south georgia, falkland islands and the antarctic peninsula aboard hondius
23 day voyage 22 nights aboard Hondius
Cruise to the Falklands, South Georgia, Antarctic Peninsula
and attempt to cross the Antarctic Circle
This comprehensive voyage aboard Hondius will bring you close to the incredible landscapes, wildlife and history of the Sub‐Antarctic islands and the Antarctic Peninsula. Cruising to the Falkland Islands, we’ll visit Port Stanley ‐ the capital of the Falklands, and discover Black‐Browed Albatross sharing their colony with sturdy Rockhopper Penguins. We then cruise to South Georgia, an island boasting a huge diversity of mammals, whales and birds, and a series of harbours that once sheltered large fleets of whaling ships. In South Georgia we plan to visit Stromness Bay, the King Penguin colonies on Salisbury Plain, Grytviken (Whaling History Museum) as well as Shackleton’s grave. Combine this with the natural wonders of the South Orkney Islands, Elephant Island and the spectacular Antarctic Peninsula and you have the makings of a truly memorable voyage. We will also push further south if ice conditions allow, to enter Crystal Sound and cross the fabled Antarctic Circle.
