German-language Antarctic tours and Antarctic expeditions with German-language services

What good is the most beautiful trip in the world if you don't understand anything or find it difficult to communicate? We completely understand. Not everyone is fluent in English. With the different species of penguins and whales and the scientific lectures in English on board, even advanced learners can find themselves pondering.

On this page, you will find an overview of all ships and trips to Antarctica with German-language services. As not all trips on German-language ships are listed on our website yet, please contact us by phone or email if you are interested in German-language trips to Antarctica.

Experience German-language Antarctic voyages with inventia
If you want to cross the Antarctic Peninsula and sail through the famous Drake Passage, you can do so even without any knowledge of English. We at inventia have compiled an overview of all German-language Antarctic voyages. We offer many Antarctic cruises on different routes to the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia, or the Falkland Islands. Expert staff, polar researchers, and geologists on board give lectures on various topics for you—some of them in German. On a Zodiac trip, you can experience the everyday life of a polar researcher for yourself.

Discover the Antarctic Peninsula and visit penguin colonies
On German-language Antarctic voyages, you will discover bizarre ice landscapes and animal worlds together with glaciologists and biologists. You will get to know the home of countless penguin species and follow the flight of the albatross. During lectures, some of which are in German, you will learn from experts about the formation of the Antarctic Peninsula and the surrounding islands, for example. Most German-language Antarctic voyages begin and end in the city of Ushuaia in Argentina, the southernmost city in the world.

An Antarctic ship expedition is a unique experience that you will never forget. Now you can enjoy this experience in the comfort of your own home!
