Antarctica remains the ultimate, most glorious frontier for exploration and discovery on our planet. Almost alien in immensity, it is a continent of volcanoes, glaciers, islands, and oceans. It is the most elemental wilderness, where the naked might of Nature assaults the senses as in no other place on Earth.

Any trip to Antarctica is a mind-blowing experience due to the incredible wildlife spectacles, the scenery, and simply the realization that you’re actually heading to one of the most remote parts of the world. Whether you’re interested in pelagic birding, seeing penguins up close, watching whales and dolphins slip through the water, or simply exploring a new and mysterious continent, there will be something special waiting for you aboard the ship. We invite you to join us for this exploration of the Antarctic Peninsula and the distinctive island destinations of South Georgia and the Falklands, both remarkable wildlife havens, aboard a stable expedition cruise ship outfitted for comfortable living as well as rugged zodiac landings.

Field Guides offers this tour as a partnership with Oceanwide Expeditions, a Dutch company that specializes in oceanic voyages to polar regions. Your Field Guides leader will work with the Oceanwide staff to tailor this experience to maximize your birding and wildlife-watching opportunities. Oceanwide’s details about our cruise can be found online here.
