Wenn es einen Ort auf der Welt gibt, der wie kein anderer die Fantasie von Reisenden beflügelt und bei ihnen sofort die Sehnsucht nach Abenteuern auslöst, dann sind es die fernen, unberührten Gebiete des weißen Kontinents. Die Antarktis, die von einer erstaunlichen endemischen Tierwelt bewohnt wird, heißt Sie auf einer 11-tägigen Expeditionskreuzfahrt willkommen.
An der Grenze zwischen Atlantik und Pazifik fahren Sie durch die Drake-Passage. Dort warten die „Roaring Forties“ und „Screaming Fifties“ auf Sie: Der Wind bläst und die Wellen schlagen gegen den Bug des Schiffs. Kapsturmvögel begleiten Sie in ihr Reich bis Sie die ersten Küsten des weißen Kontinents am Horizont entdecken.
Um Sie herum nur Eis, soweit das Auge reicht und in seinen allen Formen. Gebirgsreliefs öffnen sich, um den riesigen kalbenden Gletschern Platz zu machen, Tafeleisberge treiben im Südlichen Ozean und in der Ferne schillert Packeis. Die Naturführer an Bord weihen Sie in die Geheimnisse dieses einzigartigen Ökosystems ein, und während Sie sich den Ufern nähern, erscheinen die ersten Pinguine. Esels-, Adelie- und Zügelpinguine, diese kuriosen Vögel, Wahrzeichen der Antarktis, teilen ihre Strände mit Seeleoparden, Krabbenfresser- und Weddellrobben. Bei Ausfahrten oder Anlandungen mit den Zodiacs oder einer Kajak-Tour bewegen Sie sich in einer grandiosen Kulisse, durchflutet vom Polarlicht.
Wir sind Gäste dieser extremen Regionen, wo Wetter- und Eisbedingungen das Sagen haben. Reiseverlauf, Anlandungen an bestimmten Orten und Tierbeobachtungen können nicht garantiert werden und variieren von Tag zu Tag. So wird jede Kreuzfahrt mit PONANT einzigartig. Der Kapitän und der Expeditionsleiter setzen alles daran, Ihre Erfahrung so reich wie möglich zu gestalten, unter Einhaltung der Sicherheitsregeln und der IAATO-Richtlinien.

Expedition programmes include activities such as Zodiac® outings and landings (sometimes with "wet landing"), moderate walks to more active hikes, all accompanied by your expedition team of naturalist guides.
Ports of call, visited sites, outings and landings will depend on weather conditions, position of ice, winds and the state of the sea. These can force a change of plans at any time. The Captain and the Expedition Leader may at any time cancel or stop any activity, or even modify the itinerary. The final itinerary will be confirmed by the Captain, who will take into account the touristic quality of the sites and above all, the safety of the passengers. His decision will be based on advice from experts and authorities.
Travelling to polar/isolated regions is an exhilarating experience in remote areas: please remember that you are far from modern hospitals with full medical facilities, thus evacuation is extremely expensive. Without adequate medical coverage, all expenses will have to be immediately paid with your personal funds. We urge you to subscribe to full coverage insurance, choose your insurance company very carefully, be extremely vigilant and ensure your insurance is fully comprehensive, especially if you are insured by your credit card. PONANT offers an insurance contract with extensive guarantees, please contact us for more information.

