About

ROMTravel has partnered with Worldwide Quest International to offer a cruise to Antarctica.

Travellers often describe their first encounter with the silence, scale, and wildlife of Antarctica as a moment of awe. 

Step aboard the brand-new, custom-built “M/V Magellan Discoverer”, and experience the thrill of an early-season expedition to the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and the Antarctic Peninsula.

On this all-Canadian adventure, you will be accompanied by a stellar roster of experts whose extensive knowledge and authentic experiences will ensure thoughtful engagement at every stop. 

This unique trip is specially designed to take full advantage of the maneuverability and small size of the ship as well as an incredible itinerary of exceptional experiences. Albatrosses and other sea birds, seals, and penguins (South Georgia is home to the largest colony of King Penguins in the world) will introduce travellers to the rare wildlife of the region. Regional history, including a visit to what is believed to be the final resting place of Sir Ernest Shackleton, will put the history, remoteness, and allure of the region into sharp focus. Experiencing Earth’s own architecture – the towering glaciers and fjords of the Strait of Magellan or the majestic, soaring coastline of Antarctica – will provide astonishing moments of reverence for the overwhelming beauty of our natural world. 

With rarely visited destinations, thoughtful insights from experts, and meaningful onshore encounters, the richness woven into each step of the itinerary will truly make this trip an extraordinary experience.

Discover the full itinerary, meet our travel specialists, and have your questions answered.
