Magellan Discoverer

Designed as the sister ship to Magellan Explorer, it blends sleek, contemporary style with cutting-edge sustainability at its core

THE MAGELLAN DISCOVERER

A sustainable luxury antarctic cruise

Setting new standards in design, sustainability and elegance, Magellan Discoverer redefines Antarctic voyages with hybrid propulsion, refined interiors, and an immersive small-ship experience.

This luxury polar vessel glides through ice‑scapes and remote polar seascapes, offering panoramic views of Antarctica’s vast white horizons and glacial coastlines. Crafted as a sister ship to Magellan Explorer, it combines elegant design with environmental stewardship, balancing sleek modern lines and thoughtful materials for a refined onboard ambience.

Life aboard is paced by quiet moments of wellness, fitness, and exploration. Guests may start with a workout in the onboard gym, follow with time in the sauna or spa, then step out onto deck for wildlife watching or photographic excursions, all knitted into a rhythm of active recovery and immersive discovery.

Dining aboard flows from morning to night through light, flexible venues — from breakfast and buffet to plated dinners — with a focus on local flavours and elevated cuisine. Signature experiences may include chef’s tasting menus or themed dinners under polar skies, all tailored to the expedition’s pace and shifting daylight.

“EXPERT KNOWLEDGE COUPLED WITH FIRST-CLASS SERVICE”

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve booked several luxury holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company: from Kenya and Belize to Morocco, Tuscany, Egypt and most recently Tanzania, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Their specialists are passionate and deeply knowledgeable, their local partners outstanding, and their service consistently first class. We’ll continue turning to them for every special trip.

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”

The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”

Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. The Ultimate Travel Company gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “The Ultimate Travel Company”!
