South Georgia and Antarctica: Penguin Safari itinerary is the fastest way to get to the seldom-visited South Georgia Island while also setting foot on the 7th continent. Photograph massive albatross and beautiful pintado petrels as they swoop and soar around the ship, guiding the Ocean Explorer toward South Georgia. Beaches teeming with king penguins and elephant seals greet the passengers on this fabled island. Antarctica awaits, with its soaring peaks and staggering expanse. Go further into the Antarctic sea on a Zodiac, experience the rugged peninsula from a sea kayak, undertake an exhilarating hike up a sparkling glacier, or share an endearingly comical moment with an inquisitive gentoo, chinstrap and Adélie penguin. In these ways and countless others, Antarctica will amaze, surprise and delight.
