Antarctica and Falklands Expedition | Southbound

Buenos Aires, home to a diverse and proud community of portenos or "people from the ports," is a sensuous fusion between faded European splendors and Latin American panache.

You can find many places where you can enjoy authentic Argentine beef. You can also learn to dance in the birthplace of tango.

You will embark the MS Roald Amundsen in Buenos Aires and begin your journey southbound. You'll be given a short briefing by your Expedition Team before you can settle in your cabin.

You'll discover more on the trip as we sail.

The Expedition Team members will begin their lecture series, which includes topics such as oceanography, history, ornithology and geology. Visit the Science Center to see interactive presentations.

Look through binoculars for wandering petrels and albatrosses. Enjoy the onboard amenities, including the gym, hot tubs and panoramic sauna.

Falkland is a place of endless horizons, white beaches and a plethora of birdlife. The landscape is dotted with grassy hills, wildflowers and the odd farm. Take a stroll around Stanley to see the Jubilee Villas Gardens, Christ Church Cathedral and Historic Dockyard Museum.

As always, our landings, walks and excursions will be subject to the weather. Our goal is to get as close to seals as we can without disturbing them. We will also visit penguin and albatross colonies.

We'll cruise for two days to the Antarctic Peninsula after the Falkland Island. Enjoy a diverse range of wildlife in a beautiful natural environment.

You will be prepared for the journey ahead by our Expedition Team. The Expedition Team will tell you all they know about Antarctica. This includes information on the wildlife of Antarctica as well as polar history and geology.

Learn how you can make sure your trip is as impact-free and safe as possible. Join our Citizen Science Programs to collect data and help global research projects.

Antarctica is a frozen wonderland. In the Straits, nature-sculpted icebergs float. From the coast, Gentoo penguins, Adelie and chinstrap penguins can be seen. Numerous seabirds fly overhead. Nature has the final say.

You'll be exploring several landing sites around and on the Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Islands and the surrounding area over the next five-day period. No matter what or where we are, each day is going to be exciting and unlike any other experience you have had before.

You might choose to sail in an ice-covered bay surrounded by glaciers or land on a volcano caldera that is flooded. Kayak among seals and icebergs, or go snowshoeing to an amazing viewpoint.

Look up in the sky for Antarctic seabirds like skuas. You'll discover more about the habitat through onshore and onboard talks.

Six unforgettable days in Antarctica are over. Now it's time to set off on our last adventure: The Drake Passage. The passage is known for high winds, strong currents and can be quiet and still. The luck will determine whether or not you experience "Drake Lake" and the "Drake Shake."

Do not worry, even though we may encounter rough seas on this part of our adventure in the Southern Ocean. The MS Roald Amundsen will be perfectly prepared for the journey. The Expedition Team will share their experiences during the crossing. This way, you can keep your mind in Antarctica and the Falklands for a bit longer.

The expedition cruise will end in Ushuaia. This is the largest city of Tierra del Fuego province, Argentina's most southern province. You'll then fly back to Buenos Aires.

You don't need to end your journey there. Join our optional Post-Program to continue your adventure before you head home.
