Join Mark Carwardine and expert friends
on a very special expedition to the Falkland Islands,
South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula
30 October – 18 November 2015 (plus travel to and from Ushuaia, in Argentina)
“This will be my 23rd visit to the frozen south, and I’ve combined all the very best wildlife and wild places in this one
outstanding trip. If you’re going to make the journey to the bottom of the world you might as well do it properly –
as once-in-a-lifetime experiences go, it doesn’t get much better.” Mark Carwardine
We have exclusively chartered the 92-passenger Akademik Sergey
Vavilov – a comfortable and ice-strengthened polar expedition ship –
for this wonderful, far-reaching 19-night expedition cruise. We’ll visit
prime sites in the Falkland Islands, around the remote island of South
Georgia, along the breathtakingly beautiful Antarctic Peninsula and in
the South Shetland Islands to see a mind-boggling variety of wildlife
and wild places.
We’ll have loads of time ashore and plenty of opportunity to enjoy
the overwhelming scenery of ice-choked waterways, glaciers, blue
and white icebergs, and some of the most impressive mountains on
the planet – all in long hours of daylight. Along the way, we’ll mingle
with literally hundreds of thousands of penguins, meet 20-foot-long
elephant seals, cross the Antarctic Convergence, navigate the
famous Drake Passage, sail across the Scotia Sea, round Cape Horn,
set foot on the White Continent itself, meet researchers at scientific
bases, visit Ernest Shackleton’s grave, and enjoy an outstanding
schedule of entertaining and informative lectures, talks, workshops
and seminars by top polar and wildlife experts, professional
photographers and film-makers. Our journey begins and ends in
Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, in Argentina's
Tierra del Fuego.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Travel on Mark’s exclusively chartered, very comfortable and
safe, ice-strengthened polar expedition ship – the Akademik
Sergey Vavilov.
• Wonderfully varied Southern Ocean journey with superb wildlife
watching in a spectacular polar setting.
• A record-breaking 19 nights on board the ship – giving much more
time to explore than most comparable trips.
• Enormous rookeries of king, macaroni, gentoo, chinstrap and adélie
penguins (we also hope to see magellanic and rockhopper penguins).
• Fabulous close encounters with Weddell, crabeater, leopard,
southern elephant and Antarctic fur seals.
• Wandering, royal, black-browed, grey-headed and light-mantled
sooty albatrosses accompany the ship.
• Wide variety of cetaceans likely, including: fin, sei, humpback,
Antarctic minke and orca (several different ecotypes), as well as
hourglass, Peale’s and Commerson’s dolphins (previous trips Mark
has led to this part of the world have also seen southern
rightwhale dolphins, southern right whales, long-finned pilot whales,
sperm whales, southern bottlenose whales and even Cuvier’s
beaked whales).

• We will be joined by top natural history
filmmaker Peter Bassett (producer of
many of David Attenborough’s most
famous programmes) who will make a
wonderful film of the trip for you to take
home afterwards); award-winning
landscape photographer Joe Cornish;
former editor of BBC Wildlife magazine
and professional editor/writer Roz
Kidman Cox (who will write a detailed
diary of the trip); manager and trip
administrator Rachel Ashton (who will
also make a fun timelapse of the
trip – three weeks compressed into
six minutes!); and a resident team of
polar experts.
• Exciting cruises in inflatable Zodiacs
among towering, sculpted icebergs and
breathtaking ice floes, and for up-close
encounters with seals, penguins, whales,
and other wildlife.
• Learn first-hand about the remarkable
history of the region and meet scientists
working at active field stations.
• Good-sized and exceptionally stable
ship for comfortable sea crossings (ships
that are too small take considerably
longer and give a rougher ride).
• Spend maximum time ashore (larger
ships offer slightly cheaper tours but have
so many passengers they need to
operate a shift system, which means that
each passenger has far fewer landings
and much less time ashore – plus
they can’t get into many more remote
areas that are inaccessible to such
large vessels).
• Fabulous photographic and video
opportunities, with special tuition and
workshops by Mark, Joe Cornish and
other well known experts.
• We lend you all the appropriate
polar outdoor clothing – jacket, trousers
and boots.
