South Georgia and Antarctica sit within a dazzlingly beautiful region of the world, with gleaming stretches of unspoiled snow and glossy, ice-speckled seas. On this incredible AE Expeditions adventure, you’ll be taken to the wintery depths of these remote islands to discover their dramatic coves, icebergs, and rugged mountain scenery – not to mention their abundance of wildlife!
Following an overnight stay in Ushuaia, Argentina, and some free time in Tierra del Fuego, embark the majestic Greg Mortimer ship to kickstart your voyage. Settle into your cabin as you venture across Drake Passage Crossing towards Antarctic Peninsula, Elephant Island, South Georgia and eventually the Falklands. The nature of your days at each location is up to you, with expert guides on board tailoring your itinerary to suit your interests. Join a variety of fascinating Zodiac excursions to offshore islands and hidden coves in search of penguin colonies, or leave the ship and explore the islands on foot. You can wander the pebbled beaches or climb the mountains to vantage points to witness breath-taking views across the Southern Ocean.
There’s plenty to keep you entertained back on board, too. Within its grandeur, Greg Mortimer contains a whole host of modern features, including a relaxing lounge and an open sundeck. There’s also a generously stocked library, a lecture room where you’ll gain engaging insight into all the places you visit, along with a gym, a sauna and spa facilities.
