Cruise to Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands.

Cruises to Antarctica have recently become commonplace trips for more adventurous travelers. Titan Travel from the UK is currently offering a new twist to typical Antarctic excursions. In November 2009, as part of its “National Geographic Journeys by Sea” trips, Titan is offering a unique opportunity to experience Antarctica with legendary astronaut Neil Armstrong.

That’s right … you can take your own giant leap onto remote Antarctica with the man who, 40 years ago, took “… one giant leap for mankind …” onto the surface of the moon.

Departing November 15, 2009, this excursion promises an exceptional 26-day journey to the bottom of the world. The tour begins with a flight from London to Santiago, Chile followed by another flight to Ushuala, Argentina. where travelers will board the National Geographic Explorer for a 21-day cruise to South Georgia island, the Falkland Islands and Antarctica.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to follow in the footsteps of daring Antarctic explorers with reclusive astronaut Neil Armstrong, a heroic pioneer in his own right.

Tour prices start from £8,998 ($14,580 US) per person, double occupancy including the cruise operated by Lindblad Expeditions, two nights in 4-star+ hotels, all flights and door to door private transfers.
