Voyage Overview

21-day all-inclusive Antarctica, Falklands, and South Georgia Expedition Cruise with round-trip flights from Santiago de Chile

Voyage Highlights

Wild islands of adventure

We’ll sail from Chile to explore the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, both Important Bird Areas teeming with wildlife. Falklands offers windswept beauty, while South Georgia features alpine landscapes, penguin colonies, fur seals, and abandoned whaling stations. Your Expedition Team will assess and adapt to the local weather conditions and ensure you have a truly unforgettable adventure.

An Antarctic expedition

Next up is incomparable Antarctica, the Seventh Continent. Every day that we explore the Antarctic Peninsula, our route and landings are guided by nature. In October and November, penguins start courting and nesting. In December and January, penguin chicks are adorable sights in the longer, milder days. Come February and March, more whales visit the polar waters and penguin chicks start to moult their down feathers.
