OVERVIEW

Experience the very best of Antarctica on this 13 day voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula. On board the fully refurbished Seaventure, you experience the very best in expedition cruising. From zodiac landings in quaint penguin  rookeries, to cruising near towering icebergs and kayaking near impressive glaciers, no two experiences are the same. Experience the serene beauty and transformative nature of this surreal landscape. 

This tour itinerary has 2 nights in Ushuaia included at the 5* Arakur Hotel prior to the incredible Antarctic voyage. Situated in the exclusive Cerro Alarkén Nature Reserve, a natural balcony 800-feet above sea level, the Arakur Resort and Spa is much more than just a five-star hotel. This unforgettable experience is surrounded by breathtaking panoramic vistas, natural terraces, native woods, and green spaces that blend in perfectly with the surroundings. It is the perfect way to start your trip before embarking on your way to icy vistas of Antarctica.

ITINERARY

Arrival in Ushuaia

No need to stress about missed connections or flight delays as you arrive in the southernmost city in the world with an extra day to unwind and enjoy Ushuaia’s finest luxury hotel, the Arakur Resort & Spa. Relax in the infinity pool, explore the hiking trails surrounding the resort, or head out and discover the southernmost city in the world.

Ushuaia

Explore the sights of Ushuaia, visit the museums and Argentinean leather markets, or continue relaxing at the hotel. Our evening briefing at the Arakur is your opportunity to ask questions and meet some of your fellow explorers.

Embarkation in Ushuaia

Spend your morning exploring Ushuaia or unwinding at the resort until our mid-afternoon escort to the ship. Our Expedition Team and ship staff will welcome you on board and get you settled in, followed by a safety and orientation briefing and our Captain’s welcome dinner. We’re on our way to Antarctica!

Drake Passage – Day 4 & 5

Join our Polar Experts as they share their vast knowledge of Antarctica, from its enchanting wildlife to its bold history. Participate in our pioneering Citizen Science program, or sit back and take in this fabled journey while catching glimpses of rarely-seen wildlife. Keep your binoculars handy to identify the many seabirds that escort our ship as we cross the Antarctic Convergence into Antarctica’s waters and noticeably cooler temperatures, your cue to get ready for that first iceberg sighting, an unforgettable moment on every journey.

South Shetland Islands - Day 6 & 7

Over time, the volcanic activity of the South Shetland Islands has created a geology unlike any other. Here, you can expect a spectacular display of mountains, glaciers, and wildlife including Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins; and it’s not uncommon to share the water’s edge with Elephant and Fur seals. Whales are often spotted as well. So, we’ll settle into our Zodiacs and spend most of our day exploring. And kayakers, it’s time to get your first taste of gliding just inches off the pristine Antarctic water. Whether on land or sea, in zodiac or kayak, be prepared for a fully immersive introduction to this incomparable part of the world.

Immersive Antarctica - Day 8 to 10

Welcome to Antarctica in all its awe-inspiring glory. For the next few days, we’ll explore any number of picturesque bays and famed harbors, maneuvering through majestic channels, where glorious icebergs and an array of beguiling wildlife share the highly active waters. Prepare to be amazed as we spot numerous species of penguins, seals, and whales, both along the rugged coastline as well as in the sea. There are great opportunities to stop at several active scientific bases and historic landing sites, and we plan to take full advantage of all the continent offers.

Drake Passage - Day 11 & 12

We leave this magical place and make our way north, once again crossing the legendary Drake Passage. We have one last hurrah as we celebrate the conclusion of our expedition with a special slideshow and a final meal together.

Disembarkation in Ushuaia

With huge smiles on weary, content faces, we disembark in the morning, letting you catch a flight to Buenos Aires or stay in Ushuaia for more sights and adventure.

 MS Seaventure

MS Seaventure

With the highest ice class rating and modern German-Japanese design, the MS Seaventure offers a smooth and comfortable experience across the Drake. Taking only 138 guests, this ship offers a friendly and welcoming Antarctic experience, paired with a high crew-to-guest ratio, gourmet dining, and a huge wraparound deck, ideal for photography and citizen science.

 

Image removed.  WHY WE LOVE THE MS SEAVENTURE

  • With a 1-A super Ice class rated hull and innovative design, you can travel both fast and in comfort, maximising your time in Antarctica   
  • Lower-level wraparound decks are ideally placed for wildlife viewing, easily accessible from throughout the ship  
  • No internal cabins, stylish interiors, and evening fine dining means you don’t need to sacrifice luxury to have an Antarctic expedition cruise

 

Image removed.  FEATURES OF THE MS SEAVENTURE 

 

Speed and comfort

Optimised entirely for Antarctic voyages, the heavy steel of the MS Seaventure cuts through the Drake Passage with ease. State-of-the-art marine retractable stabilisers reduce movement significantly inside the ship, rendering the voyage across the Drake not only more efficient but smoother than most other expedition ships.

Education and science focused

Citizen science is world-class on the MS Seaventure with six separate projects throughout the journey. Each guest on board can be involved and gain a deep understanding of the location whilst sending data back to significant scientific organisations to help with their critical research on Antarctica. Each journey also offers onboard scientific and educational lectures.

Friendly and inclusive travel environment

This is not an 'us and them' cruise; your expedition crew will dine with guests during meal times, sharing their personal insights into Antarctica and getting to know the people they are travelling with. Breaking down walls and building a more family feel as you travel to the most enigmatic place on earth - together.

7:1 traveller to expedition staff ratio

Thanks to a 7:1 traveller to expedition staff ratio, coordinating excursions is the number one priority and unless weather conditions prevent it, guests will spend up to six hours a day off the ship and immersed in Antarctica.

Spacious outdoor viewing

A full wraparound deck, close to the water, is a must have in Antarctica and a photographer's dream. The MS Seaventure's deck is on the lower decks, offering brilliant viewing of wildlife and Antarctica as it happens in 360 degrees. That way, you won't be stuck in only one space and when the captain announces ‘orcas’, you can be outside in a flash! 

Luxury amenities and inviting cabins

The rooms are designed to cater for all tastes and include many balcony rooms on the higher levels, away from ocean spray that can be encountered on the Drake Passage, offering higher comfort and security for deluxe travellers. You’ll also enjoy exceptional cuisine and lots of common areas for lectures and socialising.

 

OPTIONAL ACTIVITES

Enhance your immersive experience with an optional activity in Antarctica whilst travelling on the MS Seaventure. 

Kayaking & Camping are at an extra cost but, due to their popularity, are limited in space and can book out quickly.
