Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica
Sail to the wildlife capital of the Southern Ocean.
Our South Georgia and Falklands cruises reveal vast penguin colonies, historic whaling stations and dramatic glaciated landscapes — the ultimate adventure for Antarctic explorers. Longer than regular Peninsula expeditions, voyages are often up to 20 days and combine Antarctica with the Sub-Antarctic islands for a comprehensive adventure. See amazing islands combining the wildlife of Antarctica with the heritage of human exploration. You’ll encounter tens of thousands of penguins, watch elephant seals bask on beaches, and visit historic sites connected to Sir Ernest Shackleton. Every landing offers cinematic scenery and incredible photographic opportunities.
