Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica

During this 19- to 21-day Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica expedition, follow in the footsteps of the great explorers to Antarctica. Along the way marvel at the magnificent flora and fauna that Darwin first documented on the islands of South Georgia and the Falklands. Pass through the Weddell Sea into the Antarctic Peninsula through spectacular channels and bays of icebergs, seals, penguins and more, and be one of the few to set foot on the continent of Antarctica! 

Enjoy shore-based walking opportunities, including the Shackleton walk. Zodiac cruises reveal at least six different penguin species. Take in Victorian-era charm at Port Stanley. Seek out Shackleton’s grave on South Georgia Island, which may also provide chances to see large wandering albatross sitting on eggs or nursing their chicks.

At Grytviken, see an abandoned whaling station, where king penguins now walk in the streets and elephant seals have taken residency. Fin whales may follow the ship on its way south to the Antarctic Peninsula. Possibilities exist to sail the Weddell Sea, Bransfield Strait, Gerlache Strait and Lemaire Channel, and the ship may set course for Elephant Island. Flexibility is key to making the most of any Antactica small ship cruise.

The main 19-day Falkland, South Georgia & Antarctica itinerary travels east from Ushuaia to the Falklands and South Georgia Islands, then turns south for the South Orkney Islands and three days on the Antarctic Peninsula. Finish the journey back to Ushuaia after crossing the famed Drake Passage aboard either the 108-passenger M/V Plancius, the 108-guest M/V Ortelius or the 170-guest M/V Hondius.

Additionally, there is a 20-day alternative itinerary that spends one additional day exploring the Antarctic Peninsula (or a unique day in the South Falklands in 2024-25), as well as a 21-day alternative itinerary that begins in Puerto Madryn, Argentina. Whichever you choose, the Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica voyage is truly a trip of a lifetime.

Day 3
Falkland Islands

The Falkland Islands offer an abundance of wildlife that is easily approachable, though caution is always advised. These islands are largely unknown gems, the site of a 1982 war between the UK and Argentina. Not only do various species of bird live here, but chances are great you’ll see both Peale’s dolphins and Commerson’s dolphins in the surrounding waters.

During this segment of the voyage, you may visit the following sites:

Carcass Island
Despite its name, this island is pleasantly rodent-free and hence bounteous with birdlife and many endemic species. Anything from breeding Magellanic penguins and gentoos to numerous waders and passerine birds (including Cobb’s wrens and tussock-birds) live here.

Saunders Island
On Saunders Island you can see the black-browed albatross and its sometimes-clumsy landings, along with breeding imperial shags and rockhopper penguins. King penguins, Magellanic penguins, and gentoos are also found here.

Port Stanley, Falklands

The capital of the Falklands and center of its culture, Port Stanley has some Victorian-era charm: colorful houses, well-tended gardens, and English-style pubs are all to be found here. You can also see several century-old clipper ships nearby, silent witnesses to the hardships of 19th century sailors. The small but interesting museum is also worth a visit, covering the early days of settlement up to the Falklands War. Approximately 2,100 people live in Port Stanley. Admission to the museum is included.

South Georgia

Arrive at the first South Georgia activity site. Please keep in mind that weather conditions in this area can be challenging, largely dictating the program.

Over the next several days, you have a chance to visit the following sites:

Fortuna Bay
A beautiful outwash plain from Fortuna Glacier is home to a large number of king penguins and seals. Here you may also have the chance to follow the final leg of Shackleton’s route to the abandoned whaling village of Stromness. This path cuts across the mountain pass beyond Shackleton’s Waterfall, and as the terrain is partly swampy, be prepared to cross a few small streams.

Salisbury Plain, St. Andrews Bay, Gold Harbor
These sites not only house the three largest king penguin colonies in South Georgia, they’re also three of the world’s largest breeding beaches for Antarctic fur seals. Literally millions breed on South Georgia during December and January. Only during the mid-season do they peak in their breeding cycle. There will be some young adult Elephant seals as well as this seasons ‘Weaner’s; the young Elephant Seals that have been left to fend for themselves. Watch your step and stay cool when walking the beaches during this time.