ITINERARY
The cruise itinerary is outlined below
(please bear in mind that we strongly
advise you to arrive a day early – we
can help with an optional flight and
hotel package).
Fri 30: There will be time to explore
Ushuaia, on the north shore of the Beagle
Channel, near the southernmost tip of
South America, before boarding the
Akademik Sergey Vavilov late in the
afternoon. After becoming familiar with
our home for the next 20 days, we
depart early in the evening for the
Falkland Islands.
Sat 31: Our first day at sea, watching for
whales, dolphins, albatrosses, petrels,
prions, and other wildlife. There will be
lots of photographic opportunities, as
myriad seabirds follow the ship.
Meanwhile, our onboard lectures,
workshops and presentations begin,
covering everything from Antarctic wildlife
and heroic stories of some of the early
polar explorers to photography, filmmaking and writing.
Sun 01: Arriving in the Falklands
overnight, by morning we are ready to
make our first shore landings: Bleaker
Island, which is home to magellanic,
gentoo and rockhopper penguins and a
large imperial cormorant colony, and is
one of the few places where the rare
flying steamer duck can be observed;
and Sea Lion Island, best known for its
large breeding colony of southern
elephant seals and its resident orcas. We
also have a good chance of seeing
Commerson’s and Peale’s dolphins today.
We'll also have a short stop in Port
Stanley, the colourful capital of the
Falkland Islands.
Mon 02 - Tue 03: Now we sail southeast, bound for the remote island of
South Georgia, watching for wildlife along
the way and enjoying more lectures,
workshops and presentations.
Wed 04 - Sun 08: We have five full days
to explore South Georgia. A mere speck
in the immensity of the Southern Ocean,
this extraordinary island is remote by any
standards. It has an ethereal beauty that
is nothing short of breathtaking and, with
50 million seabirds and more than 5
million seals, is home to some of the
greatest concentrations of wildlife on the
planet. There are animals everywhere –
from wandering albatrosses and
macaroni penguins to southern elephant
seals and endemic South Georgia pipits –
and they are so unconcerned by our
presence that most of them merely stand
and stare or come and take a closer look.
We hope to see the writhing mass of
Antarctic fur seals at picturesque Elsehul,
visit Sir Ernest Shackleton’s grave at
Grytviken, mingle with a mind-boggling
150,000 pairs of king penguins at St.
Andrew’s Bay, wander among the myriad
wildlife at stunning Gold Harbour, and
much, much more. The colour, the noise,
the smell and the commotion of these
unforgettable five days guarantees
sensory overload at every turn.
2
Mon 09 - Wed 11: Now we
cross the Scotia Sea,
heading south-west towards
the Antarctic Peninsula.
There will be more wildlifewatching along the way, as
well as lectures, workshops
and presentations. We will
cross the Antarctic
Convergence, a biological
barrier where cold polar
waters sink beneath the
warmer waters of the
temperate zone; beyond the
Convergence, the world
changes as signs of the
frozen south arrive – we
start to see little blocks of
ice, then larger blocks, then
proper tabular icebergs.
Thu 12 - Sun 15: We
explore the beautiful and
wildlife-rich South Shetland
Islands. Here we visit
enormous adélie, chinstrap
and gentoo penguin
rookeries, land on beaches
ruled by Antarctic fur seals
and observe wallowing
southern elephant seals.
A highlight will be sailing into
the other-worldly flooded
caldera of Deception
Island – through a
nerve-wrackingly narrow
entrance often patrolled by
humpback whales – to see
more penguins and
Antarctic fur seals. Then we
sail across Bransfield Strait
and on to the Antarctic
Peninsula, one of the world’s
great, undisturbed wildlife
paradises. We’ll visit
enormous penguin
rookeries, and see
blue-eyed shags, kelp gulls,
cape petrels, snowy
sheathbills and many other
birds. We’ll cruise in our
inflatable Zodiacs among
other-worldly icebergs or
past crabeater, Weddell and
leopard seals hauled out on
ice floes. And we hope to
have close encounters with
orcas, humpback whales
and Antarctic minke whales.
