One of the most isolated and beautiful places on earth, yet with the largest concentration of wildlife. Also known as “the Galápagos of Antarctica”, the only access is via ship. The Islands were first discovered in 1675, with Captain Cook being the first to set foot in 1775. Today, only 25 people live there, and it is the burial place of the legendary Sir Ernest Shackleton. A piece of heaven on earth that everyone dreams of visiting, but only a select few do.
Our ship is new (2019), fast (15 knots), very steady (powerful stabilizers), and especially luxurious with a restaurant and bars, sauna, gym, lectures lounge, library, and open observation deck, and best of all, most cabins have a private balcony
The private ship is for our exclusive use. We have added extra beach stops. Since the beaches are restricted to 100 visitors at a time, we are not limited in the same way as the big ships are. Thanks to the small size of our ship (up to 96 passengers), we can spend as much time as we want there.
We will spend the minimum of time sailing in order to maximize our time in the field. We will begin and end the journey in the Falkland Islands, home of the nearest airport, and our ship is particularly fast to quickly cover the distance.
