Travel in the wake of the world’s greatest explorers, including Magellan, Darwin, Drake, de Gerlache and Shackleton, on this voyage to the far southern reaches of the world. While the itinerary in Antarctica is flexible to account for changing weather and ice conditions, planned destinations include King George Island, Paradise Bay, Deception Island and Lemaire Channel.

We also call at Elephant Island, where Sir Ernest Shackleton’s men sought refuge; spectacularly scenic South Georgia, Shackleton’s final resting place; the South Orkney Islands, with their profusion of penguins and petrels; and the isolated Falkland Islands. Throughout our voyage, we’ll benefit from the insight and expertise of our onboard expedition leader, guest lecturers and accompanying naturalists.

On this voyage, our special lecturers are Peter Hillary (son of Sir Edmund Hillary), Dave Hahn (10 successful ascents of Mt. Everest, and Art Wolfe (noted wildlife photographer).

NOTE: While at South Georgia, a special optional expedition will be arranged to trek the route followed by Sir Ernest Shackleton across the island in his amazing journey to rescue his men.