Mon 16 - Tue 17: We leave
the magical world of
Antarctica and head back
across the famous Drake
Passage, watching for
whales, dolphins,
albatrosses and other
wildlife. We round Cape
Horn, where we make a
short stop just offshore –
quietly contemplating this
notorious landmark and
perhaps observing the
Peale’s dolphins and large
numbers of seabirds that
often gather in the area.
Then we make our way
back along the Beagle
Channel towards Ushuaia.
Wed 18: We bid farewell to
the staff and crew of the
Akademik Sergey Vavilov
and, after breakfast,
disembark in Ushuaia.
Please note: this tour is
highly weather-, sea- and
ice-dependent. Although we
will stick to the itinerary as
closely as possible, it may
change to make the most of
local conditions. It’s part of
the fun of polar exploration!
SHIP DETAILS
The Akademik Sergey
Vavilov is a modern, safe,
comfortable, icestrengthened vessel,
like a floating wilderness
lodge. It is ideally suited for
polar exploration. Over the
years, Mark has travelled on
many of the vessels
available for polar
adventures, and rates the
Vavilov as one of the best
ships working in the region.
Built in Finland in 1988,
and recently refitted and
refurbished, she is designed
to be exceptionally stable –
which is great news for long
sea crossings! Her highly
sophisticated internal
stabilizers and built-in ballast
trimming system reduce
motion significantly and
ease the way. The Vavilov is
also remarkably quiet, with
very little ambient noise in
the cabins and public areas.
There is ample deck
space, with viewing areas
on each passenger level of
the ship, while the bridge
and chart room are open to
everyone virtually 24 hours a
day. The bridge is excellent
for sightseeing and viewing
wildlife – expedition staff will
be on duty most of the time,
watching for wildlife and
ready to answer questions.
Binoculars and identification
guides are also available.
The public areas are
expansive and filled with
natural light. They include a
fabulous bar and lounge on
deck 6, with incredible 180degree views; tea and coffee
are available here 24 hours a
day. There is also a wellappointed library (with large
windows overlooking the
bow deck and the inevitably
breathtaking scene beyond),
a gift shop, a multi-media
centre (with Apple Mac
computers freely available,
together with a DVD/CD
burner and photo printer),
a well-equipped gym, hot
tub and a tiny sauna.
Briefings and lectures are
held in a large presentation
room, with the latest in
digital technology.
There is also a full
complement of Zodiacs
(rigid-hulled inflatable boats)
aboard, for breathtaking ice
and wildlife cruises, and to
take everyone ashore.
The 117-metre vessel is
maintained to the highest
standards and kept
immaculately clean. She has
a crew and staff of 63 – the
passenger-to-staff ratio is
one of the highest in the
industry – and there is an
extremely high level of
personal service. Attention
to detail is second-to-none,
yet the atmosphere on
board is extremely relaxed
and informal.
The Akademik Sergey
Vavilov has an impressive
maximum cruising speed of
14.5 knots. With a bowthruster and a stern multidirectional propulsion unit,
and twin controllable-pitch
propellers, she is also
incredibly maneuverable. It’s
the perfect set-up for wildlife
watching – and getting into
(and out of) tight corners!
Safety is a priority, of
course. The Akademik
Sergey Vavilov is a Russianflagged vessel and carries all
3
current certifications required by Russian and
international maritime law for ensuring
passenger safety and well-being. An
extremely experienced captain and crew, and
an ice-strengthened hull (Lloyds Register 1A,
Canadian Type B) provide an
exceptionally safe
combination for polar
expedition cruising. Safety
and emergency equipment
on board the vessel is
inspected and tested on a
regular basis and there are
two fully-enclosed lifeboats
with a total capacity of 132,
as well as four life rafts with a
total capacity of 200. There is also a small
infirmary and a crew doctor, who is available
to provide a basic and emergency medical
service.
And, finally, the Vavilov is built and operated
to be as environmentally friendly as possible,
from using Marine Grade Fuel (the highest
grade marine fuel with the lowest emissions)
to the ecologically sensitive cleaning supplies
used by the cabin stewards.
