Exploring Antarctica is about to become even more accessible with Pelorus, a tour company offering unique expeditions to the most remote and exciting locations. With Pelorus, travelers can discover Antarctica on a memorable journey. Pelorus works with a network of global experts who utilize their knowledge of challenging environments to create and deliver expeditions, all within the boundaries of International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators.

 

The expedition offers a wide range of activities, such as heli-skiing in remote areas, participating in conservation and scientific research, ice climbing some of the oldest glaciers and kayaking through the cold waters.

 

Charters and trips take place during Antarctic summer, December–February. Each charter and trip is planned nine to 12 months in advance, as there are a limited number of vessels equipped to make this journey. Travelers interested in embarking on a journey should reach out as early as possible to begin planning and preparations.

 

Depending on the traveler’s interest and adventure level, there are several yachts chartered by Pelorus in Antarctica. One of the main ones is LEGEND yacht, a 77.4-meter vessel with a 13.5-meter beam. The interior features 11 individual suites, a fully equipped Balinese-style spa, movie theater, gym, whisky bar and piano lounge. The vast deck area offers plenty of seating for observation and relaxation, lounging space, outdoor heating, a bar, barbecue and a 16-person infinity-view Jacuzzi. The ship also features a selection of vehicles perfect for expeditions, including a helicopter, submarine and snowmobiles.
