Home to a proud and diverse community of porteños, or ‘people of the port’, Buenos Aires is a sensuous fusion of faded European splendour and Latin American panache. There are plenty of places to explore, including many parrillas serving authentic Argentine steak. Or maybe you’d like to practise your dance moves in the famed birthplace of the tango. Your Expedition Ship will be awaiting you for embarkation.
Over the next days at sea, you’ll learn more about the wonders you’ll encounter during our trip. Members of the Expedition Team will start their lecture series on topics like oceanography, geology, ornithology, and history. Pop into the Science Centre for hands-on presentations as well. Grab your binoculars and scan for rare wandering albatrosses and petrels. Make the most of your onboard facilities and enjoy the hot tubs, sauna and gym.
The Falkland archipelago is filled with seamless horizons and white sands teeming with birdlife. Only the occasional farm dots the landscape amidst the grassy hills and wildflowers. Enjoy a community walk around Stanley, taking in the Jubilee Villas gardens, Christ Church Cathedral and the Historic Dockyard Museum. Landings, hikes and excursions are, as always, guided by the conditions. You may be able to visit albatross and penguin colonies, which are often found sharing space with seals, and getting as close as we can without disturbing them.

Sailing from the Falklands, spend two days cruising towards beautiful South Georgia. You can look forward to seeing an archipelago filled with diverse wildlife. Meet up with the Expedition Team as they prepare you for what lies ahead. They’ll tell you everything they know about South Georgia, including the area’s wildlife, polar history, geology, glaciology, and stories of Norwegian whalers. As you get closer, the Expedition Team will talk about the IAATO environmental guidelines and sustainability rules that you’ll follow when visiting to make your visit as safe and as low impact as possible, leaving nothing but footprints and taking nothing but pictures.

South Georgia’s abundant wildlife has earned it the nickname ‘Serengeti of the Southern Ocean’. Its unique position free from sea ice makes the island a breeding site for large colonies of penguins, other seabirds and seals. In fact, it’s an Important Bird Area, home to albatrosses, petrels, shags, skuas and terns.
Throughout your three days in the area, you’ll land as often as you can to explore the wilderness and wildlife. Your Expedition Team will also try to reach Grytviken, the final resting place of Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. Your expedition route will as always be guided by nature, responding to daily conditions to seek out the best possible experience.
While the itinerary is always flexible, it’s even more so during peak breeding seasons when the wildlife is most vulnerable to disturbance. When opportunities allow, you’ll land here and observe the wildlife.
Nothing prepares you for your first sight of Antarctica’s immense, frozen beauty. Icebergs, sculpted by nature, float in the straits. Gentoo, Chinstrap and Adélie Penguins watch erect from the shores. Countless seabirds wheel overhead. Nature is in charge. You’ll explore several possible landing sites, on and around the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands. Wherever you go and whatever you do, each day will offer something different and thrilling. You might sail into a flooded volcanic caldera or land in icy bays, where remnants of whaling paraphernalia lie abandoned. You may also get a chance to go kayaking among icebergs and seals, or snowshoe to a stunning viewpoint. Bird enthusiasts should look skywards for Antarctic seabirds such as skuas, petrels and terns. Through onboard lectures, you’ll learn more about this precious habitat and how we can all protect it for the future.