PONANT Aktivitäten
Kayak Discovery
Get as up close to the natural environment as possible with an excursion aboard a two-person sea kayak, during one 2-hour session.
Guided by a state-registered polar navigation specialist, you'll discover and explore breathtakingly scenic polar landscapes and scenery.
All the necessary equipment will be provided for you on board.
How is the activity organised?
Once you’ve arrived onboard the ship, you’ll meet your guides and the rest of the people taking part in the activity. This will be an opportunity to provide a general introduction to the activity, outline the rules that need to be followed, provide the necessary equipment and separate the participants into groups based on personal preferences and/or ability level.
The day before the activity is due to take place, a new briefing session will be organised to provide you with further details about the port of call and how the excursion will be organised. We’ll then provide you with the necessary equipment, which you’ll be required to take very good care of.
On the day of the kayak activity, you’ll first get changed at the ship’s marina platform (keeping your boots and parkas with you) before then being transported to land by Zodiac® and taken to your kayaks.
Before you climb into your kayaks and set off on your adventure, your guides will provide a final safety briefing.
What requirements do you need to meet in order to go sea kayaking?
Though it’s always useful to have at least one experience of sea kayaking under your belt, due to the high quality of the equipment we provide and the experience of the guides who’ll be supervising you, we are able to take complete beginners to places normally only accessible to professional kayakers and seasoned outdoor adventurers.
Participants will be formed into groups based on ability level onboard the ship to ensure everyone is able to make smooth progress on the trip.
Sea kayaking is a physically demanding activity, for both the heart and the muscles. We require you to be in a good state of general physical health and to have a good sense of balance.
This activity is available to adults (aged 18 or over) and to children of 16 and over when accompanied by a parent.
Please note:
- One 2-hour session. Price per participant: 350 €
- Number of participants restricted to 20 per trip.
- This activity must be pre-booked in advance at least 7 days before the start of your cruise. Bookings made after this deadline will only be confirmed once onboard and are dependent on availability.
- Your vouchers will be dropped off directly in your room, during your cruise.
- Due to restrictions on the number of places available and a high level of interest from our passengers, there may be limited access to certain activities. The cost of any kayak trip cancelled by a passenger prior to departure will still remain payable in full.
- PONANT provides each participant with a sea kayak (Prijon Excursion EVO - two-person kayak for two participants), a dry suit (Sandyline - specially designed for PONANT), a life jacket, hand protection, kayak sea socks, spray skirt, carbon paddle (TNP Wolferine) and a waterproof bag.
- Depending on opportunities/availabilities during your cruise, additional Kayak tours can be booked only onboard.
- Kayak excursions are subject to weather and ice conditions on the day.
- You will be accompanied by state-certified kayakers each time you go out in a kayak.
- We require you to be in a good state of general physical health and to have a good sense of balance.

