Be Amongst the First to Cruise to Antarctica with NCL
Prepare to embark on a cruise like you've never experienced before. When you cruise to Antarctica with NCL, you get to take in breathtaking views and infinite beauty from the comfort of your balcony or the top-deck. Set your eyes on whale-abundant waters and catch a glimpse of penguin colonies as you sail past and feel free to experience all the wonder that surrounds you.
Meet Some Friendly Locals
Antarctica is home to some unique sub-species that you will only find in this region of the world. Sail past glaciers where you can spot leopard seals that will greet you with indistinguishable grins. Witness the largest animal to ever exist, the blue whale - species in Antarctica have been measured to be as big as three school buses! Don't forget to get your camera ready for the Emperor Penguin and other rare bird sightings.
| | | Deception Island, Antarctica The next stop on Norwegian Stars 13 or 15 day itineraries is Deception Island, a mountainous, horseshoe-shaped destination located off the coast of Antarctica in the South Shetland Islands. Home to an active volcano and eight nesting seabirds, Deception Island is a wildlife lover's paradise. The largest group of penguins in the Antarctic Peninsula, and possibly the world, is located here. This is your chance to witness tens of thousands of chinstrap penguins waddling about and slipping in and out of the frigid waters. | |
Elephant Island, Antarctica Situated off the coast of Antarctica, Elephant Island is named after the elephant seals that populate it and due to the island being shaped like an elephant head. Rugged mountains, glistening sheets of ice and unique wildlife add to the mystique of this remote destination. Despite its seemingly unforgiving, yet hauntingly beautiful landscape, legions of tuxedoed-looking penguins waddle across the rocky terrain whilst giant elephant seals lounge on its shores. | | | Norwegian Star Refurbished as part of the Norwegian Edge programme in 2018, Norwegian Star shines with upgrades. The extensive enhancements include upgrades to staterooms, public spaces, restaurants, bars and lounges. Start the day at Mandara Spa, where you can revive, refresh and recharge. Grab a drink at one of the many bars and lounges. Enjoy delicious dining, from Irish pub classics at O'Sheehan's to classic hibachi at Teppanyaki.
With NCL’s Peace of Mind policy, it is possible to cancel all cruises through October 31 2021 up to 15 days prior to embarkation and receive 100% future cruise credit in return for sailings through 2022.
