We are planning on escorting a trip to South Georgia and Antarctica on the Silver Explorer January 2016. This will be our sixth trip to Antarctica and we are looking forward to it as it has been a few years since we have been. I want a penguin in my lap again!
Expect the date to be around January 15 - 25, 2016 starting in that time frame. This is the time to go not any earlier or any later the date for 2015 was January 19th. That is the best time for combination South Georgia/Antarctica trips. This is a trip that sells out as soon as it is released. There is space on the regular Antarctica trips but the itineraries including South Georgia sell quickly. Going to Antarctica without going to South Georgia will probably mean you will want to go back again to visit South Georgia. That is where they have thousands of the KING penguins that are so amazing.
Last time I did this I had a waitlist in place at Silversea to make bookings the day that Silversea opened up the cruise for sale . They will NOT take waitlists ahead of time now so it is imperative that I am "ready to go" with my staff on the phone to call the second this opens.
I am anticipating this opening sometime in August, 2014. This is an expensive trip we cannot see pricing now for 2015 as it is all sold out. I anticipate in the $25,000 price range per person for the 18 day expedition.
Here is a link to the landing reports on the BK Website and you can link to a lot of information from there.

I have a list of some people already. If you have an interest you need to post here OR email me or your Brown and Keene consultant and tell me what type of cabin you want.
