For those seeking to explore the remote beauty of Antarctica while maintaining a fully Mehadrin kosher and Shabbat-observant lifestyle, Kosher Travelers presents an exclusive opportunity—a once-in-a-lifetime expedition to the seventh continent.

Departing on February 9, 2026, this is the only fully kosher cruise to Antarctica, offering a unique blend of adventure, luxury and Jewish tradition.

Antarctica, often referred to as the last frontier, is a vast, pristine expanse of ice and extraordinary landscapes. As the only continent without a permanent human population, it remains one of the most untouched and awe-inspiring places on earth. Travelers will have the chance to witness towering glaciers, massive icebergs and diverse wildlife, including seals, whales and penguins.

For Jewish travelers, the experience is deeply spiritual. Standing on the icy shores of Antarctica, surrounded by the grandeur of nature, it’s easy to echo the words “Mah Rabu Ma’asecha Hashem”—“How great are Your works, Hashem!”

This exclusive Mehadrin kosher expedition is designed to offer the highest standards of comfort, kashrut and spiritual enrichment.

Here’s what sets it apart:

• Fully Kosher Mehadrin and Shomer Shabbat: Enjoy world-class kosher dining, prepared according to the highest standards.
• 12-Night Expedition: Explore different islands daily, with Zodiac boat excursions offering up-close encounters with the local wildlife.
• Spiritual Enrichment: A fully equipped shul onboard with a sefer Torah ensures daily tefillot, even in this remote setting.
• Expert-Led Exploration: Knowledgeable guides, including seasoned naturalists and expedition leaders, offer insightful lectures and guidance throughout the journey.
• A Community of Like-Minded Travelers: This cruise is tailored for an English-speaking audience (primarily 50+), mostly from North America, who share a love for adventure and Jewish values.

The Journey Begins in Buenos Aires

The adventure kicks off with a two-day stay in Buenos Aires, a city renowned for its rich Jewish heritage, vibrant culture and stunning architecture. From Buenos Aires, guests will fly to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, where they will board the Sea Spirit, a luxury expedition ship chartered exclusively for Kosher Travelers.

The Sea Spirit offers an intimate experience, with accommodations for just 104 passengers. Guests will enjoy a range of onboard amenities, including a lounge, bar, gym and expert-led enrichment programs.

One of the highlights of the trip is crossing the Drake Passage, a famed waterway known for its dramatic currents and abundant wildlife. It’s considered a rite of passage for those seeking true adventure.

Upon reaching Antarctica, each day will bring a new island to explore. Passengers will have the opportunity to disembark via Zodiac boats to observe penguin colonies, majestic whales and breathtaking landscapes few will ever witness firsthand.

Preparing for Your Journey

Packing for Antarctica requires some preparation, much like preparing for a ski trip. Thermal clothing, waterproof layers and warm footwear are essential to ensure comfort in the frigid Antarctic climate. Kosher Travelers will provide winter coats for guests to take home.
