Atlas Ocean Voyages has announced that international wildlife expert, conservation ambassador and photographer Ron Magill will accompany World Traveller passengers on an exclusive 16-night expedition to Antarctica and the Falkland Islands, departing on March 13, 2027.
During the trip, Magill will enrich the guests' experience through lectures, nature photography workshops, informal meetings and their participation in certain Zodiac excursions and landings, offering a privileged view of one of the most extraordinary ecosystems on the planet and the fauna that inhabits it.
With over 45 years of experience dedicated to wildlife conservation, environmental education and photography, Ron Magill has become one of the most recognized figures in the sector.
He is currently an ambassador for the Zoo Miami Foundation, an ambassador for Nikon USA, and the host of the television program Wild World with Ron Magill. Throughout his career, he has received six Emmy Awards for his outreach work and has traveled throughout Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the polar regions documenting wildlife, supporting conservation projects, and inspiring millions of people to appreciate the natural world.
Magill's participation is part of Atlas Ocean Voyages' commitment to offering expeditions that allow travelers to connect more deeply with the destinations they visit. Through his stories, knowledge, and on-the-ground experience, passengers will gain a better understanding of the polar ecosystems and biodiversity that make these regions unique.
"Luxury expedition travel is about much more than visiting extraordinary places; it's about understanding them," said James A. Rodriguez, president and CEO of Atlas Ocean Voyages.
“Ron Magill has dedicated his entire life to inspiring people to appreciate wildlife through education, conservation, and an extraordinary ability to tell stories. Having him on board the World Traveller offers our guests an exceptional opportunity to discover these destinations from the perspective of one of the world’s leading wildlife experts, while enjoying the close-knit, exclusive atmosphere that characterizes all Atlas expeditions.”
The expedition will depart from Ushuaia, Argentina, and cross the Drake Passage to reach Antarctica, where passengers will explore glaciers, enormous tabular icebergs, and bays inhabited by penguins, seals, and whales. Each day will include Zodiac safaris and guided landings led by the Atlas Ocean Voyages expedition team, offering numerous opportunities to observe wildlife in its natural habitat. The itinerary will also visit the Falkland Islands, home to five species of penguins, as well as rich biodiversity, picturesque settlements, and spectacular coastal landscapes that contrast sharply with the icy Antarctic environment.
Throughout the trip, Ron Magill will offer a full program of exclusive activities that will include:
- Conferences on wildlife and conservation in Antarctica.
- Talks dedicated to the biodiversity of the Falkland Islands.
- Nature photography workshops based on his experience as a Nikon USA ambassador.
- Stories and anecdotes from more than four decades working alongside wild animals around the world.
Conditions permitting, Magill will also accompany some Zodiac departures and landings, helping to interpret wildlife behavior, advising passengers on photography, and sharing his experience directly on the ground.
With a capacity for fewer than 200 passengers, the World Traveller offers an intimate environment that facilitates direct contact with Ron Magill throughout the expedition.
Travelers will be able to chat with him during meals, while observing the wildlife from the deck, during panoramic navigation explanations or on excursions, enjoying a very personalized experience.
"Some of the most valuable lessons about conservation are learned by observing wildlife in its natural habitat," Ron Magill noted.
"Antarctica and the Falkland Islands remain some of the last truly wild places on the planet, and sharing that experience with other explorers aboard a small expedition yacht creates unique opportunities to learn, be inspired, and make memories that will last a lifetime. It is an honor to collaborate with Atlas Ocean Voyages on this extraordinary journey."
The March 13, 2027 departure is available within the Explorer's Choice program, which allows travelers to personalize their experience by choosing from three exclusive benefits, including upgrades to expedition activities and additional travel perks.
In addition, passengers will enjoy Atlas Ocean Voyages' Always Included offer, which includes gourmet dining, unlimited premium drinks, gratuities, L'OCCITANE bath products, specialty coffees, expedition parka and a full program of enrichment activities on board.
