Itinerary: South Georgia & the Falklands

To/From Buenos Aires or Santiago MAXIMIZE YOUR TIME

Instead of sailing out of the Falklands, take our private charter flight to Santiago for one leg of your journey on the National Geographic Explorer departure to minimize time at sea.

ENCHANTING ISLES

Each Falkland Island is unique with white-sand beaches, vaulting cliffs, windswept moors, and the sunlit yellows and sage greens of waving tussock grass. See thousands of irresistible gentoo, rockhopper, and Magellanic penguins, as well as magnificent albatross and sea lions.

FALKLAND ISLANDS Port Stanley

BEAUX-ARTS BEGINNINGS

Start in Buenos Aires exploring its Beaux-Arts palaces, including the famous balcony forever associated with Eva Perón, then fly by private charter air to Ushuaia and set sail.

Ushuaia MEET THE FALKLANDERS

Visit Port Stanley and meet the hospitable locals, hoist a drink at a local pub, stroll around this remote colonial town, and learn about their ways of life.

GET ON SEATIME

Shoot photos of petrels and albatross on deck with your National Geographic photographer, or join informal discussions in the lounge to prepare for wildness as we sail for the Falklands.
