Peregrine Adventures
The Galapagos
Discover your spirit of adventure on a seven- or 10-day Galapagos expedition voyage. Explore one of the world’s greatest marine reserves in a small group of 16 or fewer like-minded travellers, and with an expert English-speaking naturalist.
Using the eight-cabin Peregrine Endeavour as your base, spend as much time as possible cruising the wildlife-rich waterways by Zodiac inflatable boat, and exploring the enchanted isles on foot. See animal species in their natural habitats, including giant Galapagos tortoises, blue-footed and masked boobies, land and marine iguanas, sea lions, fur seals, whales, dolphins and sea turtles.
You can also combine a voyage with a small group tour on mainland Latin America such as the 13-day ‘Ecuador and Galapagos Explorer’, which will also take you to the lush equatorial jungles of the Amazon Basin, or 15-day ‘Galapagos with Cusco & the Sacred Valley’ to experience the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu in Peru.
Antarctica and the High Arctic
Peregrine is the polar experts because of its state-of-the-art working research vessels – the Peregrine Mariner and Peregrine Voyager, which are fast, quiet, stable and manoeuvrable. They carry small groups of no more than 110 passengers and expert leaders with hundreds of polar voyages between them. Go on frequent shore and Zodiac inflatable boat excursions, enjoy an onboard education program and open bridge access.
Antarctica is a magical world of giant icebergs, glimmering mountains and icy plains. In the Falklands black-browed albatross raise their chicks and in South Georgia king penguins and elephant seals line the shores. Discover wildlife populations in their natural sanctuaries while learning about the fascinating history of the region.
Among Peregrine’s Canadian and Scandinavian High Arctic adventures is the 10- or 11-night Spitsbergen Explorer, which ventures north of 80 degrees, high above the Arctic Circle, as far as the ice and weather permit, encountering polar bears along the way.
Sea kayaking, hiking, camping in Antarctica, visiting the remote communities of the Arctic and photography are just some of the other activities on these once-in-a-lifetime voyages.
