Journey through three extraordinary worlds

Travel from the Falkland Islands to South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula, each revealing a different chapter in the story of the Southern Ocean.

Cross the Antarctic Circle

Few Antarctic voyages venture beyond latitude 66°33′ south. Conditions permitting, celebrate crossing the Antarctic Circle as nearly continuous summer daylight, towering icebergs, and the growing influence of sea ice signal your arrival in one of the planet's most seldom-visited regions. More than a geographic milestone, it is a powerful reminder of the scale, beauty, and wildness of the Antarctic.

Experience one of Earth's greatest wildlife spectacles

Follow the rich waters of the Southern Ocean from the Falkland Islands to South Georgia and Antarctica, where abundant marine life supports immense colonies of penguins, breeding seabirds, seals, and whales. Crossing the Antarctic Convergence reveals how changing ocean conditions sustain one of the world's most productive and interconnected ecosystems.
