In-Depth Antarctica, Falklands & South Georgia Expedition

- Be immersed in diverse landscapes, from the lush green hills of the Falklands and the alpine landscapes of South Georgia, to the to the iceberg-studded seas of Antarctica
You’ll spend five days exploring the unique world of Antarctica. Throughout the austral summer season, its icescapes and wildlife undergo constant change. There is more snow during the late austral spring months (in October and November), when penguins begin courting and nesting. In January, the first penguin chicks hatch while February and March are peak whale watching months as the adorable penguin chicks start waddling around. Whatever the season, you’ll join the Expedition Team on landings, during ice cruising, and much more.
From their windswept green hills and white sand beaches, rugged beauty and charm abound in the Falkland Islands. On South Georgia, the beaches are packed with seals, penguins, and seabirds. In true expedition style, our itineraries are not set in stone, giving us the freedom to choose the best experiences according to local wind and sea ice conditions.
