Antarctica, South Georgia & Falkland Islands from Ushuaia, 15 January 2028 (19 nights)

Nicknamed the “End of the World”, Ushuaia is a charming windswept city on the southernmost tip of South America and an important port of call for cruise adventures to Antarctica. In the heart of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, this port is surrounded by some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world, boasting sensational sightseeing opportunities for everyone who travels here. From vibrant coastal forests and dramatic waterfalls to stunning glaciers and unique polar wildlife, Ushuaia really is somewhere where you’ll be able to bask in the sheer beauty of nature, and soak up some sensational panoramic views from the vantage points found here. This city, though, while being famous for being (arguably) the most southernmost city in the entire world, is also something of a gateway to Antarctica and the smaller islands that make up the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. So, despite being rather quaint in comparison to other Argentinian cities and South American holiday hotspots, what you’re met with in Ushuaia is just a taste of what’s to come – if you’re continuing onto Antarctica, anyway. That doesn’t mean you should be too eager to leave Ushuaia, though, as this port of call does offer a lot more than just breathtaking natural beauty. Ushuaia is also home to a unique collection of museums and some fantastic food; so, while the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the region is a major highlight, this is one destination that will prove to be just as memorable as everything else on your itinerary.

A small island formerly known as Albatross Island, West Point Island is one of the most scenic parts of the Falkland Islands archipelago and a fascinating port of call that is well worth looking forward to. Cruisers after unique landscapes among the Falkland Islands will find that West Point Island is home to the tallest coastal cliffs in the archipelago, and it’s also one of the few islands with trees. This sightseeing is elevated by large colonies of Black-browed albatrosses and rockhopper penguins, both of which frequent this rugged South Atlantic island. You’ll also find a number of other bird species that spend time on West Point Island, including ruddy-headed geese, Cobb’s wrens, white-bridled finches, and Falkland steamer ducks. Commerson’s dolphins are also often spotted in the waters around the island, adding to the impressive wildlife spotting opportunities here. Home to just one family, which runs a sheep farm, this island invites you to leave the world behind and immerse yourself in the untouched wilderness that makes the Falkland Islands such a fascinating destination. West Point Island is stunning, and certainly one port of call you won’t want to miss.

Also known as Stanley, Port Stanley is the capital city of the Falkland Islands and a charming destination to visit during cruises through the South Atlantic Ocean and beyond. Home to roughly 70% of the Falkland Islands’ population, Port Stanley is the place to be if you’re looking to immerse yourself in this archipelago’s unique culture. Without an indigenous population, you’ll find that much of the culture and cuisine in Port Stanley is an amalgamation of British culture and cuisine, with influences from nearby nations, such as Argentina. So, Port Stanley is often described as feeling somewhat similar to a small English or Scottish town – a home away from home, of sorts. However, although exploring the quaint city centre is a fantastic way to spend your time, Port Stanley is also a great starting point for adventures further inland and along the coast. With the chance to enjoy guided nature walks, wildlife spotting, and experiences that invite you to explore this island’s tumultuous history, there’s something for everyone to enjoy here – whether you’re looking to sit and enjoy a freshly-poured pint in one of the local pubs, spot some penguins in their natural habitat, or admire the stunning landscapes found here.

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.
