8 Days | 7 Nights | The Leading Polar Travel Company

Vast penguin colonies, hundreds of whales, seals, countless bird species, and of course, massive icebergs in deep shades of blue — all await you on our expedition to the seventh continent.

Antarctica has always captured the imagination of humankind and the greatest explorers: from Shackleton to Scott and Amundsen. All were drawn to the idea of the unknown — the quest to conquer the southernmost tip of the world. Some even gave their lives in pursuit of it.

We invite you on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to the most unique continent on Earth — guided by PhotoTeva’s expert team, so you’ll return with unforgettable memories.

Magellan Explorer – Our Expedition Ship

A brand-new ship, launched in 2019, featuring the latest in maritime technology and advanced stabilizers to minimize sea motion. All rooms are exceptionally spacious and comfortable, offering top-tier amenities. In the rooms with private balconies, guests can enjoy an unparalleled experience – taking in the full glory of the South Georgia Islands and Antarctica from the comfort of their own space. It’s a breathtaking view beyond words, where you can watch these majestic landscapes unfold just beyond the railing.

Would you rather FLY or SAIL the Drake Passage?

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is the strongest ocean current on Earth, uninterrupted by land for millions of years. The Drake Passage is where that huge current converges through a small passage, earning its nickname – roughest sea on Earth. Named after discoverer Sir Francis Drake, it’s notorious for sea vessels with waves over 40 feet too often. The 2.5-day long journey on a boat through this “washing machine” experience is not for the weak stomaches.

Luckily, there’s no need for you to find out about the Drake’s formidable waves for yourself! Instead of crossing the Drake Passage by boat, wasting time and energy, we have the advantage of saving 5 days of sailing by simply flying conveniently over Drake in a 2-hour specially chartered jet airplane.
If only the early sailors of the Antarctic had known we would be able to do that…
Our chartered ship, the Magellan Explorer, will wait for us near King George Island, and we will board it after a short hike and with the help of Zodiac boats.

ONCE WE CROSS THE DRAKE – OUR EXPEDITION CRUISE BEGINS!

Why Travel to Antarctica With Us?

Quality. Safety. Unforgettable Experiences.

If you’re going all the way to Antarctica, it’s worth doing it right — with maximum freedom, better opportunities, and no time wasted on less exciting stops. Most importantly, our small-group expeditions bring you closer to the wildlife and the raw beauty of nature.

This isn’t a crowded cruise with hundreds of passengers. A smaller group means more time with the animals, more meaningful encounters, and far better photo opportunities.
