South Georgia & Falklands Cruises & Holidays
A voyage to The Falklands and South Georgia takes in the diversity and historical aspect of The Falkland Islands combined with the sheer concentration of wildlife on South Georgia, with Antarctica as the grand finale. Steppes Travel offers expeditionary cruises to The Falklands and South Georgia encompassing the best that these magnificent destinations have to offer.
With its white sand beaches and windswept moors, The Falklands play host to an astonishing variety of wildlife. This is nature's kingdom where the husky cry of the sea lion, the quizzical gaze of the rockhopper penguin and the unfamiliar companionship of the striated caracara are a reminder of nature’s supremacy. Visit charming Port Stanley and enjoy the islander’s warm hospitality, while visiting the museum or one of the seven pubs.
Southeast from The Falkland’s and battered by the restless churning of the Southern Ocean, South Georgia is renowed for its magnificent scenery, rich history and boundless wildlife. Originally uninhabited, it was claimed by Captain Cook in 1775, first becoming an important source of seal skin and then the world’s largest whaling centre by the beginning of the twentieth century. However, for many its best know for its part in Shackleton’s extraordinary rescue journey following the loss of the ship Endurance in 1916.
