Antarctica Private Yacht Charters

Hanse Explorer

First-class expedition yacht

Cruise remote, untouched icey wildernesses

Tough yet filled with comforts, this expedition yacht offers an epic journey with experiences of a lifetime tailored entirely to you.

Managed by an expert private expedition crew, the Hanse Explorer has been created with serious adventures in mind. Its six staterooms are dressed in comfort, promising complete relaxation between your glacial encounters.

Watch humpback whales from the bar and lounge, photograph glass-like icebergs as they float by, before heading out on close-up zodiac experiences. The knowledgable and experienced crew will take you on exhilarating excursions to walk on glaciers, camp on ice and spot seals and penguins – all customised to your desired pace.

Back on board, sink into comfort at the luxurious Finnish sauna, watch movies on the flat-screen TV and share stories over gourmet meals. With an Open Ship Philosophy, you are encouraged to wander wherever you wish, while the warm and friendly staff ensure a safe, private and unforgettable stay.

Places to combine Hanse Explorer with

Torres del Paine

Awasi Patagonia
You wouldn’t think that the spectacular Patagonian region of Torres del Paine could get any better regarding luxurious design-led hotels, but it has, courtesy of the exclusive sibling hotel to Awasi Atacama, and the only lodge in the area to offer tailor-made excursions for each guest. Adding to that, a portion of the proceeds from each guest’s stay helps to support The Awasi Patagonia Conservation Project, which aims to create a natural corridor for wildlife. Awasi guides also help to monitor the puma populations and keep hunters away, increasing the properties, and its guests, positive impact on the region. 14 wooden-clad, shipping crate-style ‘villas’, which were inspired by the old outpost shelters, lie scattered over the wind-protected private reserve, facing the epic Lake Sarmiento and the famous three-tower peaks. Inside, the warming and minimal Scandinavian cabin decor nicely cushions you from the harsh weather outside, with natural wood interiors, large inviting beds, your own living room with log fireplaces, a hot tub and with every modern amenity to hand. The master villa, which has two bedrooms, is perfect for families. The dispersal of these freestanding villas befits the solitude of your surroundings, giving you a pleasing level of privacy but also a heightened experience of the landscape’s isolation. The main house, just a short walk from the villas, features a Relais & Chateaux restaurant, terrace and living area. Awasi is renowned not only for its style, but for tailoring its tours to each individual guest and for serving delectable gourmet food. Guests can choose whatever excursions they want to do, without having to compromise for the sake of a group.