ACCOMMODATION
There is a choice of comfortable, fresh and
clean cabins (triple, twin or superior) as well
as suites, on four different decks (please see
the ship’s deck plan for more details). All are
tastefully and pleasantly decorated and
furnished, with a writing desk and chair and
ample storage. All of them have opening
windows (except triple cabins, which have
opening portholes) with some of the most
spectacular views in the world! Some have
sofa-beds, which are the size of normal beds,
and just as comfortable, but double-up as
sofas during the day (they are converted
every evening by the cabin stewards, while
we are eating dinner). Bathrobes, as well as a
toiletry kit, hairdryer and coffee/tea maker
are provided in all cabins (only bathrobes in
triple cabins).
Triple cabin (2 available): two bunk
beds and one sofa-bed, washbasin.
Shared facilities.
Twin share cabin (6 available):
two bunk beds, washbasin. Shared
facilities.
Twin semi-private cabin
(12 available): one single bed and
one sofa-bed. Facilities shared with
one other cabin (the bathroom is inbetween the two cabins – so you
don’t have to walk through a public
area).
Twin private cabin
(17 available): two single beds.
Private facilities.
Superior cabin (3 available): two
single beds, sofa. Private facilities.
Shackleton Suite (5 available): very
spacious with separate sleeping quarters,
with one double bed and one sofa-bed.
Private facilities.
One Ocean Suite (1 available): very
spacious with separate sleeping quarters,
with one double-bed and one sofa-bed.
Private facilities with a bathtub. This cabin
has windows (which can be opened)
overlooking the bow.
MEALS
All meals aboard ship are included. The
window-lined dining room (which can seat
everyone in one sitting) is catered by
international chefs, offering a daily choice of
cuisine. The food is excellent, varied and
tasty, with plenty of healthy options made
with fresh ingredients.
LEADERS
Mark Carwardine will be hosting the trip and
will also give lectures and run workshops. He
will be accompanied by Britain’s
best-known landscape
photographer Joe Cornish
(owner of his own photographic
gallery and author of many
books); Roz Kidman Cox (former
editor of BBC Wildlife magazine,
now wildlife writer and editor)
who will write a detailed diary of
the holiday; wildlife-film-maker
Peter Bassett (producer of the
BBC Natural History Unit’s Life of Birds, Life
in the Undergrowth and Life in the Freezer,
among many others) who will be making a
video of our trip for everyone to take home
afterwards; and Rachel Ashton (manager and
trip administrator) who will be making a fun
timelapse of our trip. They will all be sharing
their extensive knowledge, expertise and
stories during the trip. There will be a highly
experienced resident polar expedition team
on board, too.
GROUP SIZE
There will be approximately 92 passengers
on the ship altogether, plus Mark and his
team.
WHY THIS TRIP?
We’ve designed what we believe to be the
ultimate trip to the frozen south – in three
packed weeks you’ll get to see the very best
the region has to offer. We have no fewer
than 19 nights on board (instead of the usual
16, 17 or occasionally 18 nights on other
trips). We’ll spend much more time ashore
than most comparable trips (you don’t have
to do every landing, of course, and you don’t
have to stay for the maximum time, but we
believe in giving you the opportunity to see
and do as much as possible). We also have
our own team of experts on board, who will
provide you with a professionally produced
film and timelapse of the trip, as well as a
diary written by a professional writer, to take
home afterwards. And, as if that’s not
enough, we’re only going to do this once!
WHY NOVEMBER?
The Antarctic season runs from November to
mid-March (the southern spring and
summer). Mark has visited the region in every
month and each has its own special
highlights. But November is particularly good
for several reasons. It’s the start of the
season and an adventurous time to travel.
There is plenty of daylight (we plan to use all
of it!) and the snow is pristine. The beautifully
sculpted icebergs, emerging from their winter
hibernation, are particularly impressive (and
they frequently have legions of penguins
clinging to their slippery slopes). The wildlife
activity is really good, too – there will be lots
of courting penguins, fur seal pups are being
4
born and, on South Georgia, it is the only
time to see the 20-foot-long male
elephant seals fighting on the beaches.
It’s also outstandingly good for
photography, because we should get a
few lovely snowstorms as well as
the usual mix of sunny days and
overcast days.
WEATHER AND SEA CONDITIONS
The weather where we’re going is highly
variable – we’re likely to get a bit of
everything (bright sunshine, cloud, rain
and snow). But we will be exploring the
wildlife-rich eastern (leeward) side of
South Georgia, which has a much more
pleasant climate than the exposed
western side, and the mildest part of the
Antarctic continent. Temperatures in
November typically range from 0ºC to
7ºC (but could be colder or warmer).
