Cruise Description

18 Night Cruise sailing from Ushuaia roundtrip aboard Greg Mortimer. Hotel stay pre-cruise in Ushuaia.

Combine the best of the Antarctic Peninsula and South Georgia on one incredible voyage. Whether it’s peak season or summer’s close, Antarctica offers lively penguin colonies, feeding whales, and unsurpassed adventure activities. Cross the majestic Scotia Sea to visit the world's largest king penguin colonies and for some, follow (on foot or ski) Shackleton’s epic walk across South Georgia.

DAYS 1–3 Enjoy a night in Ushuaia, before a late-afternoon boarding of the Greg Mortimer, to sail the Beagle Channel and Drake Passage.

DAYS 4–7 From South Shetland Islands to southern Gerlache Strait; perhaps even the Weddell Sea, the Antarctic Peninsula is yours to explore.

DAY 8 Zodiac cruise Point Wild, Elephant Island, paying tribute to survival of Shackleton’s men under command of Frank Wild.

DAYS 9–14 Be mesmerised by South Georgia’s vast king penguin
colonies, photogenic fur seals, stunning landscape, and Shackleton’s epic rescue journey. We will attempt to visit remote South Orkney Islands en route to South Georgia.

DAYS 15–18 Spot albatross and whales, cross the Scotia Sea to the Falklands, home to magellanic penguins, sea lion and historic Stanley.

DAY 19 Guided by black-browed albatross and dolphins, we sail to the Beagle Channel, sharing photos and final a dinner with friends.

DAY 20 (or 21) Enjoy breakfast, bid farewell to new friends before disembarking in Ushuaia where your voyage ends.
