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.