Grytviken
In this abandoned whaling station, king penguins walk the streets and elephant seals lie around like they own the place – because they basically do. Here you might be able to see the South Georgia Museum as well as Shackleton’s grave.

In the afternoon of Day 10 and depending on the conditions, we will start sailing southwards in the direction of the South Orkney Islands.

21-Day Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica from Puerto Madryn Itinerary

The 21-Day Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica from Puerto Madryn Cruise begins in Puerto Madryn, Argentina, and ends in Ushuaia, Argentina.

Route map of 21-day Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica small ship expedition, operating between Puerto Madryn and Ushuaia, Argentina, with additional visits to the South Orkney Islands & the Antarctic Peninsula.

Day 1
Embark Puerto Madryn, Argentina

Embark from Puerto Madryn in the afternoon, with prow aimed for the Falkland Islands. Golfo Nuevo is renowned for its visiting southern right whales, so there’s a good chance of spotting one while sailing toward the open ocean.

Accommodations

Hondius, Ortelius, Plancius

Meals

dinner

Days 2 - 3
At Sea

At sea, there’s rarely a lonesome moment. Several species of bird follow the vessel southeast, such as albatrosses, storm petrels, shearwaters and diving petrels.

Meals

breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 4
Falkland Islands

The Falkland (Malvinas) Islands offer an abundance of wildlife that is easily approachable, though caution is always advised. These islands are largely unknown gems, the site of a 1982 war between the UK and Argentina. Not only do various species of bird live here, but chances are great to see both Peale’s dolphins and Commerson’s dolphins in the surrounding waters.

During this segment of the voyage, possible visiting sites include the following:

Steeple Jason
Home to the world’s largest black-browed albatross colony (roughly 113,000), Steeple Jason is a wild and rarely visited island buffeted by wind and waves. Weather and swell conditions dictate the journey here.

Carcass Island
Despite its name, this island is pleasantly rodent-free and hence bounteous with birdlife. Anything from breeding Magellanic penguins and gentoos to numerous waders and passerine birds (including Cobb’s wrens and tussock-birds) live here.

Saunders Island
On Saunders Island it’s possible to see the black-browed albatross and its sometimes-clumsy landings, along with breeding imperial shags and rockhopper penguins. King penguins, Magellanic penguins, and gentoos are also found here.

Accommodations

Hondius, Ortelius, Plancius

Meals

breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 5
Port Stanley, Falklands

The capital of the Falklands and center of its culture, Port Stanley has some Victorian-era charm: colorful houses, well-tended gardens, and English-style pubs are all to be found here. You can also see several century-old clipper ships nearby, silent witnesses to the hardships of 19th century sailors. The small but interesting museum is also worth a visit, covering the early days of settlement up to the Falklands War. Approximately 2,100 people live in Port Stanley. Admission to the museum is included.

Accommodations

Hondius, Ortelius, Plancius

Meals

breakfast, lunch, dinner

Read More
Days 6 - 7
At Sea

En route to South Georgia, cross the Antarctic Convergence. The temperature cools considerably within the space of a few hours, and nutritious water rises to the surface of the sea due to colliding water columns. This phenomenon attracts a multitude of seabirds near the ship, including several species of albatross, shearwaters, petrels, prions and skuas.

Accommodations

Hondius, Ortelius, Plancius

Meals

breakfast, lunch, dinner

Days 8 - 11
South Georgia

Today, arrive at the first South Georgia activity site. Please keep in mind that weather conditions in this area can be challenging and largely dictate the program. Sites visits may include the following:

Salisbury Plain, St. Andrews Bay, Gold Harbor
These sites not only house the three largest king penguin colonies in South Georgia, they’re also three of the world’s largest breeding beaches for southern elephant seals. Only during this time of year do they peak in their breeding cycle. Watch the four-ton bulls keep a constant vigil (and occasionally fight) over territories where dozens of females have just given birth or are about to deliver. It’s also possible to see a substantial number of Antarctic fur seals here during the breeding season (December – January).

Fortuna Bay
Near beaches inhabited by various penguins and seals, have the chance to follow the final leg of Shackleton’s route to the abandoned whaling village of Stromness. This path cuts across the mountain pass beyond Shackleton’s Waterfall. The terrain is partly swampy, so be prepared to cross a few small streams.

