Overview 23–Day Epic Antarctica: Crossing the Circle via Falklands (Malvinas) and South Georgia
Antarctica is an incredible destination with the power to transform those who are fortunate enough to explore it with the most experienced expedition team in the industry. At Quark Expeditions, we’ve been delivering transformational polar voyages for three decades, and in that time we’ve realized that the more personalized an expedition is, the more enriching the experience will be. We’ve designed this guide to help you plan your perfect expedition to the 7th continent. Our Epic Antarctica voyage is so named for a reason: it includes every major Antarctic highlight. From the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) to South Georgia to the Antarctic Peninsula, you will experience countless unforgettable moments on this adventure-packed, 23-day voyage. Start with the Falklands, reminiscent of both sandy Cape Cod and the English moors, home to albatross, dolphins, and five species of penguins. From there, venture to South Georgia, where you’ll encounter the home of 450,000 breeding pairs of king penguins, 50 million seabirds and 5 million seals. Then, explore the stunning Antarctic Peninsula, and, finally, cross the Antarctic Circle—the ultimate milestone for any world traveler. Antarctica has been inspiring explorers for centuries—now it’s your turn. Our technologically–advanced Ultramarine was designed to extend the boundaries of polar exploration and offer an unmatched Antarctic experience, including flightseeing experiences you’ll never forget and the largest portfolio of off–ship adventure options in the industry. We’re excited to host you on your unforgettable adventure!
