9 nights · 10. March - 19. March 2027 · King George Island → Puerto Williams
Nine nights carry Silver Wind from King George Island across the Antarctic Peninsula back to Puerto Williams. In late summer the penguin chicks are largely fledged, humpback whales frequent in Wilhelmina Bay and the light stretches far into the evening. The Drake Passage forms the homeward leg, often under the wings of albatrosses and petrels. Silver Wind Expedition is ice-strengthened to 1A Super and works in small Zodiac groups under IAATO standards.

The Antarctic Peninsula is the heart of every Antarctic voyage: glaciers calve directly into the sea, humpback whales swim between drifting ice floes, penguin colonies of tens of thousands populate the rocky shores. Zodiac excursions take you right up to ice walls and sleeping seals.
The South Shetland Islands are an Antarctic archipelago with active volcanism, vast penguin colonies and international research stations. Deception Island with its volcanic crater harbour is one of the most impressive landings in Antarctica.
