Introduction

This voyage takes you via the Falkland Islands to the island of South Georgia, one of the remotest and wildest places of the United Kingdom's Overseas Territories, the only access being by ship. The island is completely mountainous, with snow-capped mountains rising to 2934 metres, and more than 160 glaciers dropping down into the sea. The island is virtually unspoilt by man and so offers unique opportunities to observe the unparalleled wildlife and spectacular scenery of this most beautiful part of the Southern Ocean, a true Antarctic oasis. Then on to Antarctica, the fabled White Continent where the Antarctic Peninsula offers the most dramatic scenery and largest variety of wildlife in Antarctica. Spectacular ice-bergs, glaciers and high mountains combined with abundant and tame wildlife will leave you with unforgettable memories.

A 20% deposit is required to secure your booking, as well as full payment at least 2 months prior to departure. Special cancellations conditions apply. Please consult Kumuka or your agent for details. Prices shown are for a twin share cabin with port hole. Prices for twin share cabins with windows, deluxe or superior twin share cabins, or quad share cabins are available on request.

Please note: All itineraries are for guidance only. Programmes may vary depending on local ice and weather conditions, the availability of landing sites and opportunities to see wildlife. The final itinerary will be determined by the Expedition Leader on board. Flexibility is paramount for expedition cruises.
