Cruises visiting South Orkney Islands

31 upcoming Antarctic expeditions with South Orkney Islands on the route, from $10,700 per person.

The South Orkneys are a lonely, ice-bound archipelago between South Georgia and the Peninsula, visited as a wild stop on Scotia Sea crossings. Over 85% glaciated, they feel more Antarctic than the Peninsula itself.

Landings — ice permitting — bring Adélie and chinstrap colonies and a visit to Orcadas, the world's oldest continuously operating Antarctic station.
