South Georgia is, for many expedition staff, the most extraordinary place on Earth — beaches carpeted with hundreds of thousands of king penguins, elephant seals sprawled among the tussock, and the grave of Sir Ernest Shackleton at Grytviken.

This voyage links it with the Falklands' rockhopper and albatross colonies and finishes in the ice of the Peninsula. It involves several sea days, so it rewards travellers who love the ocean itself: the birds, the swell, the long light on deck.
