Contrasting the fascinating history and overwhelming wildlife populations of the Sub-Antarctic with the awesome beauty and strikingly different wildlife of Antarctica itself - the ultimate Antarctic expedition
The journey begins sailing east to the Falklands with its large population of rockhopper and Magellanic penguins along with black-browed albatross. The historic side of the islands is also explored before the ship sails on to South Georgia. Ernest Shackelton - the greatest Antarctic Explorer - is buried here next to the spectacular ice-crowned mountains. The ship threads its way through magical fjords to Salisbury Plain and Gold Harbour, places so remote that they have evolved into astonishing wildlife havens boasting a 100,000-plus population of king penguins and chicks on their beaches - the greatest wildlife spectacle in earth. The island also supports significant populations of elephant and fur seals. The voyage continues to the South Orkney Islands and then enters an enchanted world of icebergs and ice-covered mountains approaching the bays and channels of the Antarctic Peninsula.

Responsible Travel
We take extremely seriously our responsibility to minimise our impact on these pristine areas. Exodus is a Full Member of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) and has agreed to abide by one of the tourism world's most conscientious codes of conduct.

However, perhaps the single most important thing any polar travel company can do, is educate their clients to travel sensitively and compassionately. Our expedition team on each ship takes this part of their role very seriously, and looks forward to explaining how everyone can play their part.
