Explore the rarely visited Falkland Islands (Malvinas), South Georgia and Antarctica on this unforgettable 20-day adventure to the 7th Continent. Stroll through the English village of Stanley, wander the islands’ sandy dunes and birdwatch at rugged cliffs teeming with seabirds. Discover the beaches where king penguins breed in South Georgia – this colony has one of the highest densities of animal life on earth! Both archipelagos are known for their wildlife and you’ll likely see epic displays of animals by the thousands. Explore the vast Antarctic Peninsula and enter a world of ice, snow and natural wonders, taking the opportunity to go on an optional sea-kayaking adventure, day paddling or snowshoeing.
Take an incredible 14-day polar cruise from Greenland to Newfoundland and explore both Arctic and boreal environments. This means you’ll experience boreal biomes – cold, dense forests dominated by coniferous trees, boreal woodlands and boreal wildlife – while looking out for caribou, black bears, red and Arctic foxes and peregrine falcons. This is a sharp contrast to what you’ll experience in Arctic biomes – home to treeless regions marked by extreme winters, low vegetation and wildlife like polar bears, seals and migratory birds. Learn about Greenlandic culture, Inuit and Nunatsiavut culture and Viking history. Experience East Coast hospitality in St. John’s, famously steeped in Celtic music thanks to its vast population of Irish descendants, and visit three UNESCO World Heritage sites – Ilulissat Icefjord, Red Bay Basque Whaling Station and the 11th century Viking ruins at l’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site. This exploration really is the trip of a lifetime!
