Journey through the Falklands and Antarctica for your fill of fascinating history and unbelievable wildlife and landscapes.
Journey to two of the most remote, inspiring destinations in the world on this 19-day adventure beginning in Buenos Aires. Cruise down the coast of Argentina to the Falkland Islands, home to an abundance of wildlife and a culture that must be seen to be believed, then continue to the Antarctic Peninsula and set foot on the Great White Continent. Spot whales, orcas, seals and penguins both from the ship and while exploring during land excursions. This once-in-a-lifetime trip takes place onboard the Ocean Endeavour, an expedition vessel equipped with a wellness centre, saunas, a heated saltwater pool, gym and library, and you'll be accompanied by a variety of polar experts to help you make the most of your time in the Antarctic.

Why you'll love this trip
-
Experience the best of both worlds: the timeless landscapes of Antarctica and the storied history of the Falkland Islands.
-
Enjoy the freedom to customise your trip with a wide range of optional activities. In addition to regular Zodiac excursions, choose to explore the water on a kayaking expedition, sign up for a photography masterclass, rejuvenate with some onboard yoga and massage, or camp out overnight like a true polar explorer
-
Whereas most polar expeditions of this kind have a crew-to-passenger ratio of ten, fifteen or twenty to one, Peregrine expeditions on the Ocean Endeavour have an expedition crew member for every 8 passengers for a greater personal touch
-
Our experienced leaders have made hundreds of polar voyages. Learn about the history, geography and wildlife of the Antarctic from experts in marine biology, glaciology and history
-
Rest assured you will leave only footprints behind. Your Antarctica expedition is carbon offset, and we serve only sustainably-sourced seafood, avoid single-use plastics and use biodegradable and phosphate-free cleaning products on board
-
This is the perfect adventure for solo travellers, with single cabins at the same price as some twins
Is this trip right for you?
-
Although our ice strengthened ships are big and sturdy, Antarctic waters can be unpredictable and rough. Some people may experience seasickness, especially through the Drake Passage and other open water crossings. Please be prepared with medications to combat this. There is also a doctor on board should you need further assistance.
-
As you’d expect, temperatures in the Antarctic can be freezing. And yet it can get surprisingly warm at times – when the sun comes out, for instance, or with increased physical activity. It is wise to dress in layers when you journey outside. We provide you with waterproof boots that are sturdy and warm. Please see the trip notes for further important information about what to bring.
-
Weather depending, you will be making regular excursions in a Zodiac boat to explore the local area and look for wildlife. It can get very cold and wet on the Zodiac, so make sure you are dressed appropriately and that you keep your camera safe and dry. Sturdy sea legs are needed as you make wet and dry landings from the boat, and on steep terrain, snow and other uneven surfaces. The Ocean Endeavour has a lift, but you will need to take stairs to get to the gangway and some other parts of the ship that the lift does not provide access to.
-
The weather plays a pivotal part in this adventure, and although there’s an itinerary in place, there are no guarantees that you’ll be able to do everything that is planned for. A level of flexibility and openness to embracing the unexpected are important in expedition travel, especially in such a remote area. There are nearly 200 recognised sites in the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetlands; the places mentioned in the itinerary may need to be changed to others (which are equally as interesting). We may also be confined to the ship during rough weather. The onboard library and educational lectures are ideal ways for keeping entertained.
