for the first time by the British explorer James Cook in 1773, the Antarctic Circle is an integral part of the imagination and history of Antarctica. Experience the unique sensation of reaching this goal and sailing in the footsteps of the great explorers, which embraces all enthusiasts and provides immense joy.\n\n![The cruise ship Le Lyrial in the Lemaire Channel, Antarctica](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2Ffbad4937-3cd5-402e-aef3-855f71e67fea%2FLyrial-Canal-Lemaire-StudioPonant-Laurence-Fischer-3%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75)\n\n### Encounter majestic marine wildlife\nFrom the Falkland Islands to the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctic cruises offer unforgettable encounters with marine mammals. It is not uncommon to come across fur seals, orcas, seals and elephant seals. And when humpback whales join the scene, the enchantment is complete.\n\n![Humpback whale jumping out of the ocean in Antarctica](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2F125a46f3-227c-4f8c-8470-ea799e23cd1f%2FHumpbackWhale_Antarctique%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75)\n\n### Witness the magnificent icebergs\nWhether they are described as tabular, squat or pointed, all icebergs tend to leave travellers speechless. These sea giants are truly awe-inspiring! As majestic as they are unsettling, their tall silhouettes rise above the waves and dive very deep below the surface in colours of a thousand shades of blue, sparkling under the icy sun of Antarctica.\n\n![Brash ice and icebergs near Savissivik, Greenland](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2Fbde44342-8e27-4345-802f-7d9ba6d9ec55%2F041_B100817_Savissivik-StudioPONANT-O-Blaud%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75)\n\n### Experience a unique natural sanctuary\nLittle known and remarkably well preserved, the subantarctic islands of New Zealand are among the few places on Earth still virtually untouched by human presence. Some of these scattered islands are inaccessible and therefore completely protected. The Snares Islands, Bounty Islands, Antipodes Islands, Auckland Islands and Campbell Islands form an invaluable haven for the endemic species that inhabit them, including 126 species of birds.\n\n![Snow-covered mountains on the Antarctic Peninsula](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2Fb0b12316-996d-4b83-982b-8ffa5a25be3b%2Fnath-michel-antarctic-iceberg-hd-ho%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75)\n\nLoading\n\nClose\n\nBack to top\n\nContacts\n\nWe are here to listen to your requests and respond to them by email or phone.\n\n[(+1) 888 400 1082](tel:+18884001082)\n\nContact us\n\nRequest a quote\n\n[Find us](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/our-pavilions)\n\nMore information\n\nSign up for the newsletter, request your brochure, or check the FAQ.\n\nSubscribe to the newsletter\n\n[Order Brochures](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/brochures)\n\n[Frequently asked questions](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/faq)\n\nSocial networks\n\nFollow us on social media.\n\nYour dedicated spaces\n\nAre you a professional or would you like to join our teams?\n\n[Travel Advisor Center](https:\/\/pro-us.ponant.com\/customer\/account\/login\/#modal_login-customerb2b)\n\n[Groups and charters](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/groups-charters)\n\n[Careers](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/careers)\n\n[Press & Media](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/press)\n\nWho are we?\n\n- [PONANT EXPLORATIONS GROUP](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/ponant-explorations-group)\n- [Experiences](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/experiences)\n- [The ships](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/cruise-ships)\n- [Themed voyages](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/themes)\n- [The Foundation](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/foundation)\n- [PONANT Science](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/ponant-science)\n- [Swap2Zero](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/ponant-unveils-its-iconic-newbuild-ship)\n\nInspirations\n\n- [Escales magazine](https:\/\/escales.ponant.com\/us\/)\n- [Inspire](https:\/\/inspirebyponant.ponant.com\/fr\/)\n- [All destinations](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/discover-our-destinations)\n- [All cruises](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/cruises)\n- [Guest book](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/ponant-cruise-reviews)\n- [Ports of call](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/cruises\/going-through)\n\nYour next trip\n\n- [Explorations](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/explorations)\n- [Custom options](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/experiences\/customized-addons)\n- [The PONANT app](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/application-ponant)\n- [Insurance policy](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/insurance)\n- [Formalities](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/formalities)\n- [Terms of sales](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/terms-conditions)\n\nThe art of sea travel\n\nPONANT EXPLORATIONS, a leader in luxury cruises, invites you to experience unique experiences combining elegance, exploration, and comfort on board its intimate yachts.\n\nOur guest reviews\n\nEN\/\\$USDSelect language\n\n[Legal informations](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/legal-information)\n\nCookies preference center\n\n[Cookies policy](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/cookies-policy-ponant)[Data protection](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/policy)[Ethics and compliance](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/ethics-and-compliance)[Payment terms](https:\/\/us.ponant.com\/secure-payment)\n\n© PONANT 2026\n\nSecure and protected payment.","attrs_readable_markdown":"Antarctica\n\nA mythical land that has long captivated the greatest explorers, the White Continent continues to stir curiosity today.

