19 Day Voyage from £3528

Sailing south aboard MS Fram, in the giant footsteps of Ernest Shackleton, this exceptional adventure combines an in depth exploration of the White Continent with the equally remote landscapes of the Falklands and South Georgia.

Itinerary

Day 1 :

Arrive Buenos Aires and transfer to hotel, free time to explore the historic 'Paris of the South'. Tour the city's eclectic mix of grandiose European architecture, perhaps visit the famous mausoleums of the Recoleta Cemetery, or take in a fabulous Tango show in the city that has become synonymous with this most intoxicating of dances.

 

Day 2 :

Fly to Ushuaia and transfer to MS Fram. Set sail for the Falkland Islands.

 

Day 3 :

At sea. Lectures on the natural and cultural history of the Falkland Islands, an archipelago of nearly 700 islands that occupies the South Atlantic waters 480 km from Cape Horn and some 1,600 km north of Antarctica.

 

Days 4 - 5 :

Explore Port Stanley, the capital of the islands and once a deepwater port that provided a vital haven for ships passing through the Magellan Straits. You will spend time discovering something of the unique Sub-Antarctic wilderness and fauna of the region.

 

Days 6 - 7 :

At sea, heading towards South Georgia. On board lectures against a stunning backdrop of glacial ice and emerald bays.

 

Days 8 - 9 :

Visit the wildlife colonies, whaling stations and historic sights of South Georgia, including hopefully the Gryviken Whaling Station, where Shackleton's grave is located. You can expect to find large colonies of fur and elephant seals, king penguins and black-browed albatross amongst these remote landscapes.
