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.

“ULTIMATE TRIP WITH THE ULTIMATE TRAVEL COMPANY”

The service was both professional and genuinely caring, with real effort made to match our needs and personalities. Communication was excellent, with prompt responses throughout, and reassuring support while we were away. What impressed us most was how any issues were handled, often resolved before we were even aware of them, making the whole experience smooth and seamless. Thank you.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”

From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

“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.
