"Falklands, South Georgia And Antarctica: Explorers And Kings" is a group trip which will include accommodation, transport, meals and others. See below for further details.

The journey begins in the Falklands with its large population of Rockhopper and Magellanic penguins, along with Black-browed albatross. In South Georgia, the ship threads her way through magical fjords to Salisbury Plain and Gold Harbour, places so remote that they have evolved into astonishing wildlife havens boasting a 100,000-plus population of King penguins on their beaches.
