Antarctica, South Georgia & the Falklands
ABOARD AN
EXPEDITION CRUISE VESSEL
Experience three epic destinations of the Southern Ocean: the wildlife oasis of the
Falkland Islands, breathtaking South Georgia Island, with its legends of Shackleton and
spectacular colonies of stately king penguins, and the celebrated Antarctic Peninsula,
a dazzling realm of glistening glaciers and towering peaks rising straight from the sea.
On this expedition cruise, set out for adventures by go-anywhere Zodiacs amid drifting
bergs, hike on remote shores thronged with chattering penguins and basking elephant
seals, and learn from expert naturalists who illuminate the dream world of the Antarctic.
DAYS 1-7 USHUAIA / FALKLAND ISLANDS
From Ushuaia,
voyage to the rugged Falklands, where you enjoy encounters with
Magellanic penguins, nesting gentoos in their burrows, and dashing
rockhopper penguins, with their teeming cliff colonies and devil-
may-care surf landings.
DAYS 8-11 SOUTH GEORGIA ISLAND
Towering South
Georgia is a spectacular sight, sheering out of the Southern Ocean in
wondrous isolation. More than a hundred glaciers flow from its spine
of mountains to the sea and it’s a virtual oasis for sub-Antarctic
wildlife. Walk black-sand beaches among basking elephant seals and
hundreds of thousands of king penguins, look for nesting albatross
and breeding colonies of fur seals, and visit the evocative grave of the
great explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton at the old Norwegian whaling
station of Grytviken.
DAYS 12-20 SCOTIA SEA / SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS /
ANTARCTIC PENINSULA
Cross the Scotia Sea to the wildlife-
rich Antarctic Peninsula. Walk amid teeming penguin colonies, visit
a research station, explore by Zodiac, and take a bracing dip in the
hot springs at Deception Island. Return to Ushuaia and depart on
Day 20.
