Romantic Adventures: Exploring South Georgia and the Falklands with Lindblad Expeditions

Embark on a sailing expedition to South Georgia and the Falklands with Lindblad Expeditions.

Lindblad Expeditions: South Georgia & the Falklands Aboard National Geographic Explorer

Spring is the time for lovers, and a voyage to South Georgia and the Falklands in spring is the best time to see raucous penguin courtship behavior — with pairs proceeding from courting to mating and building nests of small pebbles, with much comic pebble stealing among neighbors. Penguins mate for life, huddle in large masses (stick together through sickness, health and adverse weather) and share all responsibilities for their baby. What could be a more sincere display of love?

Romantic experiences: Everywhere you turn, a picture-perfect moment awaits. Stand in awe at the sight of the huge bergs. Paddle in a double-seated kayak for a close-up look at the ice. Go for an invigorating hike along mountain passes. See the courtship display of wandering albatross. At day’s end, have a champagne toast on your private balcony. Snuggle up in your parkas. Ah, romance!
