South Georgia and the Falkland Islands are among the greatest wildlife destinations on earth, a remote and spectacular sub-Antarctic realm of vast penguin colonies, glaciers and windswept beauty in the far reaches of the South Atlantic. Often combined with an Antarctic voyage, they offer some of the most extraordinary and moving expedition cruising anywhere on the planet.
South Georgia is a place of staggering natural abundance, where beaches teem with hundreds of thousands of king penguins and elephant seals, glaciers tumble from jagged peaks, and the air is filled with wheeling albatross. Steeped too in the history of exploration and whaling, it is a landscape of overwhelming grandeur and poignancy.
The Falkland Islands, further west, offer a gentler but equally rich wilderness of white beaches, tussock-covered islands and abundant wildlife, including several species of penguin, albatross and sea lions. Sheltered anchorages and remarkable wildlife encounters reward exploration throughout.
Ashore, the region offers profound wilderness, extraordinary wildlife and a warm welcome in its tiny settlements. Its remote beauty is exceptional.
With their vast wildlife colonies, glaciers and remote beauty, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands are a sub-Antarctic wonder. Guests can walk among hundreds of thousands of penguins, cruise beneath tumbling glaciers and experience the overwhelming natural abundance of the far South Atlantic.
