NOTE: Itinerary Is Subject To Change Depending On Weather & Ice Conditions
Experience the Antarctic Peninsula through daily landings, Zodiac cruises and close-up wildlife encounters onboard the SH Minerva. Sailing from Ushuaia, you'll cross the Drake Passage while enjoying expert presentations, wildlife spotting opportunities and expedition briefings. Keep watch from the decks for wandering albatrosses, petrels and the first whale sightings as you approach Antarctic waters.
Once on the Antarctic Peninsula, daily activities are guided by weather and ice conditions, creating opportunities to explore sheltered bays, navigate iceberg-filled channels and visit penguin colonies alongside the expedition team. Expect regular chances to observe penguins, seals and whales from both shore and sea level, while learning about the region through onboard programs and citizen science initiatives. Combining active exploration with expert insight, this voyage offers an immersive introduction to one of Antarctica's most remarkable wilderness regions.

Upon arrival at the airport, you will be met by a representative and transferred to your hotel in Buenos Aires. This evening, enjoy the hotel’s amenities or take advantage of your free time to explore the city.

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. Board your boutique ship before departing for your journey through one of the most captivating wilderness regions of the world.

Sea days are rarely dull. Take the time to sit back and let the world go by. The ship’s observation decks provide stunning views of the passing ocean. A day at sea gives you the opportunity to mingle with other passengers and share your experiences of this incredible trip or head to our library which is stocked full of reference books. Get an expert’s view in one of our on-board lectures or perhaps perfect your photography skills with invaluable advice from our onboard professional photographers.

Among captivating glaciers, majestic icebergs and snowy islands, the Antarctic Peninsula is where most visitors to the White Continent live their Antarctica dream. It's the most accessible part, with scientific bases and incredible scenery, like the photogenic Lemaire Channel. Shore excursions might include Mikkelsen Harbour, where among gentoo penguins, snowy sheathbills and skuas, Antarctic Weddell seals haul out.
