Flock to Marion Island cruise Jan 2025
Perhaps a bit late notice, but some may be interested in this opportunity.
Birdlife South Africa is organizing a 8 day cruise to Marion Island in the Southern Ocean, from Jan 24-31. It is a good chance to see some rather rarely seen whales (14 species seen in 2022), as well as Subantarctic Seal and Southern elephant seal. This trip has only happened once before in 2022. They saw 53 species of birds, primarily pelagic species (albatross, petrels, shearwaters, penguins). It leaves from Durban. The cruise line has 2 person cabins available for about $900 (ZAR 15,869) per person if 2 people share, but the price is $1400 (ZAR 25,229) if only 1 person occupies a cabin.
I could be convinced to go if someone is willing to share a cabin with me.
