ANTARCTIC, FALKLANDS AND SOUTH GEORGIA
Antarctic, Falklands And South Georgia Cruise Trip
Overview
For those who can afford the time, this 20 day cruise combining The Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica is the ultimate trip in terms of sheer variety and 'wow' factor, and without fail annually attracts glowing reports from all past travellers.
The Falkland Islands are home to an astonishing and very tame diversity of wildlife, with a strong historical element and are a great 'starter'. South Georgia on the other hand is altogether different and harsher, with 7000ft towering mountains, glaciers and beaches. Experience the extraordinary king and gentoo penguin colonies numbering into the millions, marvel at the acrobatics of the wandering albatross and observe beaches crowded with elephant seals and Macaroni penguins.
The history of the great explorers from the 'heroic era' reverberates through this trip as you depart South Georgia, final resting place of Shackleton and head for Antarctica itself, the magical white continent and a wonderful end to this extraordinary trip.
Frequent departures from October to March throughout the Austral summer.
