Endurance, South Georgia & Falklands ex Buenos Aires to Ushuaia
15 Night Cruise sailing from Ushuaia roundtrip aboard National Geographic Endurance. Hotel stay pre-cruise in Buenos Aires.
Discover wild, intriguing islands few have seen:
Steeped in Shackleton and whaling lore, covered mostly in glaciers, South Georgia explodes with life: king, gentoo, and macaroni penguins, enormous elephant seals, and a thriving fur seal population. On South Georgia you can observe one of the world’s great wildlife spectacles: tens of thousands of stately king penguins on a single beach! The Falkland Islands are equally impressive, with colonies of nesting albatross and rockhopper penguins. This British Territory also adds a human element, with remote settlements and people living off the land.
