15 DAYS

A dream expedition

A dream expedition to South Georgia and Antarctica begins in Puerto Williams, the world’s southernmost town. Sail east with Silversea to South Georgia, one of the planet’s greatest wildlife sanctuaries, where vast king penguin and elephant seal colonies sprawl ashore. Cross the legendary Drake Passage to storied Elephant Island — famed for Shackleton’s survival tale — and reach Antarctica, where glaciers slide into the sea, whales flick their tails, and penguin rookeries bustle.

Seamless Experience

We travelled to Antarctica with Atlas Ocean Voyages Feb/Mar 2026. We had a seamless experience throughout the booking process and the cruise itself was amazing and memorable! The smaller ship, with only approximately 140 passengers made the whole experience more personal. We would highly recommend Atlas to anyone thinking about going to Antarctica.

It didn’t matter what time of the day or night, if I had a problem or question Alicia would handle it with professionalism and good humour. Thanks for all your support…it was a fantastic experience for me to step on my 7th continent…let us all preserve this wonderland.
