Magellan Discoverer: The New Standard for Boutique Exploration in Antarctica

Antarctica21 unveils Magellan Discoverer, its newest purpose-built hybrid-electric expedition vessel. Launching in late 2026, it is designed for the pioneering air-cruise model with premium all-balcony cabins. You can enjoy savings of up to USD $5,000 per person on select departures.

A Boutique Antarctic Experience
The journey begins in Punta Arenas, Chile, where guests fly over the Drake Passage in just two hours, arriving directly in Antarctica to embark on the ship. This seamless approach maximizes time exploring the White Continent while avoiding rough seas and long crossings.
On board, Magellan Discoverer delivers a refined, yacht-like atmosphere for up to 76 guests, featuring:
All-balcony cabins and suites offering uninterrupted Antarctic views
Elegant interiors blending contemporary design with expedition functionality
Observation lounge and panoramic spaces for immersive wildlife viewing
Expert-led expeditions with one of the highest guide-to-guest ratio
Curated dining experiences inspired by Patagonian and international cuisines
Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create an immersive connection with one of the most remote places on Earth.

Designed for Comfort & Exploration
Magellan Discoverer combines advanced polar technology with sustainable innovation, including a hybrid-electric propulsion system, ensuring efficient and responsible navigation in pristine Antarctic waters.
With a limited number of guests on board, the experience remains highly personalized. Disembark quickly, explore more frequently, and enjoy privileged access to remote landing sites that larger vessels simply cannot reach.
