Journey to the magnificent polar continent of Antarctica on a fascinating 11-night cruise that also features the historic, wind-swept Falkland Islands. Cultural exploration in South America includes Santiago, Chile’s cultural capital that lies in the shadow of the mighty Andean mountains, and Buenos Aires in Argentina – “Paris of the Americas.”
Antarctica & The Falkland Islands
Arrive on the Great White continent and follow in the footsteps of turn-of-the-century polar explorers on Tauck’s expeditionary cruise to Antarctica. See a variety of penguin species in their natural environment. View glowing icebergs, glacier erosion, and dramatic landscapes that are like no other. Look for whales, seals, and blue-eyed shags, and possibly tour a scientific research station. This small-size ship can maneuver easier in narrow channels, and can get closer to shorelines enabling more varied landing sites. Clipper Adventurer hosts 122 passengers, and is specifically designed for polar expedition voyages with a reinforced hull. Tauck’s Antarctica tours take in the Falkland Islands, Tierra del Fuego, and the capital cities of Buenos Aires and Santiago, capped by a visit to a renowned Chilean winery. (January 2007)
