Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Antarctica
Tour Description
Embark on an unforgettable 18-day expedition, exploring the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, the South Shetland Islands, and the Antarctic Peninsula.
First, explore the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), a unique blend of British culture and wild landscapes, where penguins roam alongside sheep on former battlefields. Next, venture to South Georgia, a breathtaking island of glacier-clad mountains and rich wildlife. Here, thousands of King Penguins, elephant seals, and Antarctic fur seals fill the shores, while albatrosses soar above.
Continuing south, explore the Antarctic Peninsula, entering the famous Gerlache Strait, where dramatic ice cliffs and towering peaks rise from the icy waters. The landscape is a pristine wilderness of glaciers, snowfields, and icebergs, teeming with wildlife and unforgettable scenery.
Aboard the Ocean Victory, with just 175 guests, you'll enjoy a more intimate experience. Participate in shore landings and Zodiac safaris, while the onboard Expedition Team offers expert lectures and insights to enrich your journey. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in one of the most remote and pristine regions of the world.
