Enjoy the unspoiled landscapes and myriad wildlife of the Falkland Islands with Lindblad Expeditions as part of their 24 day journey aboard the National Geographic Explorer. Passengers booking the 24 day journey will receive a £1230 ($2,000) * discount per person on their expedition and a complimentary charter flight between Ushuaia and Buenos Aires. To top it all off the package also includes two free nights in Buenos Aires.
The expedition starts in Buenos Aires on October 18 and includes a two-day stop in the Falkland Islands. An archipelago comprised of more than 700 individual islands, the Falklands are home to the largest Black browed albatross colony in the world, thousands of gentoo, rockhopper and Magellanic penguins and herds of sea lions and elephant seals. In addition to getting up close with the wildlife, passengers will also have the opportunity to go ashore and experience the capital of the Falklands – Stanley – within easy reach of white sandy beaches, relax in one of the local pubs, or learn about the history of this port city.
The itinerary also includes a stop at South Georgia Island as well as Peninsula Valdes, which is the main breeding site for the endangered southern right whales that are concentrated in the area to give birth and find mates.
The National Geographic Explorer is one of the most technologically advanced expedition ships in the world. Her reinforced ice belt makes it possible to navigate polar passages while also providing exceptional comfort. It also carries 36 kayaks and a fleet of Zodiac landing craft that allow passengers to get up close and experience the region firsthand. While aboard the ship, guests will enjoy international cuisine with a local flair as well as a host of amenities including a fitness centre and spa. There are also numerous lectures led by specialists so that passengers can learn about the region and its unique wildlife, and every voyage aboard National Geographic Explorer is accompanied by a National Geographic photographer. This voyage will include award-winning filmmaker Keenan Smart, Executive Producer of National Geographic’s “Great Migration” series.
