Depart
Embark: Ushuaia, Argentina
Disembark: Ushuaia, Argentina
Destinations: South Georgia (Fortuna Bay, Salisbury Plain, St Andrews Bay, Gold Harbour, Grytviken), the South Sandwich Islands, Queen Maud Land and Neuschwabenland, the deep Weddell Sea (the Filchner-Ronne and Brunt Ice Shelves, the Luitpold Coast, Vahsel Bay and the Larsen Ice Shelf), and Elephant Island and the northern Antarctic Peninsula
Ship: Ortelius
Duration: 28 days
Ortelius is one of few expedition ships with its own helipad and hangar. On select itineraries, scenic flights lift you over pack ice impassable by Zodiac, opening access to remote emperor penguin colonies and vast tabular bergs. Every passenger is given a window seat — a rare, sweeping perspective on the frozen continent.
Aboard a sturdy inflatable, you sit just above the waterline as your guide noses among brash ice and towering bergs. It is the closest encounter with the polar world, seals hauled out nearby, a whale surfacing, the deep quiet broken only by cracking ice.
Explore remote landscapes on foot, with guided hikes available for all ability levels—from relaxed walks to more challenging routes for experienced hikers.
