Depending on weather conditions, we will have two days – perhaps even less – to prep for the day when we will finally step onto the “great white continent”. During the first conferences and information meetings, our expedition team will further hone your explorer’s spirit. Our common desire for exploration goes hand in hand with our desire to preserve this environment.
As environmentally conscious sea travellers, we put into practice what we preach: for example, our equipment is cleaned so that no foreign elements can reach Antarctic lands.
As we edge closer towards the continent, beanies and gloves will be needed as we go out onto the deck to admire the waves and the birds’ synchronised movements. Cape petrels, southern giant petrels and albatrosses follow our ship as we head towards land.
During five whole days, Exploris One will sail from one natural wonder to the next. Our itinerary is dictated by sea and weather conditions: our expedition leader will decide which stops to make based on these factors. The itinerary laid out below is subject to change.
We might come across some interesting marine animals, for example. Indeed, we’re not the only ones who are aware that Brabant Island and Anvers Island form a shield against the tumult of the Antarctic Ocean. Both humpbacks and minke whales seek shelter in the tranquil waters of the Gerlache Strait. There, we will delight in the majestic sight of these mammals, as delicate as they are gigantic.
From the comfort and safety of your Zodiac, artfully dodging the early season’s brash ice and “bergy bits,” you begin to anticipate your first face-to-face encounter with Antarctica’s majesty.
Exploris One is setting sail once again across the Drake Passage. Crossing the Antarctic Convergence, the boundary beyond which water temperatures rise, we leave the Southern Ocean for the South Atlantic. We enter the realm of the Furious Fifties and Screaming Forties. Sometimes, all the “beasts” are tamed, and the crossing proves to be a gentle return to reality.
Final lectures delivered by our naturalists, final exchanges of photos, addresses, contacts… So that the end of the journey is not the end of the adventure.

Enjoy your expedition with complete peace of mind.
Everything is included in our travel packages: excursions, Zodiac© trips, activities, thematic conferences, full board with drinks and an open bar formula. If your trip includes the polar region, we’ll offer you an expedition jacket.
Flying the French flag, Exploris One was specially designed to sail the most demanding waters of the world, in particular those of the polar regions.
Equipped with a reinforced hull, she is the ideal ship for exploring glacial regions in a completely safe environment: in fact, she is regarded as a global benchmark in this field.
Thanks to her recent renovations (2018 & 2023), Exploris One perfectly combines adventure and an exceptional level of comfort, along with a personalized service of excellence which will make your expeditions unique.
She features 60 cabins and 12 suites, among the most spacious available on board expedition ships . Explorers will also be able to enjoy a fitness and well-being area, panoramic decks and lounges, as well as outdoor jacuzzis for a moment of relaxation with a view between two explorations.
