    $49,880.00
    Pack your sense of intrigue and favorite photography gear for a 19-day expedition covering two of the most remote sub-Antarctic Island destinations. Witness wildlife on an incomparable scale on South Georgia, where elephant seals lumber, untold thousands of king penguins gather on a single beach, and Sir Ernest Shackleton rests for eternity. In the Falklands, discover vast colonies of nesting albatrosses and rockhopper penguins and visit isolated settlements where locals still live off the land. Itinerary departing on February 26, 2024 U.S. / Buenos Aires, Argentina Depart on an overnight flight to Buenos Aires. Settle into the Alvear Icon or similar before setting out on a guided tour of the city’s Beaux-Arts palaces and parks. Visit Recoleta—the final resting place of Argentina's iconic first lady, Eva Perón—and enjoy a private visit to El Zanjon de Granados, one of the city’s premier museums. In the early evening, we gather for an informal reception and a drink at the hotel.

Savor lunch onboard a private catamaran as you cruise the Channel, keeping an eye out for plump sea lions and sleek imperial cormorants. By day’s end, embark and settle into your floating expedition home base.

Visit the Bridge (nerve center of the ship and ideal for spotting wildlife), enjoy a massage, and listen in on informal gatherings with our naturalist staff as they discuss what to expect in the wilds of the Falklands. Spend time on deck scanning the horizon for petrels, penguins, and albatross. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner DAYS 5 and 6 - Falkland Islands Everything we love about expedition travel comes together in the western Falkland Islands. Where else can you land on a beach tucked into a rocky cove, hike out across a rolling green pasture, and suddenly find yourself at the crest of a sea cliff looking out over the South Atlantic surf? Just a few steps further and you’re standing at the edge of a breeding colony of black-browed albatross, so close that you can hear the wind on their wings as they swoop in to land beside you. Check out the thousands of irresistible gentoo, rockhopper, and Magellanic penguins that congregate here, along with magnificent albatrosses and fur seals. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner DAYS 7 and 8 - At Sea Expedition days at sea are an invitation to pause, catch a breath, and absorb some of the experiences we've already accumulated before marching off on a range of new ones. It’s a great time to get to learn about the history of Antarctic exploration and the flora, fauna, and geology of our next destination: South Georgia. Learn from our naturalists how to identify the seabirds that inevitably follow us there: wandering albatrosses, prions, and others. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner DAYS 9 through 13 - South Georgia Island Explore the spectacular coastline of South Georgia Island. Our schedule is flexible with opportunities for walking, hiking, kayaking, and Zodiac excursions.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner DAYS 16 and 17- Falklands / At Sea With whales beneath and birds above, head up to the bridge, or spend these days enjoying the ship’s spa, fitness center, library, and observation deck. After time at sea, our journey across the South Atlantic Ocean takes us once more to the island archipelago that teems with nature. In the afternoon, we visit Stanley, the bright, pretty capital of the Falkland Islands, a charming outpost of British culture tucked into a small bay on the shore of these windswept islands in the far South Atlantic. Many Falkland Islanders still live in very traditional ways, and we’ll have a chance to visit a small farm to see some expert sheep shearing and learn about the best techniques for cutting blocks of peat for the fire. The rocky hills and white sand beaches outside town offer some excellent hikes, and afterward a cup of tea or a pint at the local tavern goes down very nicely. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner DAYS 18 AND 19 - Ushuaia, Argentina / Disembark / Fly to Buenos Aires, After breakfast, disembark in Ushuaia and transfer to the airport for our private charter flight to Santiago or Buenos Aires to connect with your overnight flight home.

Forged in steel, the 38mm Bathyscaphe is equipped with the renowned self-winding Calibre 1150, which has acquired a reputation for robustness. The 43mm version is crafted from grey ceramic and powered by Calibre 1315, a technical and precision timekeeping benchmark in the realm of luxury sports watches. Movements in both watches are visible through a sapphire case-back revealing a sandblasted, satin-finished and snailed gold oscillating weight engraved with the Blancpain logo, along with snailed and beveled bridges.

    Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime lunch for you and a guest with award-winning actor, and Oceana Board Member Sam Waterston at the world-renowned Blue Hill at Stone Barns. This exclusive dining experience offers the rare opportunity to share an intimate meal and engaging conversation with one of America's most celebrated actors and passionate ocean advocates.  Lunch with Sam Waterston  As a member of Oceana's Board of Directors, Waterston brings extraordinary talent, influence, and dedication to advancing the organization's mission to protect and restore the world's oceans.  "I've loved the ocean all my life," explains Waterston. "As a New Englander, I've seen the nasty effects of fisheries collapse on the life of seaside towns. Scientists now warn us that unless we do something, the world is on a path to global fishery collapses by mid-century, a calamity of mind-boggling proportions we can still avert. The time to act is now, which is why I'm very happy to be working with an organization as effective as Oceana."  Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Waterston attended Brooks School and Groton School before earning a scholarship to Yale University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1962.
