Antarctic Explorer - Lyubov Orlova
from $7,199*
Amazing Wildlife, Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Islands, The Beagle Channel, Ushuaia
This journey takes us to one of the world's most awe inspiring destinations. With visits along the way through the South Shetland Islands we arrive on the mainland, on the Antarctic Peninsula and are dazzled by perhaps the most dramatic scenery to be found anywhere on earth.
Sailing aboard our well-appointed expedition vessel, we see Antarctic nature in all its glory. These areas boast an extraordinary abundance of wildlife, including five seal species and massive penguin rookeries of gentoo, Adelies and chinstraps as well as a profusion of seabirds from albatross to skuas. A wildlife highlight may well be watching a variety of magnificent whale species in close proximity as they crest the surface of the waves. On the White Continent, we also see remarkable landscapes of ice. At Paradise Harbour or Hope Bay we find many icebergs dotting the waters, including some that are colossal in size, containing natural caves shrouded in an eerie translucent light.

Antarctic Peninsula, Falklands And South Georgia
from $13,279*
Amazing Wildlife, Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Islands, The Beagle Channel, Ushuaia, South Georgia, Falkland Islands.
This adventure promises an in-depth and unforgettable experience to the bottom of the world travelling to the extraordinary Falkland Islands and diverse sub-Antarctic islands before sailing further south to the remarkable Antarctic Peninsula area.Our first stop is the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean. This far-flung group of islands lies north of the Antarctic Convergence and enjoys a relatively warmer climate than our other destinations. As a result, the mainly uninhabited Falklands support unique wildlife not found further south, including sixty species of migratory birds as well as the rare rockhopper penguin.
Our journey continues southeast, crossing the Antarctic Convergence to the remote and hauntingly beautiful island of South Georgia. Here amongst the soaring snow-clad mountains and massive glaciers, we'll find huge king penguin rookeries, thousands of sub-Antarctic fur seals, the comical macaroni penguin, as well as spectacular wilderness that is perhaps, unequalled on earth. We'll also discover a remarkable history here that reminds us of some of the world's most legendary explorers from Captain James Cook to Sir Ernest Shackleton.from $45,150*
