Magellan Discoverer | Cruise Ship Antarctica

Magellan Discoverer | Cruise Ship Antarctica

Overview

Extending our tradition of offering exclusive small ship expeditions to Antarctica, we are pleased to introduce the newest addition: Magellan Discoverer, scheduled to embark on voyages during the 2026-27 Antarctic season.
Magellan Discoverer represents a commitment to innovative design and environmental responsibility, serving as a counterpart to Magellan Explorer. While maintaining a similar level of sophistication and style, the Magellan Discoverer takes its own path with notable improvements.
Construction of the Magellan Discoverer will take place at the ASENAV shipyard in Valdivia, Chile, the same shipyard responsible for building the Magellan Explorer.
