South Georgia, Falklands & Antarctic Odyssey
Personalized Service
Let our experienced travel advisors plan your perfect adventure

The South Georgia & Antarctic Odyssey is an unforgettable journey through some of the world’s most pristine and remote regions. The expedition begins with a voyage across the Southern Ocean, visiting South Georgia, often referred to as the "Serengeti of the Southern Ocean" due to its abundant wildlife. Here, you’ll encounter vast colonies of king penguins, elephant seals, and fur seals, as well as historic sites like Grytviken, the resting place of Sir Ernest Shackleton. Continuing to the Antarctic Peninsula, you'll be greeted by towering icebergs, dramatic landscapes, and diverse wildlife, including humpback whales, leopard seals, and bustling penguin rookeries.

On this comprehensive journey, you’ll enjoy Zodiac excursions, guided shore landings, and lectures from expert expedition leaders who provide insights into the region’s ecology, geology, and history. The near-constant daylight during the Antarctic summer allows for extended exploration, whether cruising among icebergs, hiking snow-covered ridges, or witnessing whales feeding in the nutrient-rich waters. This expedition combines thrilling adventure with the serenity of the polar wilderness, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the untouched beauty of South Georgia and Antarctica.