[Asia](https://us.ponant.com/destinations/asia) ## Discovering Antarctica 5 reasons ### 5 reasons to discover Antarctica Antarctica is one of those dream destinations, those remote lands at the end of the world that are difficult to access and offer a change of scenery at every moment. Here are five reasons to go on a cruise to Antarctica. ### Experience a unique adventure Far from heavily populated areas, Antarctica remains one of the few preserved areas on the planet. Tourism is regulated there; thus, ships departing for the White Continent do not carry more than 200 guests at a time. This provides an opportunity for everyone to enjoy an extraordinary experience and create unforgettable memories. ![A Ponant Explorations cruise ship in Antarctica](https://us.ponant.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2F764ef5cb-8e93-4675-ba13-08de63c6f46b%2FL1100678-PONANT-ANTARCTICA-PONANT-Ragnar-Axelsson%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.4%252C0.7%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75) ### Observe exceptional wildlife A true sanctuary for wildlife, Antarctica is home to a wide variety of marine mammals and birds that come ashore to breed. In the water, Weddell seals, Minke whales, humpback whales, leopard seals and fur seals offer an enchanting ballet to travellers. On land or in the air, king, royal, Adélie and chinstrap penguins, gentoo penguins, albatrosses and petrels frolic and soar to complete the spectacle. ![Whale tail emerging in front of a Ponant cruise ship in Antarctica](https://us.ponant.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2F1a6e7add-78e1-468c-825e-f5a1d2ed681f%2FVersion-Finale_Retouche_Ponant-Antartique%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75) ### Evolve in incredible settings The blue-tinged icebergs, the sparkling ice cathedrals, the pristine ice floes, the imposing mountain ranges, and the millennia-old glaciers provide a backdrop for enchanting scenes. Here, everything is shades of white, blue, and gray sometimes leaning towards violet. Sunsets give a reddish hue to the ice. The vastness of the setting and the majesty of the elements are imposing and give rise to moments of pure emotion. ![View of Port Charcot, Booth Island, Antarctica](https://us.ponant.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2F28e8efdb-4e01-40f5-8abb-b2c3e0c3d2cf%2Fn-345_B181217_Port-CharcotOeAStudioPONANT-L-Paul%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75) ### Follow in the footsteps of the great explorers If Antarctica remains as enigmatic today as it was over a century ago, think about what it represented back then! As early as 1773, the British explorer James Cook ventured there; a handful of intrepid individuals followed in his footsteps. From Commander Charcot to Sir Ernest Shackleton, and including Roald Amundsen – who first reached the South Pole – or more recently, Paul-Émile Victor, people have always tried to uncover the mysteries of the ice floes. ![The cruise ship Le Lyrial from Ponant Explorations in Antarctica](https://us.ponant.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2Fe822e497-924a-4466-80ca-baafe7672550%2FNo-1765Claire2%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75) ## Visit historical sites and scientific facilities Even today, the White Continent has not revealed all its secrets. Scientific bases are established there to conduct research, particularly on the climate. The former whaling stations – genuine open-air museums – bear witness to the ravages of seal and whale hunting that raged in the early 20th century. Situated at Port Lockroy is the southernmost post office in the world, from where one can send a postcard stamped with the Antarctic postmark to loved ones! So many reasons to embark on this unique continent and live an exceptional experience. ![The Port Lockroy post office on the Antarctic Peninsula](https://us.ponant.