Polar Regions Antarctica Cruise

Antarctic Latitudes, Falklands & South Georgia

The 21- or 22-day Antarctic Latitudes, Falklands & South Georgia voyage explores iconic Antarctic places, including the westernmost settled outposts in the Falkland Islands, the sheltered harbor of Stanley with lively pubs and historic museum, and of course, the Antarctic Peninsula. With over 20 days to explore, this voyage offers a complete checklist of animals and icebergs. 

The particular positioning of South Georgia inside the Antarctic Convergence provides the perfect exposure to tens of millions of breeding penguins, seals and seabirds in their home environment. Exploration by Zodiacs and kayaks through the most scenic bays and channels of the Antarctic Peninsula create once-in-a-lifetime memories. And time at sea provides opportunities for whale watching and navigating icebergs aboard two of the most luxury expedition vessels sailing these polar waters.

In addition to the main 21-day itinerary that begins and ends in Ushuaia and offers two pre-cruise hotel overnights, there are two slightly longer voyages. A 22-day itinerary begins in Puerto Madryn with one pre-cruise hotel overnight and ends in Ushuaia with one post-cruise hotel night. And another 22-day itinerary operates round-trip from Ushuaia along a counterclockwise route, adding a day along the Antarctic Peninsula and a unique visit to the Southwest Falklands.

The unique 149-guest Seaventure operates these itineraries. Experience Antarctica’s remote and ice-laden environment in a novel way with Seaventure’s custom-built citizen science lab, unique family cabins and heated saltwater pool, sauna and complimentary beverages. Italian-built Island Sky offers elegance and a focus on quality service, relaxation and refinement.
