Welcome to Shackleton.
What’s in a name? In Shackleton’s case, an untold amount.
It’s a name with a unique heritage from the heroic age of exploration, a name synonymous with courage, leadership, adventure and endurance.
Fast forward a hundred years and it’s now a name that’s taking its place in the world of contemporary exploration and discovery. Our enterprise, set up in Sir Ernest’s honour and supported by his descendants, is based in London and serves a worldwide community of adventurers.
Here’s an introduction to our people, purpose, products, and expedition experiences. Watch the short film above and learn about our mission to inspire people to seize their ‘life's set prize’ as the Boss had it; to Live Courageously.
