Antarctica Expedition 2024
- Embark on a members-only, all-inclusive expedition to one of the most breathtaking and iconic natural landscapes on earth
- Travel to the world’s most remote sites in remarkable comfort and maximum safety aboard the State-of-the-art National Geographic Resolution
- Set out on a true expedition adventure with a fleet of Zodiac motorized landing craft, kayaks, expert naturalist guides, as well as sophisticated equipment that allows unique access to the underwater world
Join your fellow Inspirato members as we embark on the adventure of a lifetime to one of the most remote—and most breathtaking—corners of the earth. Its landscape is virtually untouched by humans, where whales breach the icy waters, leopard seals roll on the ice, and penguins nest, feed, frolic, and swim.
Aboard the state-of-the-art National Geographic Resolution, you'll travel in comfort and safety, even as we traverse one of the world’s most inhospitable landscapes. On board, the ship carries a fleet of Zodiacs offering quick transport from the ship for shore excursions or getting an up-close look at various wildlife. Return from a day of exploration to enjoy complimentary cocktails in the Ice Lounge or relax in the LEXspa and sauna. Crew members and guest speakers offer presentations throughout the journey to give you an expert perspective on the region and its animal inhabitants as you witness them firsthand. Plus, take advantage of the “open bridge” policy to share the captain's view and chat with the officers and crew.
