A rich Falkland Islands and South Georgia wilderness experience on board the Magellan Explorer Antarctic cruise ship for 15D/14N starting at $9,990.00 per person.
Start your high-end wilderness adventure in the Falklands Islands and South Georgia.
Feeling more like private yachts than cruise ships, small expedition vessels give you privileged access to the islands of the South Atlantic, taking you where larger ships cannot. With a smaller number of passengers, disembarkation is fast and efficient so you spend time exploring, not waiting.
Strong and agile, Magellan Explorer has been developed from the ground up as the ideal platform for air-cruise operations. Several international polar expedition experts have contributed to the design of the ship. Working with designers, engineers, and naval architects, they developed a wide range of technical solutions designed to enhance the expedition experience of guests.
She is the world’s first expedition ship custom designed for Antarctic air-cruise operations. The ship provides a stylish base for our guests’ adventures, combining excellence in expedition and boutique hospitality.

7-night Sea of Cortes Island-Hopping Mexico Adventure Cruise
Between Baja California and mainland Mexico lies a sea so alive that Jacques Cousteau called it “the world’s aquarium.” The Sea of Cortés is a place of startling contrasts — scarlet cliffs rising from turquoise water, whales gliding past desert islands, and pelicans cutting across the dawn. The landscape feels prehistoric, as if time has paused between wind, tide, and volcanic stone. This voyage moves through that stillness — a week of islands, coves, and hidden beaches connected by salt water and starlight.
