Icebird Expeditions offers exclusive small-group sailing adventures to Antarctica, designed for those seeking freedom, flexibility, and authentic exploration. Unlike traditional cruises, our expeditions are handcrafted for adventurers who want to ski untouched peaks, kayak among icebergs, or capture the raw beauty of the polar wilderness through photography. Led by expert guides aboard a custom expedition yacht, each journey is tailored to your interests —whether you're chasing light, solitude, or the thrill of discovery. Experience Antarctica on your terms, far from the crowds, and closer to nature.

Now you can choose between sailing or cruising to and from Antarctica.
