Epic Antarctica: Crossing the Circle via Falklands and South Georgia

Our Epic Antarctica voyage is called so for a reason-it includes all of the major Antarctic highlights you can imagine. From the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) to South Georgia to the Antarctic Peninsula, you will have countless unforgettable moments on this adventure-packed, 23-day voyage. Start with the Falklands, reminiscent of both sandy Cape Cod and the English moors, home to albatross, dolphins, and five species of penguins. From there, venture to South Georgia where you’ll enter the home of 300,000 breeding king penguins, 50 million other seabirds and 5 million seals. Then, explore the stunning Antarctic Peninsula, and finally cross the Antarctic Circle-a significant milestone for any world traveler.Starting in 2021, this itinerary allows you to the opportunity to experience our pioneering new vessel, Ultramarine.