With appropriate clothing (which we
provide) this can be exhilarating and not
at all uncomfortable.
We’ll have quite a few days at sea (the
rest of the trip – most of it, in fact – is
spent in much calmer, sheltered waters
close to shore). Sea conditions are hard
to predict, of course. Mark has made
these crossings more times than he can
remember: one Drake crossing (many
years ago, much later in the season) was
very bad, a few have been rough enough
to make about a fifth of the passengers
feel sick, many have been with a slight
swell but perfectly comfortable, and quite
a few have been glassy calm.
Most importantly, we have a good-sized
ship with highly sophisticated stablizers
and a built-in ballast trimming system to
reduce motion and ease the way (the
Vavilov is built to be exceptionally stable).
A TYPICAL DAY ON BOARD
Imagine a comfortable hotel with two
members of staff to every three guests,
spectacular views out of every window,
superb international cuisine, and a range
of facilities including a well-stocked library
and a multi-media room. Then move the
hotel to a different wild and remote
location every day, add a team of
international experts on everything from
polar exploration and photography to
birds and seals, throw in many once-in-alifetime experiences such as whale
watching, penguin watching, Zodiac
cruises, visits to scientific research
stations … and you begin to get the idea.
Admittedly, the cruise can be challenging.
One of the problems with visiting the
Southern Ocean in summer, for example,
is the long hours of daylight. The problem
has nothing to do with being unable to
sleep (the cabins can be darkened
completely), but it has a lot to do with not
wanting to sleep. Even after a full day of
adventure, with the ship well on its way to
the next breathtaking destination, you do
not want to sleep for fear of missing
something. You want to be on deck, or
on the bridge, to glimpse just one more
iceberg or one more penguin, to watch
the vessel pick its way through one more
icy stretch of sea or to take just one
more front cover photograph, before the
next adventure.
A typical day on the cruise – if, indeed,
there is a typical day – is likely to begin
with a friendly wake-up call and
breakfast. Everyone will have been
briefed the night before, and a written
itinerary will have been posted on the
noticeboard, so talk will be of the
adventures ahead. The morning typically
begins with a call to get ready for the first
shore landing of the day, when we don
our warm-weather gear and wellie boots.
We carry a fleet of sturdy Zodiac craft
to transfer expedition staff and
passengers quickly and safely to
otherwise inaccessible wildlife sites. At
first, many people worry about getting in
and out of the Zodiacs with their cameras
and their pride intact. But, after the
first – often hilarious – attempts at
stepping ashore gracefully, with the help
of the staff and crew it soon becomes
second nature.
Many people stay ashore for the
maximum time allowed – typically from
two to five hours depending on the
weather and the day’s itinerary – but
others are ready to return to the Vavilov
sooner. The Zodiacs make good
water-taxis and ferry people backwards
and forwards according to demand.
There is absolutely no pressure, because
everyone does their own thing on
shore: some go for a walk and explore,
others prefer to sit quietly and observe or
take pictures.
There’s time to change and clean up
before lunch, while the ship cruises to the
next spectacular venue. Be prepared,
though, for frequent interruptions by
some amazing views and spectacular
5
wildlife spied through the panoramic
windows. It’s the ultimate comfortable
adventure: few holidays offer such
awe-inspiring and ever-changing scenery
over a single meal.
The afternoon’s activities might include a
second shore landing at a different site, or a
Zodiac cruise (a highlight of many trips is the
opportunity to cruise through beautiful ice
scenery, past seals sleeping on ice floes, or
among whales). Whatever the activity, by the
time supper arrives, everyone will be talking
animatedly about the adventures of the day.
There may be another shore landing or
Zodiac cruise after dinner, otherwise evenings
are for relaxing. Curl up with a good book,
spend a few hours chatting in the bar or
attend a presentation in the auditorium.
Alternatively, you could always spend a few
more bracing hours on the deck, or on the
bridge, looking for just one more iceberg, one
more group of seals on the ice, or one more
whale ... before forcing yourself to turn in for
the night. Either that, or you could stay up all
night and sleep when you get home.
