LODGING
Explore South Georgia Aboard the Pelagic 77 ‘Amundsen’
The Ultimate Expedition Yacht for High-Latitude Exploration
Most ships are too large or limited to reach South Georgia’s most remote and dramatic coastlines. That’s why we sail aboard the Pelagic 77 Amundsen — one of the most advanced expedition yachts ever built.
Designed by Tony Castro in collaboration with Skip Novak and Nicolás Ibáñez, Amundsen was engineered specifically for high-latitude exploration — with twin masts, manual sail systems, and an aluminum hull built to handle Antarctic conditions safely and sustainably.
This is not a cruise ship. It’s a purpose-built expedition platform that lets us anchor in sheltered coves, reach more landings, and navigate remote areas with autonomy, comfort, and safety.
