South Georgia In Depth Expedition Micro Cruise

South Georgia before the crowds arrive. When frost still holds the coast, elephant seal bulls are locked in battle on the beaches, and the island carries that rare charge. Wild enough to overwhelm, quiet enough to absorb. This is a dedicated 15-day expedition to South Georgia, not a stop between destinations but a journey devoted entirely to one of the world's greatest wildlife sanctuaries. With an aim for eight days exploring the island, you'll have the luxury of time to discover its spectacular coastline, historic landing sites, dramatic mountain scenery, and extraordinary abundance of wildlife at a pace few expeditions can match. 36 guests. Six senior polar guides. One purpose-built expedition vessel with active fin stabilisers and hybrid propulsion for the Southern Ocean crossing. Every landing decided by conditions and opportunity, not by a printed schedule. - South Georgia as the destination, not a stop. - Early-season timing. - Eight full days on the island.
