Antarctica Discovery is a new web project that has been created by cruise line Voyages of Discovery. We are committed to responsible tourism and bringing an experience of a lifetime to our cruise passengers, letting them witness first hand the power of nature. This website, in short is dedicated to those experiences, a true reflection of Antarctica, which is so often represented by airbrushed images of Icebergs and pristine penguins or daring explorer’s battling the elements.
Whilst Antarctica may not be the pioneering destination it was once famous for, it remains the most dramatic landscape on Earth and is widely regarded by visitors as the most beautiful place on the planet; Somewhere so powerful that it does seem to get under your skin. It is still wild. Nature is still very much in charge and it is still more dramatic than any other place. And, if you are looking for a truly exotic landscape, there is none more so than Antarctica.
This website has been built to allow passengers, crew, lecturers and other people involved with us to tell their story and present an updated image of this beautiful continent. They are able to upload their photos, video, journals and comments to create a true reflection of the Antarctic regions. Everything you see here is amateur footage and genuine experiences from those who feel they have such a powerful experience to share.
You can also view the interactive map of Antarctica which pinpoints over real imagery the locations, photos and journals contained in this site, so you are always able to place these experiences into their actual environments.
