 The frigid sea and icy islands of the South Atlantic are a prelude to the vast white wilderness that awaits at the bottom of the world – yet they are just as captivating in their own right. On this comprehensive Antarctic expedition, we explore the remote wilderness and wildlife of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia in addition to our time on the Antarctic Peninsula. The entire region abounds with whales, seals, king penguins, seabirds, indescribable landscapes and legendary history, and we embrace it all on this three-week voyage to Antarctica. Expert guides, naturalists and geologists accompany us for an unparalleled Antarctic expedition to this remote wilderness.

Our naturalist staff loves South Georgia – the spectacular scenery and the sight of millions of stately king penguins are absolutely unforgettable.
