Falkland Islands, South Georgia & Antarctica (Ocean Victory)

Twenty days by sea from the world's southernmost city down to the Antarctic Peninsula, taking in South Georgia and the South Shetland Islands along the way. This is a proper expedition voyage aboard an ice-strengthened ship, with an Expedition Team running Zodiac excursions to get you close to the wildlife and landscapes rather than just viewing them from deck.

Expect glaciers, icebergs, and a steady stream of penguins, seals, whales and seabirds, alongside historical stops like the old Grytviken whaling station. The scale of the place is the point here — this is about being somewhere properly remote and letting the itinerary bend to the weather.

Life on board mixes wildlife landings with lectures, a library and a gym for the days when rough seas keep you inside. It suits people who want the real, unpredictable version of Antarctica rather than a fixed schedule.
