New Zealand's Subantarctic and Antarctica: Ross Sea and Macquarie Island

21 nights · 25. January - 15. February 2027 · Dunedin → Dunedin

Discover the voyage↓

Twenty-one nights to the Ross Sea: Le Soléal departs from Dunedin on New Zealand's South Island and sets a course into the high southern latitudes that are barely known in Europe. By way of the sub-Antarctic Snares and Macquarie Islands the route reaches the Ross Sea, scene of the Scott and Shackleton expeditions and one of the most remote polar regions of all. The voyage returns to Dunedin. A genuine expedition route, dependent on ice and weather, set against the history of the heroic age of polar discovery.
