Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime voyage aboard a prestigious HX Hurtigruten Expeditions ship, that threads the rugged Falkland Islands with the pristine wilderness of Antarctica. This epic expedition cruise offers intrepid travellers a deep dive into some of the planet’s most remote and awe-inspiring landscapes, where towering icebergs glitter under endless skies and colonies of penguins waddle freely across windswept shores.

Begin your journey exploring the Falklands - an archipelago of rolling green hills, dramatic cliffs, and rich wildlife including albatross, sea lions, and rare bird species. From there, venture south into the icy realm of the Antarctic Peninsula, where majestic glaciers and snow-capped peaks dominate the horizon. Guided by expert naturalists, you’ll hike, kayak, and cruise amid breathtaking scenery, encountering elephant seals, whales, and vast penguin rookeries.

DAYS 8 - 9: FALKLAND ISLANDS - ANTARCTICA

 Antarctica’s sheer scale and icy silence will capture your senses completely as you edge closer - towering icebergs drift like frozen sculptures through silent straits, while gentoo, chinstrap, and Adélie penguins gather along the shore. Over the next five days, we’ll explore a range of possible landing sites across the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands, each one offering its own unforgettable experience. Weather and ice conditions will guide our route, but if luck is on our side, sail into a submerged volcanic caldera or step ashore in glacier-ringed bays. For the more adventurous, there’s the chance to kayak past icebergs or snowshoe to breathtaking lookouts. Birdwatchers will want to keep their eyes on the skies for skuas, petrels, and terns in flight. On board and ashore, our experts will deepen your understanding of this extraordinary ecosystem and how we can all play a part in protecting its fragile future.

DAYS 16 - 17: ANTARCTICA - USHUAIA

Your Antarctic adventure is winding down, but one last challenge awaits: the Drake Passage. This stretch of ocean is famous for tossing ships about with fierce winds and powerful currents - but sometimes it surprises with calm, glassy seas. Whether you catch the famous “Drake Shake” or glide over a smooth “Drake Lake,” it’s all part of the journey’s final thrill. The MS Roald Amundsen is designed to handle these rough waters, so you can focus on soaking in the experience. During the crossing, the expedition team will keep the spirit alive with stories and reflections, helping you carry the magic of the Falklands and Antarctica with you as you head home.

Antarctica, located at the South Pole, is bordered by the Southern Ocean and remains a little-visited land. Almost everything, 98% of its surface, is covered in ice.

The Inlandsis, the name of the immense glacier that forms the frozen surface of this area, can reach a thickness of 5,000 metres. Incredible as it may seem, this place is home to unusual and fascinating species. Some plant species are resistant to Antarctica's extreme climate.

More than 350 species of lichens, mosses, fungi and algae make up almost the entire flora. The Southern Ocean, on the other hand, is home to a large number of animal species: birds, fish and marine mammals. The emperor penguin is one of the most representative and moving of these. Colonies can reach up to 100,000 individuals. You can also see albatrosses, cormorants, sperm whales, orcas, seals, dolphins and the largest mammals in the world: blue whales!

Cosmopolitan, cultural and constantly exciting, the sprawling city of Buenos Aires is the ultimate place to begin a South American adventure.

From the dynamic dining scene, to the magnificent architecture and the buzzing nightlife that centres around everything from trendy jazz venues to glamorous nightclubs, Buenos Aires is South America's answer to the 'city that never sleeps', and is welcoming record numbers of visitors every year.

The streets of Argentina's thriving capital are alive with passion, and offer no end of thrilling attractions and opportunities. Begin your trip in this sophisticated destination by exploring the antiques and hidden treasures of the Feria de San Telmo street fair, a colourful market that draws in thousands of visitors each week.

Soak up the sights at the Casa Rosada, a historically and politically cruicial spot in the city, and the workplace of the country's very own President. As your afternoon continues, stop by MALBA, one of the city's most beloved art museums, before heading to one of the city's greatest steak establishments for a taste of Argentine culture and a sample of the country's incredible beef.

Finally, no trip to this capital is complete without trying your hand at a tango - this city is the birthplace of this iconic dance and we highly recommend heading to an authentic 'milonga' to make the most of your stay!
