People often ask me, ‘Dan, what is your favorite trip?’ And to be fair, it’s a very very tough question for me to answer since I am absolutely elated by simple pleasures like backpacking in the Colorado wilderness, canoeing in Minnesota, and lounging on a beach at Bodega Bay in California. But if I have to pick one, it was my expedition to Antarctica, the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia in 1998. It amazed me and everyone else on board from every angle. It was one of those rare trips that you can call “perfect.” There was nothing to change since everything was ‘just right’ – the dreamlike scenery; the feelings evoked in being in the world’s last, great true wilderness; the spectacular wildlife; the professional crew; my happy fellow passengers: everything. There is no greater glory in travel than standing on a remote beach surrounded by 100,000 massive squawking colorful King Penguins sandwiched between a surreal panorama of Patagonia-like peaks and the wild blues of the South Atlantic with stark white icebergs looming in the bay.
So I am particularly thrilled to announce a fantastic “2 for 1” last minute special for a November 3-22, 2012 Antarctica, Falklands, and South Georgia 20-day expedition on our preferred expedition vessel, the rugged but eminently comfortable M/v Plancius.
Here is how it works: when you reserve spaces for 2 people, you pay for only one! Single travelers (willing to share a cabin) also benefit by receiving 40 % off (plus the fuel supplement).
This expedition currently has the following cabins / berths available:
- 4 superior cabins = 8 berths (USD 16,750 for a berth – all prices below are for 1 space, so divide by 2 for the real per person cost for 2 travelers)*
- 1 space in a twin window cabin sharing / female = 1 berth (USD 14,190)
- 1 space in a twin window cabin sharing / male = 1 berth (USD 14,190)
- 1 space in a twin porthole cabin sharing / female = 1 berth (USD 13,650)
- 2 spaces in a quadruple cabin sharing with females = 2 berths (USD 11,450)
- 1 space in a quadruple cabin sharing with males = 1 berth (USD 11,450)
* Superior cabins have 1 double bed and can only be booked with 2 persons traveling together or as single occupancy. Note also that there is a fuel surcharge on the trip of US$ 475 per person.
