ITINERARY
Day
1 / Ushuaia, Embarkation
Your
journey begins at the pier in Ushuaia, Argentina, with an 8 PM
embarkation. Board your ship and sail along the Beagle Channel towards
Puerto Williams, Chile, the southernmost town in the world, where the
ship will clear formalities for Cape Horn approach.
Day
2 / Cape Horn
After
an overnight crossing of Nassau Bay, you awake in full view of
legendary Cape Horn! Weather permitting, board a Zodiac and be one of
the few privileged adventurers to step foot on this famous and rarely
visited island. Sail and explore the area in depth before setting
course north towards the Falkland Islands.
Day
3 / At sea
As
you sail through the South Atlantic en route to the Falkland Islands
(Islas Malvinas), attend an engaging program of lectures and
presentations. In the company of expert guides, watch for wildlife from
the lounge or from the outside decks. You may spot magnificent
seabirds, such as albatrosses and petrels, as well as different species
of whales.
Day
4 / West Falklands (south)
Ruggedly
beautiful and remote, places such as New Island, Weddell Island or West
Point are located at the extreme west of the Falklands’
archipelago. Dramatic cliffs contrast with sheltered sandy bays and
natural harbors. They host large concentration and great diversity of
wildlife. Some of the best wildlife experiences are just a short
distance from the settlements.
Day
5 / West Falklands (north)
Named
after HMS Carcass, which visited in the late 18th century, the terrain
is varied with rocky ridges, steep cliffs, open plains, white sand
beaches and coves. Saunders is the second largest offshore island and
has very varied terrain, from rocky hills to sweeping shorelines. It is
an important Bird area and has exceptional wildlife. All five breeding
species of penguin
can
be spotted here along with black-browed albatross and many other birds.
Day
6 / The Falkland Sound
You
cruise down the Falkland Sound, sightseeing its rough and untouched
landscapes. We immerse ourselves in the past and recent history of the
islands. You visit settlements and meet the locals, getting to know the
culture of farming families. As we stop at sites that were active
battlefields during the 1982 conflict, our historians introduce us to
regional geopolitics.
Day
7 / Port Stanley
Join
our expedition team on guided walking tours in town or to Gipsy Cove.
Or take the option to explore on your own and absorb the local
atmosphere, grabbing lunch at the pub, visiting the maritime museum,
the church, hunting for souvenirs or walking down Ross Road, paying
tribute at the war memorials at the waterfront. Note: Small-group day
tours and half-day tours can be purchased on board the ship to visit
Volunteer Point (by 4×4 vehicle or helicopter), battlefield
tours (by 4×4 vehicle), and others. Options will be presented
on board.
Day
