Head to beautiful ice-filled waters where magnificent icebergs creak, penguins roost in their thousands and breaching minke and humpback whales swim gracefully by on a Falkland Islands & Antarctic Peninsula cruise in the comfort of a boutique expedition ship. Kick off your intrepid voyage in Argentina's buzzing cosmopolitan capital, Buenos Aires and wander the intriguing barrios. Your journey to the White Continent continues via the island communities of The Falklands before heading to the frozen Antarctic Peninsula where you discover mesmerising icy scenes. After a couple of weeks of polar exploration, you pull into Ushuaia at the bottom of the world, where you will have experienced the awe-inspiring beauty of some of the planet's most unique landscapes.
DAY
1: BUENOS AIRES Argentina’s
cosmopolitan capital is known as "The Paris of South America". But this
metropolis is as much about its neighbourhoods (barrios) and cafe
culture. Each district has its own character - none more so than
colourful and lively La Boca, where tango dancers perform in the
streets. Ships dock into the regenerated waterfront barrio Puerto
Madero. Be sure to also visit the handsome district of Recoleta, famous
for the cemetery where Eva “Evita” Peron is buried.
DAY
2-4: DAY AT SEA Sea
days are rarely dull. Take the time to sit back and let the world go
by. The ship’s observation decks provide stunning views of
the passing ocean. A day at sea gives you the opportunity to mingle
with other passengers and share your experiences of this incredible
trip or head to our library which is stocked full of reference books.
Get an expert’s view in one of our on-board lectures or
perhaps perfect your photography skills with invaluable advice from our
onboard professional photographers.
DAY
5: SAUNDERS ISLAND Black-browed
albatross soar above this rugged weather-beaten island in the west of
the Falklands, while Commerson’s dolphins swim below. With a
sparse population of people and sheep, this inhabited island is also
home to fur seals, burrowing rockhopper penguins, magellanic penguins
and imperial cormorants who roost in the jagged cliffs and the striking
Cliff Mountain towering above the dramatic coastal scenery. As you hike
across the moss, keep an eye open for pink-petalled Felton’s
flowers.

DAY
6: PORT STANLEY Anyone
familiar with Britain’s trademark red post boxes might spot a
resemblance in this British outpost. Port Stanley, on East Falkland, is
the tiny capital of the Falkland Islands and is small enough to get
around on foot. You can visit The Historic Dockyard Museum devoted to
maritime history and exploration or pop into the post office.
Magellanic penguins gather in hordes at nearby Gypsy Cove, and sea
lions and dolphins frolic in the harbour.

7-8: DAY AT SEA Days
at sea are the perfect chance to relax, unwind and do whatever takes
your fancy. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa,
trying to spot a whale from the deck, reading a chapter or two, or
simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance
to the green days spent exploring on land.
DAY
9-10: SOUTH GEORGIA Often
called the “Galapagos of the Poles”, South Georgia
has a number of landing sites where you get up close to half a million
king penguins or three million breeding pairs of macaroni penguins,
making up the largest population in the world. If you are lucky you
will also see harrumphing elephant seals - from a distance! We also
visit Grytviken, the historic whaling station where legendary British
explorer Ernest Shackleton (1874–1922) is buried.
DAY
11-12: DAY AT SEA Today
as you sail, you’ll bask in the endless comforts of your
ship. From the deck, marvel at the dramatic sea views. Relax with a
nurturing facial treatment or massage in the spa or delve into the
ship’s learning resources. Or, simply take refuge in your
cabin and enjoy the opportunity to rest.
DAY
13-15: ANTARCTIC PENINSULA Among
captivating glaciers, majestic icebergs and snowy islands, the
Antarctic Peninsula is where most visitors to the White Continent will
live out their Antarctica dream. The Antarctic Peninsula, the most
accessible area of the continent, hosts several scientific bases and
some of the most interesting wildlife scenery, such as the extremely
photogenic Lemaire Channel. Shore excursions might include Petermann
Island, where among Adelie penguins, blue-eyed shags and skuas, huge,
lumbering elephant seals haul out.
DAY
16-17: DAY AT SEA Spend
your day at sea enjoying your boutique 5-star ship. Treat yourself to a
spa day, attend an expert-led onboard lecture or enjoy the ocean views
from the deck or the comfort of our Observation Lounge.
DAY
18: USHUAIA Nestled
in the foothills of the snow-capped Martial Range, Ushuaia’s
colourful streets and mismatched buildings cascade from the imposing
mountains before coming to an abrupt halt at the shores of the Beagle
Channel. As one of the world’s southernmost cities, Ushuaia
carries its ‘end of the world’ reputation well. The
moody weather and dramatic surroundings certainly help. Board your
boutique ship before departing for your journey through one of the most
captivating wilderness regions of the world.
Making her maiden voyage in April 2022, our 5 star elegant Scandi-design boutique ship offers you an intimate setting from which you will be fully immersed in all the sights and scenery of your voyage.
Our brand new ship has been designed to journey to off the beaten path destinations and remote polar regions in style and comfort. The ship incorporates a PC5 ice-strengthened hull combined with extra-large stabilisers to make your journey as smooth as possible.
