HX Expeditions公司运营的MS Roald Amundsen邮轮正在推行一项12天的南极探险项目，吸引了360多名乘客参与这一充满冒险的旅程[1]。该巡航穿越德雷克海峡——南美洲与南极半岛之间约1000公里的海洋——抵达南极地区[1]。
此次探险包括皮划艇、登陆和极地跳水等多项冒险活动[1]。2025/26季节新增的皮划艇项目为时1小时，使用充气皮划艇进行[1]。在360多名乘客中，超过一半的人参加了极地跳水活动[1]。邮轮刻意避免提前公布详细日程，以保持旅程的不可预测性[1]。
心理学研究表明，当人们突破舒适区并成功完成挑战时，会产生强烈的多巴胺反应，这使得南极之旅成为充满惊奇和喜悦的体验[1]。对于2026/27季节出发的游客，Polar Outside船舱的价格为每人15,227美元起，套房则为每人23,436美元起[1]。
A journalist from the Sydney Morning Herald recently completed a 12-day Antarctic cruise with HX Expeditions aboard the MS Roald Amundsen, documenting an expedition that combines extreme activities with psychological rewards [1]. The voyage, known as Highlights of Antarctica, traversed the Drake Passage, the 1,000-kilometer stretch of ocean between South America and the Antarctic Peninsula, and exposed more than 360 passengers to experiences ranging from kayaking to polar plunging [1].
The cruise itinerary intentionally avoids publishing detailed schedules in advance, embracing unpredictability as part of the expedition's design [1]. For the 2025-26 season, the voyage introduced a new one-hour kayaking program using inflatable kayaks, adding to the roster of adventure activities [1]. More than half of the 360 passengers aboard opted to participate in polar diving, an extreme swim in Antarctic waters [1]. From a psychological perspective, the article explores how successfully pushing beyond one's comfort zone triggers powerful dopamine responses, transforming the Antarctic journey into an experience marked by profound wonder and satisfaction [1].
For travelers considering the expedition, pricing for the 2026-27 season begins at $15,227 per person for a Polar Outside cabin, with suite accommodations starting at $23,436 per person [1].
