King George Island, Antartica Cruise Port

Mostly known as a site for remote research, King George Island in Antarctica is a popular destination for cruisers looking to explore the outskirts of the world. On the tip of the ice continent, King George Island offers some of the most stunning glacial views in the world, paired with abundant wildlife and experiences you literally cannot have anywhere else. Continue below for a few of our favorite things to do on an expedition cruise visiting King George Island, Antarctica:

Is that a bird or a plane? On King George Island, it could be both! Only accessible by plane, this incredible and icy port is home to a vast population of penguins and various seabirds.
Imagine a place where “early exploration” is in the 21st century! One of the most notable sites here is the Trinity Church, which was built in 2004 and serves as the spiritual home for researchers who live here.
In Antarctica, one of the favorite things to do is a Zodiac ride through the icy waters. Get up close and personal with expansive glaciers, snap an Instagram-worthy shot of Antarctica mountains and maybe, if you’re lucky, a penguin will hop on for a ride as he escapes a hungry seal.
