The Shackleton

The opportunity of a lifetime to run past penguins and icebergs as you navigate a tough route on the white continent.

What To Expect

Join us and embark on a Marathon adventure like no other. Awaiting you an 11-day classic Antarctic expedition aboard a small ship offers an intimate and immersive experience of the White Continent's pristine landscapes and diverse wildlife, and topped off with the run of a lifetime -an Antarctic Marathon. This specially crafted itinerary was developed from a partnership between Terra Nova Expeditions and Alex Hennock of Far Corners Tours.

Our small ship expeditions, accommodating under 100 guests provide a more personalized experience with greater access to remote areas and flexible itineraries. Extra activities may include kayaking, camping on the continent, and engaging in citizen science projects. It's important to note that specific activities and landings are subject to weather and ice conditions.

We are proud to announce we have finalised the vessel for the trip, with the iconic Sea Adventurer your home for the 11 day itinerary. This incredible vessel is extremeley fast, stable and a big upgrade at no additional cost for the Marathon Group. With 12 Expedition staff, better onboard facilites, a gym and a lot more room to move around, we are sure you will feel right at home onboard.
