There are several ways to experience the stunning Antarctic Peninsula, but none more captivating than an immersive trip that features lectures hosted by inspirational and accomplished National Geographic experts.
Nat Geo experts accompany every voyage into the Antarctica, but from time to time special guests are on board to welcome our guests and share with them their knowledge and stories.
Depending on the cruise you’ll get to hear about topics including wildlife, history, geopolitics, the great explorers and environmental protection, all of which will enhance any journey to Antarctica. The experts include geographers, glaciologists, a TED Fellow who writes about glaciers, people and climate change, marine biologists and an editor and author who specialises in natural history, particularly the underwater world.
As an example, during the 11-day Emblematic Antarctica voyages, departing in February 2020 and January and February 2021, the experts are Robert Kumzig, the senior environment editor at National Geographic magazine, and wildlife and environment photographer Jason Edwards.
Discovering one of the most famous points of polar exploration with a team of experts allows the traveller incredible first-hand insight and knowledge, and an introduces an extra level of perspective that will greatly enrich their experience.
Travellers are also encouraged to share adventures, drinks, dinner, deck time and activities with the National Geographic experts, so if you have that burning question about the rate at which the polar caps are melting now would be the perfect time to ask.
Prices for the 11-day Emblematic Antarctica trips start at AU$15,820 per person, twin share.
