Cruise South Shetland Islands.

Visit destinations like South Shetland Islands.

The South Shetland Islands are a group of islands in the Southern Ocean between the Antarctic Peninsula and South Georgia Island, without much flora or fauna, because of the harsh, cold and windy climate.

The Falkland Islands, South Georgia, South Orkney Islands and South Shetland Islands are all claimed by (far-away) Great Britain and (nearby) Argentina.

Cruise with onboard Food, Activities and Excursions

Cruises come in different shapes and sizes, from 10-deck sea cruises with 4000+ passengers to 2 deck river cruises with approx. 100 people. Sometimes the ship itself is the destination, sometimes the sea-scapes, ports and land excursions are the main attraction. This is usually an all-inclusive vacation, with exception of expensive cocktails.