Grytviken
In this abandoned whaling station, king penguins walk the streets and elephant seals lie around like they own the place–because they basically do. Here is the South Georgia Museum as well as Shackleton’s grave.

In the afternoon of Day 11 and depending on the conditions, we will start sailing southwards in the direction of the South Orkney Islands.

Accommodations

Hondius, Ortelius, Plancius

Meals

Day 12
At Sea

There may be sea ice on this route, and at the edge of the ice some south polar skuas and snow petrels could join the other seabirds trailing the vessel south.

Accommodations

Hondius, Ortelius, Plancius

Meals

breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 13
South Orkney Islands

Depending on the conditions, perhaps might visit Orcadas Base, an Argentine scientific station on Laurie Island in the South Orkney archipelago. The personnel here happily tour their facility, with expansive views of the surrounding glaciers. If a visit isn’t possible, instead land in Signy Island’s Shingle Cove.

Accommodations

Hondius, Ortelius, Plancius

Meals

breakfast, lunch, dinner

Read More
Days 14 - 15
At Sea Toward Antarctica

Enormous icebergs and a fair chance of fin whale sightings ensure there’s never a dull moment on this last sea voyage south. Also, this is best chance to spot Antarctic petrels. Depending on conditions, aim to begin activities the afternoon of Day 15.

Accommodations

Hondius, Ortelius, Plancius

Meals

breakfast, lunch, dinner

Days 16 - 18
Antarctic Peninsula

If the ice conditions permit, sail into the Weddell Sea where colossal tabular icebergs herald your arrival to the eastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula. Paulet Island, with its large population of Adélie penguins, is a possible stop. Perhaps visit Brown Bluff, located in the ice-clogged Antarctic Sound, where here’s the chance to set foot on the Antarctic Continent itself.

If conditions aren’t favorable to enter the Weddell Sea from the east, the ship will set course for Elephant Island and head into the Bransfield Strait, between South Shetland Island and the Antarctic Peninsula and attempt to access the Antarctic Sound from the northwest.

The volcanic islands of the South Shetlands are windswept and often cloaked in mist, but they nonetheless offer many subtle pleasures. A wide variety of flora (mosses, lichens, flowering grasses) and fauna (gentoo penguins, chinstrap penguins, southern giant petrels) live here. Chinstrap penguins and Weddell seals often haul out onto the beach near Cámara Base, an Argentine scientific research station on Half Moon Island.

On Deception Island, the ship plunges through Neptune’s Bellows and into the flooded caldera. There are hot springs, an abandoned whaling station and thousands of cape petrels. A number of kelp gulls, brown skuas, south polar skuas and Antarctic terns can be spotted too. Wilson’s storm petrels and black-bellied storm petrels also nest in the ruins of the whaling station in Whalers Bay. As an alternative, you can take part in activities near Telefon Bay, further inside the caldera.

This extended voyage offers the chance to sail even farther down the icy coast of the western Antarctic Peninsula. In the Gerlache Strait are several opportunities for great landings to possibly set foot on the Antarctic Continent, surrounded by an epic landscape of alpine peaks and mammoth glaciers calving at sea level. Gentoo penguins, leopard seals, Weddell seals, humpback whales and minke whales are often seen here.

The breathtaking scenery continues in the southern Gerlache Strait, and if ice conditions allow, it’s possible to even reach Lemaire Channel. Conditions on the Drake Passage determine the exact time of departure.

Accommodations

Meals

breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 19 - 20
Drake Passage

The return voyage is far from lonely. While crossing the Drake, be once again greeted by the vast array of seabirds remembered from the passage south. But they seem a little more familiar to you now, and you to them.

Accommodations

Hondius, Ortelius, Plancius

Meals

Day 21
Disembark Ushuaia, Argentina

Arrive and disembark in Ushuaia, commonly held to be the world’s most southern city. It is located on the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, nicknamed the “End of the World.” But despite this stopping point, the wealth of memories you’ve made on your Antarctic expedition will travel with you wherever your next adventure lies.
