This voyage takes you deep into the sub-Antarctic world, beginning with the remote Falkland Islands before continuing to the wildlife-rich shores of South Georgia. Over 20 days, you’ll explore rugged coastlines, sweeping beaches, and pristine wilderness shaped by wind, sea, and thriving animal colonies.
Expect close encounters with vast penguin rookeries, fur and elephant seals, and soaring seabirds — especially on South Georgia, often called the “Galápagos of the Southern Ocean.” Zodiac cruises and shore landings bring you face-to-face with dramatic landscapes, while your expedition team adapts each day to the best wildlife and weather opportunities.
Aboard your expedition vessel, enjoy comfortable cabins, panoramic lounges, daily briefings, and expertly guided excursions. With extended time in both the Falklands and South Georgia, this itinerary is designed for travellers seeking true immersion in some of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife regions.
