Take the ultimate journey, delving deep into Antarctica, South Georgia and Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands. This expedition sets a course for wildlife lovers, with awe-inspiring animals from fur seals to chinstrap and Gentoo penguins among the shores and waters. There is no shortage of incredible fauna as you traverse from icy tundra to fields of tussock grass. Witness the wonder of penguin chicks hatching and being fed by their parents, and the migration of humpback whales amid the Antarctic Peninsula. In South Georgia, the most mesmerizing sight is that of the King penguins, large colonies as far as the eye can see. The fully matured ones stand regal over their brethren while endearing chicks are covered in their downy feather glory. Port Stanley offers the opportunity for an exciting 4×4 adventure to greet the Gentoo penguins of Newans Station. Traverse the ends of the Earth for a truly magnificent, unforgettable experience.

Day 2At SeaDrake Passage Navigation
The Drake Passage leads you from the southernmost region of the Americas to the Antarctic Peninsula, the northern point of The White Continent. This waterway where cold southern ocean meets warm northern sea water creates powerful currents that test your mettle.
But the rewards for the journeyer that braves these waters do not compare. The meeting of warm and cold waters creates an environment that attracts extraordinary wildlife. Drake Passage offers the chance to witness the likes of humpback whales and hourglass dolphins that accompany the voyage. The soundtrack of the 48-hour journey through the Drake Passage includes the crash of the ocean against the ship and the cry of petrels, skuas, and gulls.
While the waterway is famous for its challenging navigation, you may still get another side of the Drake Passage. On some occasions, the channel is calm and tranquil, making for a pleasant voyage into Antarctica. That’s one of the more splendid characteristics of the Drake Passage - you never know what you will get.
As you emerge from the Drake Passage, the mammoth, icy peaks of the South Shetland Islands loom ahead, greeting you on your victorious landing. You have completed the rite of passage to explore the seventh continent.
