Orion Expedition Cruises to Antarctica

View Scott and Shackleton’s expedition huts

MV Orion

Although custom-made for expedition cruising, MV Orion is the epitome of elegance. No expense has been spared when it comes to the quality of fittings and furnishings, and the range and calibre of onboard recreational facilities are nothing short of 5-star. Orion’s luxurious appointments mean she is more mega-yacht than cruise ship and her guests are few; around just 50 couples, all cared for in 5-star comfort by a crew of 75.

During the peak of the southern hemisphere summer, Orion offers travellers a unique opportunity to venture to the Continent of Antarctica. Orion sails from Australia and New Zealand, crossing the Antarctic Circle to places redolent with history and adventure.

Scott & Shackleton’s Antarctica - Ross Sea

These voyages cover some of the polar regions famously charted during the first race to the South Pole by pioneering explorers Scott and Shackleton. The Ross Sea coast extends from the ice shelf northwards until it reaches the very tip of Victoria Land and Cape Adare. During your time in the Ross Sea Region Orion will attempt a variety of opportunistic landings, subject to weather conditions.
