Falkland Islands - South Georgia - Elephant Island - Antarctica - Polar Circle - 23 days
About this trip
This epic voyage brings together all the great (sub-)Antarctic highlights in a single journey, with spectacular landing sites on the Falkland Islands and encounters with black-browed albatrosses and rockhopper penguins. Over the course of the trip you may meet at least six different penguin species while crossing from the sub-Antarctic into the true Antarctic Polar Region.
As you travel through the transition zone, you witness how a drop of just a few degrees transforms the colours and character of the landscape, and shapes which animals and plants thrive on each side of the Antarctic Convergence. The cruise also includes four days on South Georgia, with its tens of thousands of king penguins and chicks, sea lions, elephant seals and wandering albatrosses, making it an unforgettable polar expedition.
All (sub-)Antarctic highlights in one voyage, with spectacular landing sites on the Falkland Islands and encounters with black-browed albatrosses and rockhopper pinguins. You'll have the chance to meet at least six different penguin species. You'll explore the transition from the sub-Antarctic to the Antarctic Polar Region, experiencing how the drop in temperature can make a huge impact on the colours of the surrounding landscapes; from the warmer tones of the sub-Antarctic side to the icy rugged beauty of the true Antarctic. Witness how those few degrees of difference in the transition zone can make the difference between an animal or plant species choosing to live on one side of the Antarctic Convergence (the Polar Front) or the other. This cruise includes also four days on South Georgia, probably the most beautiful place on earth. Be prepared for ten thousands of king penguins and their chicks, sea lions on the beaches, elephant seals, wandering albatrosses and
