Antarctica
Explore the Edge of the Far South
In the wind and open waters of the Southern Ocean, hundreds of thousands of king penguins gather and breed along the beaches of South Georgia, while glaciers descend from mountain valleys into the sea and seals and seabirds move among drifting ice. The voyage begins among the grasslands and sea cliffs of the Falkland Islands Islas Malvinas, continues through the extraordinary wildlife concentrations of South Georgia, and culminates on the ice bound shores of the Antarctic Peninsula.

In the wind and open waters of the Southern Ocean, hundreds of thousands of king penguins gather and breed along the beaches of South Georgia, while glaciers descend from mountain valleys into the sea and seals and seabirds move among drifting ice. The voyage begins among the grasslands and sea cliffs of the Falkland Islands Islas Malvinas, continues through the extraordinary wildlife concentrations of South Georgia, and culminates on the ice bound shores of the Antarctic Peninsula. By linking three distinct Antarctic regions in a single journey, it reveals the natural progression from the sub-Antarctic to the Seventh Continent. Traveling early in the season, when darkness has not yet fully given way to continuous daylight, offers shifting light and long horizons that invite deeper observation and photography, capturing the polar world at its most elemental and alive.
• A rare Southern Ocean journey linking the Falkland Islands Islas Malvinas, South Georgia, and the Antarctic Peninsula in one continuous voyage.
• Follow the legacy of Sir Ernest Shackleton, experiencing the Southern Ocean landscapes that shaped one of the greatest stories of endurance, leadership, and survival in polar exploration.
• Walk among Magellanic penguins in the Falklands (Islas Malvinas), where wildlife and island history meet on windswept shores.
• Stand in the heart of South Georgia’s king penguin colonies, with hundreds of thousands of birds covering glacial beaches and grassy plains, and early season chicks adding life and movement to the scene.
• Navigate ice filled waters of the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula, surrounded by towering glaciers, drifting icebergs, and snow covered peaks.
• Travel early in the season, when soft dawn and evening light still shape the polar day, creating exceptional conditions for photography and wildlife observation.
