The krill-rich waters support abundant wildlife, from humpback whales and fur seals to albatrosses and penguins. An estimated 12 million penguins of varying species call the Antarctic Peninsula home.

HX goes beyond Antarctica, with South Georgia, the Falkland Islands, Patagonia, and more included on many of our voyages.

Enrich Your Mind

Your expert Expedition Team will deliver lectures on a range of topics, such as Antarctica’s geology, marine biology, history, and ornithology. These lectures and talks will be held in the ship’s industry-leading onboard Science Center, out on deck, ashore during landings, or when cruising in small boats (RIBs).

The ships' Science Center is a treasure trove of information on Antarctica and other destinations. Use advanced microscopes to analyze rock, soil, and water samples taken from the field, which are usually full of microscopic life for you to discover.

You can also choose to get involved in a variety of Citizen Science projects that document wildlife or other aspects of the environment. Some projects use photos you’ve taken to add to scientific research around the world. Engage with the natural world and contribute to important scientific research!

Star Clippers Now Embarking from Grenada

Miami, FL, March 2024 – Star Clippers is pleased to announce that Grenada will serve as its newest homeport for the fleet’s 166-guest clipper ship, Star Clipper, during several new Feb-March 2026 sailings. Working with the Grenada Tourism Authority, Star Clippers has also been able to add Grenada’s friendly – and beautiful – Carriacou and its Paradise Beach as one of the ports on the 10- and 11-night itineraries. Full details are available in the just released 2024-2026 Star Clippers Brochure.

“Although Star Clippers ships have been visiting Grenada on their many Caribbean itineraries for some years, when they saw the opportunity to homeport one of their ships there, they immediately set to work with the Grenada Tourism Authority to make it a reality,” offered Mikael Krafft, CEO & President of Star Clippers. “The Caribbean is an ideal region for us as the famous Caribbean winds are always there to power our clipper ships, and to be able to offer our guests more opportunities to experience the beauty and culture of Grenada opens up a host of new possibilities.”

Petra Roach, CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority, said “The Pure Grenada and Star Clippers brands are aligned in prioritizing authentic experiences for our customers, designed to nourish and feed the soul. Nature treks, beautiful birdsong, delicious cuisine, local traditions and heritage all cascade into an enriching experience second to none. And with convenient direct airlift from the USA and Canada, and our starring role as the newest home port for Star Clipper, there’s never been a better time to visit our beautiful tri-island state.”
