Where Kings Rule the Beach

Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica with Intrepid, 21 days from $29,065pp

Embark on the ultimate polar voyage aboard the intimate Ocean Nova, with just 80 guests. Begin in the Falkland Islands, home to the world’s largest colony of black-browed albatross, and visit the penguins of Gypsy Cove near Stanley. Then spend four days on remote South Georgia, where hundreds of thousands of king penguins crowd the beaches beside huge elephant seals, and pay your respects at Shackleton’s grave in the old whaling station of Grytviken. Sail south through the Scotia Sea among towering icebergs to the Antarctic Peninsula, with daily Zodiac landings at places such as Deception Island.

With Intrepid, you'll enjoy small-ship expedition cruising from one of the world's leading small-group travel companies, founded in Melbourne in 1989. Intimate, ice-strengthened ships carry fewer guests, so you spend more time ashore, with an expert expedition team of naturalists and guides leading daily Zodiac landings and lectures. All meals on board, a hotel night before you sail and an expedition jacket to keep are included, and Intrepid is proudly a certified B Corp.
