ITINERARY
Day
1: Start of the Air-Cruise
Your
journey begins in Ushuaia, Argentina, at the pier. Board your ship in
the afternoon and sail along the Beagle Channel towards Puerto
Williams, Chile, the southernmost town in the world. Explore the
surroundings before setting sail to Cape Horn.
Day
2: Cape Horn & Drake Passage
After
an overnight crossing of Nassau Bay, you awake in full view of
legendary Cape Horn! Weather permitting, board a Zodiac and be one of
the few privileged adventurers to step foot on this famous and rarely
visited island. Back on board, set sail towards Antarctica and cross
the famous passage named in honor of Sir Francis Drake, the great
16th-century British explorer.
Day
3: Drake Passage
As
you sail through the Drake Passage en route to King George Island, in
the South Shetland Islands, attend an engaging program of lectures and
presentations. In the company of expert guides, watch for wildlife from
the lounge or the outside decks. You may spot magnificent seabirds,
such as albatrosses and petrels, as well as different species of whales
on their way south to Antarctica.
Day
4: Drake Passage and Antarctica
After
crossing the Antarctic Convergence, the environment changes noticeably.
Keep your camera ready, as this is the time to watch for the first
icebergs and the first sight of Antarctic land. Reaching the South
Shetland Islands, sail in ice-filled bays, while enjoying the company
of seabirds, penguins, seals, and whales. Board a Zodiac for your first
memorable shore visit to a penguin colony. Exploration may continue
well into the evening taking advantage of the long Antarctic daylight.
Day
5: Antarctica and scheduled return flight
Upon
reaching King George Island, disembark at Fildes Bay. You then board a
transfer vehicle and pass Chile’s Frei Station and
Russia’s Bellingshausen Station to the aircraft. Bid farewell
to Antarctica as you board the flight back to Punta Arenas. Upon
arrival, transfer to your hotel for the night. (Note: Meals in Punta
Arenas are at your leisure and not included in the program).
Day
6: End of the Air-Cruise
