Wildlife

Southern Royal Albatross

One of the two largest albatrosses alive, with a wingspan topping three metres. Watch for it gliding low over the swell around New Zealand's subantarctic islands.

Activity

Polar plunge

A brief, supervised jump into sub-zero Southern Ocean water, usually off the gangway or a zodiac, with a warm robe and hot drink waiting seconds later. It's less about the swim than the story of having done it at the bottom of the world.

Activity

Zodiac cruising

Zodiac cruising swaps landings for slow, low-level exploration by inflatable boat, threading between icebergs and along cliffs where ships cannot go. It rewards patience with close, quiet encounters at water level.
