South Georgia Island tours can be windy and wet. We recommend wearing warm layers, including wind and waterproof top layers, a hat and gloves. You will also get our signature Poseidon Expeditions parka, which will keep you warm when you visit South Georgia and is yours to keep.
The best time for Antarctic cruises is during the austral summer (November to February). Many places we plan to visit require stabile weather and sea conditions (like Elephant Island). Itineraries may change due to unfavorable weather. Antarctic Circle, peninsula and South Georgia expeditions cross the infamous Drake Passage, which tends to be calmer during December and January.
