Antarctica & South Georgia: Sail & Fly the Drake Passage | Silver Endeavour Expedition Ship

Follow the remarkable route from Puerto Williams to South Georgia and Antarctica on a 15-day, 14-night expedition aboard Silver Endeavour, departing October 23, 2028. Beginning along the Beagle Channel, your voyage crosses the South Atlantic toward South Georgia, where immense king penguin colonies, elephant seals, fur seals, and wandering albatrosses inhabit beaches framed by snow-covered mountains. Discover the historical significance of Grytviken, visit its former whaling station, museum, and church, and honor Sir Ernest Shackleton at his gravesite. Weather permitting, explore remarkable coastal locations such as Salisbury Plain, St. Andrews, and Fortuna Bay before continuing south toward Antarctica. At Elephant Island, revisit the dramatic survival story of Shackleton's crew and potentially approach Point Wild by Zodiac. Three full days in the Antarctic Peninsula bring opportunities for shore landings and Zodiac exploration among immense icebergs, glaciers, penguin colonies, seals, and humpback whales, with possible visits to Paradise Bay, Lemaire Channel, Port Lockroy, and Petermann Island. After a final day in the South Shetland Islands, potentially including Deception Island's volcanic caldera, conclude your expedition with a flight from King George Island to Punta Arenas, avoiding a second Drake Passage crossing by sea.
