These itineraries are the ones to do if you can afford them. They range from 16 to 20 nights onboard and include the two unique island groups. The Falklands are similar to the northern Scottish Islands, wild with generally grass and tussock covered landscape, and are of course settled. Most ships visit at least one of the remote ‘wildlife’ islands plus Port Stanley, the capital. Black-browed Albatross, Rockhopper and Magellanic Penguins colonies are found plus various land bird endemics. South Georgia is a spectacular range of mountains which rise out the sea, covered in snow and ice, with more endemic wildlife, abandoned whaling stations and a large British Antarctic Survey base, flying the flag for the UK. Steeped in exploration history, you will pay homage and visit the grave of surely the greatest explorer, Shackleton. If you have even see part of the route he and his men walked you will join the rest of us in wondering how they did it, one of the greatest stories of human endurance and then some. Wandering Albatross nest on offshore islands along with vast colonies of King and Macaroni Penguins to name a few.
