South Georgia & Antarctic Peninsula cruise

South Georgia is without doubt an island of incomparable beauty. The northern flanks of the island comprise of a series of harbours that once sheltered large fleets of whaling ships and are now home to a staggering variety and profusion of wildlife. Combine this with time to explore the natural wonders of the Falklands, the Orkneys, the Shetlands and the spectacular Antarctic Peninsula and you have the essence of this remarkable voyage.

Four days are spent in South Georgia, visiting rookeries with literally thousands of King, Macaroni and Rockhopper Penguins. Our voyage continues to the Sub-Antarctic Islands, visiting the South Orkney Islands en route and attempting to land on the wild and spectacular Elephant Island.

Exploring the western flanks of Antarctica Peninsula provides a further highlight and, as with our other voyages to the Antarctic, we have time for regular shore excursions to walk among the many penguins and seals as well as visit scientific stations.18 breakfast, 17 lunches and 18 dinners, specialist expedition staff, comfortable cabin accommodation on cruise, all activities while on cruise including zodiac excursions, lectures, videos, slide and film shows and guide services, use of all ship facilities and public areas, medical services (there is a resident medical officer and infirmary on board)
