Itinerary: South Georgia & the Falklands

From Buenos Aires

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

MAXIMISE YOUR TIME

Instead of sailing out of the To Santiago Falklands, take our private charter flight to Santiago for one leg of your journey on select departures to minimise 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

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.
