Epic in name and nature, this 23-day expedition combines all of Antarctica’s greatest highlights in one unforgettable journey. Begin in the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), where windswept landscapes host albatross, dolphins and bustling penguin colonies. Continue to South Georgia, known as the “Serengeti of the Southern Ocean,” where more than 300,000 king penguins, millions of seabirds and countless seals create one of the planet’s most extraordinary wildlife spectacles. Then venture to the Antarctic Peninsula, with its towering glaciers, dramatic bays and rich history of exploration.
