Highlights you might experience
Explore the last true wilderness of our planet on foot, and absorb the beauty of the polar regions at your own pace
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
These hygienic divers are the only penguin species whose population is currently increasing along the Antarctic Peninsula
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 Plancius
Our most longstanding vessel, Plancius is a classic choice for some of our most popular polar voyages.