30. Januar 2025 - Ushuaia
Einschiffung 30.01.2025 von 16:00 bis 17:00
Abfahrt 30.01.2025 um 18:00
Die Hauptstadt der argentinischen Provinz Feuerland Ushuaia gilt als das Tor zur „weißen Kontinent“ und zum Südpol. Von den Argentiniern “El fin del mundo” genannt, liegt Ushuaia tatsächlich fast am Ende der Welt, eingebettet in den Schutz der Berge und umgeben von fruchtbaren Ebenen, bewohnt von zahlreichen Tierarten. In dieser außergewöhnlichen Lage, wo die Hänge der Anden direkt ins Meer hinabfallen, ist Ushuaia einer der faszinierendsten Orte der Welt, mit einem Namen, der den Beginn unvergleichlicher Reisen in kaum zugängliche Regionen verspricht.
31. Januar 2025 1. Februar 2025 - Fahrt durch die Drake-Passage
Ankunft 31.01.2025
Abfahrt 01.02.2025
Nutzen Sie die Tage in der Drake-Passage dazu, sich mit dem Schiff vertraut zu machen und Ihre Kenntnisse über die Antarktis zu vertiefen. Der Expeditionsleiter stellt Ihnen den Verhaltenskodex der IAATO vor, in dem Richtlinien für Landgänge festgelegt wurden, und erklärt Ihnen, wie die Ausfahrten mit dem Zodiac vor sich gehen. Vorträge über die Geschichte und die Fauna der Antarktis vermitteln Ihnen mehr über diese zauberhafte Region, in der jede Kreuzfahrt ein einmaliges Erlebnis ist. Erleben Sie außergewöhnliche Augenblicke der Navigation, bevor Sie auf den Außendecks mit den Naturführern Albatrosse, Kapsturmvögel und andere Seevögel am Himmel der Drake-Passage entdecken.
2. Februar 2025 6. Februar 2025 - Antarktische Halbinsel
Ankunft 02.02.2025
Abfahrt 06.02.2025
Lassen Sie sich von diesem einzigartigen Ort verblüffen. Die mythische Antarktische Halbinsel übt noch heute eine echte Faszination aus und verspricht ihren Besuchern unvergessliche Augenblicke. Während Ihres ganzen Abenteuers in dieser Kulisse aus Eis fahren Sie durch spektakuläre und subtile Nuancen von blau und weiß, umgeben von einer außergewöhnlichen Fauna. Pinguine, Buckelwale, Seehunde und Riesensturmvögel sind hier ebenso zu Hause wie See-Elefanten, Pelzrobben, Südliche Zwergwale und Schwertwale. Vielleicht haben Sie während der Ausfahrten das Glück, diese Tiere zu beobachten und mit ihnen die extreme Schönheit dieser Orte zu teilen.
Jeden Tag bieten Ihnen der Kapitän und der Expeditionsleiter von den Eisbedingungen abhängige Anlandungen oder Ausfahrten mir dem zodiac, auf denen Sie den unendlichen Reichtum der Antarktischen Halbinsel entdecken. Gletscher, Packeis, Tafeleisberge, steil ins Wasser abfallende Berggipfel, vulkanische Strände, Forschungsstationen, zauberhafte Buchten oder auch Überreste der Walfangindustrie: Dies sind die vielen Gesichter dieser Region in gedämpfter Stille und einer irreal wirkenden Atmosphäre. So folgen Sie den Spuren von Jean-Baptiste Charcot, Adrien de Gerlache oder Sir Ernest Shackleton, bedeutende Erforscher der Antarktis, die sich Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts aufmachten, diese entlegenen und unbewohnten Regionen zu erobern.
7. Februar 2025 8. Februar 2025 - Fahrt durch die Drake-Passage
Ankunft 07.02.2025
Abfahrt 08.02.2025
Sofern es einen Ort, ein Meer, eine Passage gibt, vor dem sich Besucher, Forscher und gestandene Seeleute gleichermaßen fürchten, dann ist das wohl die Drakestraße. Auf der Breite der berühmt berüchtigten „Screaming Fifties“ zwischen Kap Hoorn und den Südlichen Shetlandinseln bildet sie den kürzesten Weg zwischen der Antarktis und Südamerika. Der Weiße Kontinent will errungen werden, werden Ihnen erfahrene Antarktisreisende sagen … Kalte Ströme fließen vom Südpol in nördlicher Richtung und treffen hier auf wärmere äquatoriale Wassermassen, wodurch ideale Lebensbedingungen für eine vielfältige Meeresfauna entstehen. Und wenn Sie die Augen heben, sehen Sie am Himmel elegante Albatrosse und Kapsturmvögel, die sich in den tragenden Winden um das Schiff herum vergnügen.
9. Februar 2025 - Ushuaia
Ankunft 09.02.2025
Ausschiffung 09.02.2025 um 08:00
Die Hauptstadt der argentinischen Provinz Feuerland Ushuaia gilt als das Tor zur „weißen Kontinent“ und zum Südpol.

This 227,298-hectare sanctuary was founded under the name of Lago Gray National Tourism Park on May 13, 1959, when the main activity of the area was still Livestock and tourism were relegated to a few adventurers. Just on April 30, 1970, the park adds 11,000 new hectares to its protected terrain and is baptized as it is known today: Torres del Paine National Park. The park encompasses ancient forests, glaciers, lakes, rivers and fjords, and fauna including guanacos, foxes, pumas and a diverse array of birds.

While in El Calafate everything is dry, harsh and flat, at the park entrance you will see trees, mountains and green vegetation. Soon you will see the breath-taking Perito Moreno glacier, the centerpiece of the national park. Due to unusually favorable local conditions, it is one of the few advancing glaciers on the planet. The Moreno glacier merits a visit and you will be highly impressed standing only a few meters away from its 200 to 260-yard high (60 to 80 m) walls. The deep blue colors of the ice and the shape of the glacier with all its small columns are unbelievable. You will have enough time to explore this site by yourself, before returning to El Calafate.
