Discover The New Standalone Falklands Voyage With Antarctica21 In 2027-28: Wildlife, Exploration And More Await!

The Chilean expedition cruise operator Antarctica21 has created a new independent travel program which will operate during the 2027-2028 season to take visitors on a ten-day expedition to the stunning Falkland Islands(Malvinas). The newly introduced Sea Voyages program of the company provides this trip as a special opportunity to discover the isolated South Atlantic Ocean archipelago which lies 480 kilometers beyond Argentina’s southern coastline.

New 10-Day Falklands Adventure

The new Falklands voyage offers a perfect opportunity for travellers to immerse themselves in the wildlife-rich environment of the islands. The Falkland Islands are home to diverse species of wildlife, including five different types of penguins, elephant seals, sea lions, and the world’s largest population of black-browed albatross. This 10-day voyage aboard the Magellan Explorer promises guests a relaxed pace with multiple landings across the archipelago, ensuring plenty of time for exploration and wildlife viewing.

Guests will embark on the journey round-trip from Ushuaia, Argentina, a popular gateway for Antarctic cruises. The itinerary is designed for those who want to engage in an immersive experience, providing ample time to explore some of the archipelago’s most pristine islands, such as New Island, Carcass Island, Steeple Jason, Saunders, Bleaker, Sea Lion, Pebble, Keppel, and West Point. The carefully crafted itinerary maximises wildlife encounters while also giving travellers time to unwind in the natural beauty of the islands.
