In-depth Antarctica, Falklands & South Georgia Expedition, 7 November 2026 (21 nights)

The peninsular of Punta Arenas is a hugely popular location for those wanting to whale watch either from the rugged coastline or boat trips out to sea. Cruisers stopping by can also enjoy the sanctuary for sea life such as endangered turtles and seahorses, or kayak along the Magellan Straits to spot penguins. Explore the main boulevard and take in the local art gallery, or hit the duty free area for fantastic souvenirs.

A stunning scenic archipelago situated in the South Atlantic Ocean, the Falkland Islands are among the most remote destinations in the world and a wonderfully unique place to spend any amount of time during a cruise exploring this remarkable region. Known primarily for its rugged landscapes and diverse wildlife, the Falkland Islands are an ideal destination for those seeking outdoor adventures. Here, you’ll find dramatic coastlines with white-sand beaches, rolling hills largely untouched by humans, and several species of penguin, seabird, and seal to admire. Beyond this, almost all of the islands’ land area is used as pasture for sheep; so, you’ll certainly have no trouble spotting some of those when you go exploring. Interestingly, much of the culture and cuisine you’ll encounter when visiting the Falkland Islands has been influenced by the United Kingdom, as the islands themselves do not have an indigenous population. This can make places like Port Stanley – the capital of the Falkland Islands and home to around 70% of the population – feel very familiar. Although, with stunning white-sand beaches, breathtaking untouched landscapes, and fascinating wildlife you certainly won’t find in Britain, the Falkland Islands should be on everyone’s must-visit list.

A stunning remote island in the South Atlantic Ocean, South Georgia Island is a fascinating port of call on sailings through this spectacular region – and beyond to Antarctica. It lies roughly 850 miles east of the Falkland Islands, and forms part of the British Overseas Territory of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. When visiting, you’ll encounter a breathtaking, barren landscape that’s home to some fascinating wildlife. Discovered by Europeans in 1675, this island doesn’t have a native population, and the only inhabitants you’ll find here today – outside several species of birds, seals, and penguins – are those in King Edward Point: a permanent British Antarctic Survey research station near Grytviken. A remarkable destination on sailings through the South Atlantic Ocean and beyond, the staggering scenery you’ll encounter here is worth getting excited about; although, it’s hard to deny that the wildlife found on South Georgia Island steals the show. This island is a breeding ground for elephant seals, fur seals, and king penguins, alongside South Georgia pintail and South Georgia pipit – two species of birds endemic to this remote island.

One of the most unique, and most remote, destinations in the world, Antarctica is a truly sensational place to visit for anyone with an explorer’s itch to scratch. Here, you’re in for a truly unforgettable cruise experience, with breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife sightings, and more to look forward to while sailing the icy waters surrounding this spectacular place. A dramatic destination that belongs to no one nation, somewhere that’s simultaneously the world’s largest desert and the world’s largest ice sheet, even spending just a minute in Antarctica's presence is a monumentally profound experience and something you won’t forget anytime soon – even if you're spending your time cruising comfortably aboard your cruise ship.
