Antarctica : South Georgia Explorer

This expedition voyage is perfect for wildlife enthusiasts and anyone with an interest in the history of polar exploration. Focusing solely on the Sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia, this itinerary allows an in-depth exploration that allows plenty of time to experience the abundant polar wildlife, spectacular scenery and historically significant sites for which the island is famed.

Here you will find the largest king penguin rookeries in the world, as well as numerous macaroni penguins, southern elephant seals, fur seals and nesting albatross.

South Georgia also offers the unique opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the heroic polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, retracing part of his route as he crossed the island in search of help to rescue his men following the ill-fated Endurance expedition. A chance to reflect and pay your respects at Shackleton’s final resting place in Grytviken is a rare privilege for any polar enthusiast.
