Antarctica & Falklands Expedition
Antarctica Wilhelmina Bay
All-inclusive Antarctica expedition cruise from Santiago de Chile to Buenos Aires onboard MS Fram
Set out on a 24-day late-summer odyssey to Antarctica, the Falkland Islands and Patagonia’s Puerto Madryn, featuring an extraordinary ten days exploring the White Continent.
Along the way, spot whales and vast penguin colonies, experience breathtaking extended sunsets, and join the expert Expedition Team for immersive activities including hiking, kayaking, ice-cruising and the opportunity to camp overnight on the Antarctic snow. The journey continues in the Falkland Islands, with landings on scenic beaches, walks along grassland trails rich with wildlife, and time to explore the charming capital, Stanley.
The frozen continent
After a flight from Santiago de Chile, you’ll embark in Punta Arenas and head towards Antarctica. You’ll spend 10 days exploring the continent in its late summer months. At this time of year, beautiful sunsets paint the ice and snow in shades of gold, orange and pink. As always, nature is in charge. We’ll adjust our plans according to the elements to bring you the best possible landing sites and wildlife-spotting opportunities.
The Falklands and Puerto Madryn
Your adventure then continues with three days in the Falkland Islands. Visit the capital Stanley with its charming red buses, restaurants and pubs, and discover the variety of wildlife living on the more remote parts of the islands. You’ll then call at Puerto Madryn, known for its stunning beaches and nearby nature reserve, before your adventure comes to an end in vibrant Buenos Aires.
