Cuba’s capital Havana is a vibrant city teeming with beautiful if sometimes shabby colonial buildings, once the most heavily fortified city in the Americas. The city was founded by the Spanish in the 16th century and it is now a diverse and fascinating mix of castles, fortresses and Spanish colonial buildings intermingled with modern high rises. The Old City (Habana Vieja), with its narrow streets and overhanging balconies is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the centre of the original city.

Submitted by chimuadmin on Wed, 12/05/2018 - 06:52
While departing your Antarctica cruise from South America is the more affordable option, Australia and New Zealand both act as lesser known cruise gateways to visit the incredible sights of East Antarctica. Here you will board your vessel and travel directly to one of this planet’s most remote and incredible locations. Where: Hobart in Australia and Invercargill in New Zealand both host Antarctic cruise vessels heading south for the summer. A round trip cruise to this part of the world will take about 21 days all up, including 7 days crossing to Antarctica, stopping frequently to visit remote islands such as Macquarie, Snares, Auckland and Campbell.

Antarctic Circle cruises give you the opportunity to cross the most southerly point reached by Antarctic cruises, joining a select group of travellers and adventures who have journeyed and explored this far south. Follow in the wake of Captain James Cook, one of the first explorers to cross the Antarctic Polar Circle, as you set sail on an Antarctic Circle cruise bound for a latitude of 66° 33’ south.

Australian travellers seeking a longer and more immersive journey may love the adventure and variety offered on a cruise to the Antarctic Circle.

Head east for nearly 500 kilometres from South America’s southern Patagonian coast and you will reach the remote, isolated and ruggedly beautiful archipelago of the Falkland Islands. Falkland Islands Antarctica cruises allow you to explore these sparsely inhabited islands, with their rough windswept terrain, coastal wetlands, beautiful white sand beaches and dramatic rock faces set against stunning skies.

South Georgia and Falkland Islands

Submitted by chimuadmin on Wed, 12/05/2018 - 06:37

South Georgia and the Falkland Islands are completely remote and magical destinations, rich in diverse wildlife and history. Many longer Antarctic cruises will visit the Antarctic Peninsula along with South Georgia and the Falklands. However, some cruises visit without including Antarctica, ideal for travellers who have already been to the Peninsula and are seeking something new.

Australian travellers seeking a remote, rugged, and wildlife-rich destination may love the idea of a South Georgia and Falkland Islands cruise.
