OVERVIEW

Experience the highlights of the Antarctic Peninsula on an expedition cruise designed for exploration and wildlife viewing. Sailing roundtrip from Ushuaia, this journey takes you across the Drake Passage to a region of towering icebergs, glaciers and remote landing sites.

With a strong focus on wildlife, discovery and time spent in the heart of Antarctica, this voyage offers an excellent introduction to the White Continent.

ITINERARY

Fly to Ushuaia & Embarkation

This morning, you will be picked up from your hotel and transferred to the airport in time for your charter flight to Ushuaia. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to the cruise ship for embarkation.

Nestled in the foothills of the snow-capped Martial Range, Ushuaia’s colourful streets and mismatched buildings cascade from the imposing mountains before coming to an abrupt halt at the shores of the Beagle Channel. As one of the world’s southernmost cities, Ushuaia carries its ‘end of the world’ reputation well. The moody weather and dramatic surroundings certainly help.
