Itinerary

Show All

Day 1: Day 1
Arrive in Ushuaia Airport (USH) and make your own way to the pier in Ushuaia, ready for embarkation in the afternoon. We recommend arriving into Ushuaia the night before, to allow for any flight delays. You will be met at the pier and will board the MV Magellan in the early afternoon. There will be plenty of time to settle into your cabin before the important safety briefings on board. Enjoy time out on deck as the ship sails through the Beagle Channel, towards South Gerogia.
Day 2: Day 2
As we sail toward South Georgia, our historians and naturalist guides offer a series of presentations, preparing you for your upcoming landings.
Day 3: Day 3
There will be plenty of time to socialise in the ship's lounge or out on deck, spotting the passing wildlife.
Day 4: Day 4
More time at sea to prepare for your upcoming landings on magnificent South Georgia. The briefings on board will guide you through the endemic wildlife and the incredible history of the region.
Day 5: Day 5
The island of South Georgia is a diverse landscape of majestic mountains, massive glaciers, grassy uplands and deep fjords. Over the next four days, there will be plenty of opportunity to uncover all that the island has to offer, including the wildlife havens of Salisbury Plain and St Andrew's Bay, where Kings can be seen in their thousands.
Day 6: Day 6
South Georgia is steeped in polar history and you will be able to visit the former whaling outpost of Grytviken, where you may pay your respects at the simple grave of Ernest Shackleton. At Cooper Island, the nesting home of thousands of black-browed albatrosses, see a large colony of macaroni penguins. If the weather is favourable, visits are also planned at Fortuna Bay, Salisbury Plains, Prion Island, and Elsehul Bay.
Day 7: Day 7
This isolated island also supports substancial populations of fur and elephant seals which can be seen hauling out onto the beach. The wildlife found here will certainly not disappoint and for those who like to spend their time behind the lens, South Georgia is often referred to as a photographer's paradise and you will very quickly understand why.

Sail along ice-filled fjords and among spectacular icebergs, while enjoying the company of sea birds, penguins, seals and whales.
