Cruising in the Antarctic

ANTARCTIC PENINSULA
ANTARCTIC PENINSULA
Follow in the footsteps of the great explorers who once dreamed of conquering the mysterious White Continent. In a landscape that is as beautiful as it is forbidding, gaze in awe at towering icebergs painted in shades of white and blue, saw-toothed mountains and incredible wildlife including unimaginably large penguin rookeries, inquisitive seals and huge whales breaching from the icy, pond-like, waters.

SOUTH GEORGIA
SOUTH GEORGIA
South Georgia is considered by many to be the pinnacle of a trip to the Antarctic region. It is home to many marvels including the grave of Sir Ernest Shackleton, historic whaling stations, towering snow-covered mountains, extensive beaches and low lying grassland which attracts an astounding concentration of wildlife including a huge colony of king penguins, impressive elephant seals and the spectacular wandering albatross.

FALKLAND ISLANDS
FALKLAND ISLANDS
Enjoy biological diversity and extraordinary scenery where penguins and albatross are abundant and nest on the rugged coastline carved by the wild seas of the South Atlantic. The distinctly British capital of Stanley has quaint cottages, local pubs, a post office and opportunities to mingle with the hardy locals whose colourful houses provide a sharp contrast to the grey seas that surround them. Voyages often include two or three days here.
