Cruise to Antarctica with Jon Stevens in 2027
Buenos Aires return | Departs 14 November 2027 | 13 days | Quark Expeditions
Jon Stevens. Antarctica. November 2027.
Buenos Aires return | Departs 14 November 2027 | 13 days | Quark Expeditions
Some journeys are simply not repeatable. Jon Stevens has been one of Australia's most enduring rock voices for four decades. Noiseworks. INXS. A solo career that has never stopped. Guests on this voyage will hear him perform not in an arena, not in a theatre, but on a small ship in the middle of the world's last great wilderness. Jon Stevens performing intimately for 140 guests on an expedition ship sailing the waters of Antarctica — this combination of artist, wilderness and scale simply does not exist anywhere else.

Request your brochureDiscovering the 7th Continent
Your voyage explores the Antarctic Peninsula, where towering icebergs, immense glaciers and shorelines alive with wildlife create one of the most remarkable landscapes on earth. In November the scenery is at its most pristine — deep, untouched snow, and penguins returning to their colonies to court and nest. It is a quiet, peaceful world, and standing within it is a feeling very few travellers will ever know — fewer than 0.002% of the world's population has ever set foot on Antarctica. Our exclusive 13-day Antarctic Explorer itinerary brings you the very best of the Antarctic Peninsula. For many of our guests, this is the journey they have dreamed of for a lifetime.

A Thoughtfully Designed Journey
Your itinerary has been designed by Destination HQ with every detail considered, from your first night to your last. The journey includes a night in Buenos Aires before you sail, a private charter flight to Ushuaia arranged entirely for our group, and two relaxed nights in Buenos Aires at the end — time to rest and reflect before flying home or exploring further. Once aboard, the voyage is all inclusive, right down to the tipping, so there is nothing to think about. All meals, every Zodiac excursion and shore landing, and an expedition parka to keep are part of the journey. A few adventures are offered at additional cost — sea kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and camping on the ice — so the choice is entirely yours. And woven through it all: three intimate performances by Jon Stevens. Nowhere else will you experience live music in a setting quite like this.

Highlights of Your Journey
Thirteen days, carefully composed — here is what makes this voyage unlike any other.
Begin in Buenos Aires
Arrive a night early and settle in, before the group travels together by private charter flight to Ushuaia to join the ship.
Nine Nights Aboard Quark’s World Explorer
Sail to one of the last truly untouched places on earth — towering icebergs, pristine snow, and shorelines alive with wildlife.
Three Exclusive Concerts with Jon Stevens
Live performances for our small group of guests, in a setting no concert venue could ever match.
Travel in November, the Loveliest Time of All
Early spring brings deep, untouched snow, dramatic sea ice, and penguins at their busiest — courting, nesting and laying their eggs — with long days of light stretching late into the evening.
Guided by True Polar Experts
Quark Expeditions has spent more than thirty years in the Polar Regions. Their expedition team — passionate, experienced and deeply knowledgeable — brings the history, wildlife and landscapes of Antarctica to life every day.
Wildlife at Every Turn
Penguins courting on the shorelines, seals on the ice floes, the first whales of the season arriving in the bays — and albatrosses gliding overhead.
An Itinerary Written by Nature
There is no fixed route in Antarctica — the environment calls the shots. Your Expedition Leader and captain monitor conditions around the clock, adjusting course to put you in the right place at the right time.
Farewell in Buenos Aires
Two nights in the city to rest and reflect, with a half-day sightseeing tour and airport transfers included.

Why Travel on a Hosted Destination HQ Journey?
With you every step of the way
This is our fourth Cruising with the Stars voyage — and each one has been shaped by the same belief: that the journey itself should be as extraordinary as the destination.
At the heart of this voyage is something no stage on earth can offer: Jon Stevens, performing three exclusive concerts for a small group of guests, surrounded by the ice, the beauty and the silence of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Our guests keep coming back. Our Svalbard Explorer voyage to the High Arctic with Daryl Braithwaite drew glowing reviews, and our voyages with Kate Ceberano and Delta Goodrem both sold out. Each voyage builds on the last.
Travelling with Destination HQ means having expert hosts with you from beginning to end — four of our team travel with you, people who know the ship, know the programme, and are there to ensure every detail unfolds exactly as it should.
While this voyage is the centrepiece of your trip, we are here to take care of everything around it. We love working with our clients to design a complete itinerary — one that flows beautifully and is customised entirely around you.
From international flights and additional sightseeing to private touring and onward travel through South America, we can bring all the pieces together for you.
Having everything arranged in one place means your dates align, your arrangements connect, and your time is spent enjoying the journey rather than managing it.

Your exclusive entertainment
Four decades of Australian rock. Three performances. One continent very few will ever see.
Jon Stevens is one of the most enduring figures in Australian rock. As the unmistakable voice of Noiseworks, he delivered the anthems of a generation — Take Me Back, Touch, Hot Chilli Woman and No Lies. From 2000 to 2005 he fronted INXS, carrying songs like Never Tear Us Apart, Don’t Change and New Sensation to audiences around the world.
More than four decades on, Jon continues to tour nationally to full houses — and in November 2027, he brings those hits somewhere no stage has ever been quite like.
Aboard World Voyager, Jon will perform three times during the voyage. These are intimate shows in a theatre shared with just 140 guests — the same songs that filled arenas, heard up close, with icebergs drifting past the window.
Renowned as an exceptional live performer, Jon brings a warmth and presence to every show. This is a rare chance to experience it in the most remarkable setting on earth
