All itineraries are for guidance only. Programs may vary depending on ice, weather, and wildlife conditions. Landings are subject to site availabilities, permissions, and environmental concerns per IAATO regulations. Official sailing plans and landing slots are scheduled with IAATO prior to the start of the season, but the expedition leader determines the final plan. Flexibility is paramount for expedition cruises. The average cruising speed for our vessel is 10.5 knots.

Highlights you might experience
Visiting the polar regions is a fantastic adventure, but just below the waves waits an extraordinary other world for you to experience and explore.
One of the largest islands in the Falklands, Saunders Island lies in the northwest of the archipelago and has been farmed since 1948
Contrary to what its name may suggest, Carcass Island is a lively place for viewing breeding Magellanic and gentoo penguins
Thousands of king penguins, hundreds of gentoos, and loads of elephant seals share this awesomely scenic South Georgia bay
Known for its colossal king penguin colony, Salisbury Plain is a longstanding favorite in our South Georgia expeditions
Once hunted nearly into extinction, these pointy-eared polar swimmers are the comeback queens and kings of the Antarctic
These gallant-fighting, deep-diving namesakes of the French-claimed Antarctic Adélie Land are among the four penguin species on mainland Antarctica
They may be Earth's most abundant seal, but their teeth are far from typical and are perhaps the most precisely designed eating tool of any living carnivore
Second in size only to the emperor penguin, these colorful divers look so different than their own chicks that they were once thought to be a different species
These timid feather-shedders are named after the famed Portuguese explorer whose crew spotted them in 1520
m/v Hondius
Hondius is the world’s first-registered Polar Class 6 vessel and was built from the ground up for expedition cruising.
