Ship National Geographic Explorer
Destination Antarctica
Nights 21
Departure Date 30 Oct 2024
Description 20 Night Cruise sailing from Ushuaia roundtrip aboard National Geographic Explorer. Hotel stay pre-cruise in Buenos Aires.

One of the grandest wild experiences the planet offers:

This voyage has it all: the impossible beauty of the Antarctic ice, the vast king penguin colonies of South Georgia, and the Falklands' amazing albatross colonies. Not even the mass migrations of Africa can rival the awesomeness of seeing a king penguin colony of tens of thousands individuals stretching as far as the eye can see. You’ll have other rare sightings here too: massive, in both senses of the word, herds of elephant seals: and a wandering albatross stretching its 11-foot wings. It’s the impossible beauty of an Antarctica trip exponentially increased by unimaginable numbers of animals. For most travelers, visiting Antarctica is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. So for those with the luxury of time, including the Falklands and South Georgia just makes sense. And it makes for a genuine experience of a lifetime.

Trace the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s fateful journey in 1914 aboard Endurance, and toast his gravesite in South Georgia

See three distinct regions and benefit from our 50 years of experience here

Early November departures on all ships offer the possibility to cross-country ski and showshoe across the frozen sea ice, conditions permitting

Create incredible images of the ice and vast penguin colonies with help from a National Geographic photographer
