Antarctica, South Georgia, Falkland Islands

Antarctica, South Georgia & Falklands Expedition

Eighteen nights across four countries and territories, from the Falklands' wildlife to South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula.

18 Nights / 19 Days (listed by Silversea as an 18-day voyage)Duration
9Cities

This is the most complete Antarctica itinerary in this set, covering eighteen nights.

It starts at the southern end of South America, stops for wildlife in the Falklands, gives South Georgia three days, and ends on the Antarctic Peninsula before the Drake Passage crossing home.

This is one of the Antarctica expedition voyages Silversea has scheduled aboard Silver Wind, eighteen nights, nineteen days from Puerto Williams and back, (Silversea voyage WI261107018). It's shared here to show what the longest Antarctica route could look like. A version built around your own dates and pace would look a little different, and that's the point.

Why This Trip

Why Travel to Antarctica Via the Falklands & South Georgia

Why Travel to Antarctica Via the Falklands & South Georgia

November is early in the season. South Georgia's mountains and penguin colonies, the Falklands' wildlife and the scenery of the Antarctic Peninsula all fit into one voyage, with 23 shore excursions on offer, more than any other voyage in this set.

The route has four distinct chapters. The Falkland Islands come first, with West Point Island, Saunders Island and Port Stanley across two days, then South Georgia for three days with the visa included, then Elephant Island and the Antarctic Sound, and finally two days on the Peninsula. If you asked us: this is the voyage for a traveller who wants it all in one trip and has the time for it. Six of the nineteen days are at sea, and the ship reaches the Peninsula only in the last part of the voyage, so it is not the version for a first-time Antarctica traveller who is short of time.
