Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica + Circle 23 days
Aboard: Sylvia Earle
Join this exciting expedition aboard the new polar vessel the Sylvia Earle and combine a discovery of the best of what the Antarctica region has to offer with the thrilling possibility of completing a feat seldom few have achieved…crossing the Antarctic Circle! Sailing to and from Ushuaia, your journey will begin with a brief visit to the beautiful Falkland Islands, with time for hopefully a few landings on some of the more remote and intriguing islands, before sailing on for an in-depth exploration of the wildlife paradise of South Georgia, home to millions of fur seals and penguins, wallows of elephant seals, and nesting albatross, as well as captivating historical sites. You then sail further south for a classic Antarctic Peninsula cruise where you will discover a land of towering icebergs, pristine scenery and enchanting wildlife. Your ship will make its way deep into southern Antarctic territory for exciting ice navigation that will hopefully see you raising a glass in celebration of being one of very few people to have ever ‘Crossed The Circle’!

Capable of negotiating the strongest winds and waves, the vessel has been built to world-class polar standards and utilises the ground-breaking ULSTEIN X-BOW technology which allows for faster, more comfortable travel, improved safety, reduced emissions and lower fuel consumption. The vessel boasts one of the lowest polluting marine engines in the world and also utilises virtual anchoring to protect the sea floor.
In terms of safety, the ship will feature industry-leading safety technology that exceeds the requirements for a ship of this size and will also feature world class return-to-port equipment and a fully-stocked medical clinic.
In terms of comfort onboard, the Sylvia Earle will be hard to beat. The vessel features a distinctive Glass Atrium Lounge at the bow of the ship with a stunning panoramic view on both port and starboard side, a swimming pool and jacuzzi where you can admire impressive scenery while watching the world go by.

Now that I am back from my odyssey voyage, I thought I would let you know that after all that planning it really did exceed my expectations – we managed landings everywhere even on Tristan da Cuhna and had great bird sightings. The guides all knew what they were talking about too and made sure I got some great photos – still sorting them all out! Thanks for everything and see you at Birdfair!
Dave MartinOverall I think that it was an excellent trip that was well worth the price paid and I would have no hesitation recommending your company to others.
Steve SuttonJust a quick note to express my sincere thanks to you and all your staff for making this an epic adventure of immense proportions. Everything went smoothly, pickups, hotels and most of all the expedition itself. Truly a mind blowing experience unlike any I have ever taken.
