After discovering the unique British outpost of the Falkland Islands, head south to the icescapes of Antarctica where Christmas Eve will find you in Paradise Bay surrounded by mountain peaks and glistening glaciers perhaps in the company of humpback whales that linger nearby.

A sensational sailing including the Falkland Islands
Spring awakens new life in spectacular fashion in Antarctica. Capture the amazing sight of penguins springing out of the water to colonise breeding grounds and thousands of birds on the wing. Herds of seals, families of whales, in fact all forms of wildlife seem to be on the move at this time. The whole spectacle is a joy for every nature lover and, of course, the landscape comes alive too. Dramatic moods of light and cloud formations are simply stunning. Glaciers carve new icebergs of all shapes and sizes and display an almost infinite range of blue and white hues.
