Falklands & South Georgia

Our epic adventure begins in Ushuaia, where we board the deluxe expedition cruise ship M/V Sea Spirit for the adventure of a lifetime! We'll sail the legendary waters of the Southern Ocean, bustling with iconic marine mammals.

Dive into the wildlife paradise of South Georgia Island, marvel at dramatic seascapes and explore the pristine wilderness, swarming with incredible king penguin colonies, raucous fur seals, jousting elephant seals and an abundance of seabirds.
