Vinson of Antarctica in Antarctica

Our end of season is approaching. Both Vinson of Antarctica and Amundsen will be leaving soon from the Falkland Islands for the delivery to Cape Town for their annual service. Both will have RYA Ocean Yachtmaster students (mature) on board for this popular programme that includes the formal course in a classroom, a cruise in the Falklands and then the trip across the pond to the ‘Tavern of the Seas.’ See below for those two trips on offer for March/April 2026.