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2F0e663763-53a4-4d0d-bd46-1f3ce82f9555%2F_LEF5665%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75) Loading Close ## The Must-Sees of Antarctica Inspiration ### The must-sees of Antarctica Dream destination for every explorer at heart, the White Continent lives up to its promises and reveals all its splendour to travellers. Here are five highlights to experience during a cruise in Antarctica. ### Blend in with the penguins in South Georgia Formerly a major whaling station, South Georgia is now a preferred haven for many seabirds. Among them, the king penguin holds a special place. If you are lucky enough to land at Salisbury Plain, you will experience a powerful moment amid a colony of no less than 250,000 individuals. They move around peacefully, without worrying about the rare humans who come to visit them. A privileged and moving moment. ![Colony of king penguins at Fortuna Bay, South Georgia](https://us.ponant.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2Fb095bb4a-e3e3-4be4-be81-da58c78960d1%2FManchots-Royaux-Fortuna-Bay-Georgie-du-sud%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75) ### Cross the Antarctic Circle When the navigation instruments display the symbolic numbers 66°33', the signal is given: you are in the heart of Antarctica, beyond the 66th parallel. Crossed for the first time by the British explorer James Cook in 1773, the Antarctic Circle is an integral part of the imagination and history of Antarctica. Experience the unique sensation of reaching this goal and sailing in the footsteps of the great explorers, which embraces all enthusiasts and provides immense joy. ![The cruise ship Le Lyrial in the Lemaire Channel, Antarctica](https://us.ponant.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2Ffbad4937-3cd5-402e-aef3-855f71e67fea%2FLyrial-Canal-Lemaire-StudioPonant-Laurence-Fischer-3%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75) ### Encounter majestic marine wildlife From the Falkland Islands to the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctic cruises offer unforgettable encounters with marine mammals. It is not uncommon to come across fur seals, orcas, seals and elephant seals. And when humpback whales join the scene, the enchantment is complete. ![Humpback whale jumping out of the ocean in Antarctica](https://us.ponant.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2F125a46f3-227c-4f8c-8470-ea799e23cd1f%2FHumpbackWhale_Antarctique%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75) ### Witness the magnificent icebergs Whether they are described as tabular, squat or pointed, all icebergs tend to leave travellers speechless. These sea giants are truly awe-inspiring! As majestic as they are unsettling, their tall silhouettes rise above the waves and dive very deep below the surface in colours of a thousand shades of blue, sparkling under the icy sun of Antarctica. ![Brash ice and icebergs near Savissivik, Greenland](https://us.ponant.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2Fbde44342-8e27-4345-802f-7d9ba6d9ec55%2F041_B100817_Savissivik-StudioPONANT-O-Blaud%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75) ### Experience a unique natural sanctuary Little known and remarkably well preserved, the subantarctic islands of New Zealand are among the few places on Earth still virtually untouched by human presence. Some of these scattered islands are inaccessible and therefore completely protected. The Snares Islands, Bounty Islands, Antipodes Islands, Auckland Islands and Campbell Islands form an invaluable haven for the endemic species that inhabit them, including 126 species of birds. ![Snow-covered mountains on the Antarctic Peninsula](https://us.ponant.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmycreativehub.ponant.com%2Ftransform%2Fb0b12316-996d-4b83-982b-8ffa5a25be3b%2Fnath-michel-antarctic-iceberg-hd-ho%3Fio%3Dtransform%253Afill%252Cwidth%253A768%252Cheight%253A432%26focuspoint%3D0.5%252C0.5%26format%3Dwebp&w=3840&q=75) Loading Close Back to top Contacts We are here to listen to your requests and respond to them by email or phone.
