ITINERARY
Day
1: Arriving in Buenos Aires and Hotel Night
Upon
arrival in Buenos Aires, make your way to the included group hotel,
which is part of your Charter Flight & Hotel Package. A
presentation room will be open from 12 pm to 8 pm for luggage weighing
and tagging. A Quark Expeditions representative will be available to
answer your questions and give information about the next
day’s flight and ship embarkation. After an early breakfast
the following morning, your group will transfer to the airport and
board our private charter flight to Ushuaia, Argentina, the
southernmost city in the world.
Day
2: Arrive in Ushuaia and Embarkation
Your
Charter Flight and Hotel package will provide you with some free time
to explore this quaint port town at the bottom of South America.
Steeped in marine history, this walkable Argentine city has plenty of
museums, galleries and historic sites to visit quite easily. We will
transfer the group to the ship for embarkation around 4 pm.
Day
3 - 4: Crossing the Drake Passage
Legendary
for its high winds and rolling seas, you may get lucky and have
surprisingly calm seas through the Drake Passage. Spend your time in
the lounge or chatting with your fellow travelers. As you develop your
sea legs during the crossing, our Expedition Team will begin their
series of presentations to help prepare you for your upcoming Zodiac
and land excursions. You officially enter Antarctica when your ship
crosses the Antarctic Convergence, a biological boundary that
fluctuates around 60° south.
Day
5 - 8: South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula
The
most common reaction upon reaching the 7th Continent is a sense of
reverence and awe. The experience is beyond words, since few places are
as untouched as Antarctica. You will begin to appreciate why this
region has long captivated the attention of explorers and travelers
alike. Every time we visit Antarctica, we witness something new or
unexpected, which means that your expedition will be unlike any
other— creating a unique, personal experience. Each day, you
will take Zodiac excursions from the ship to explore glaciated bays,
channels and landing sites. Your Expedition Team will take care of you
at each landing, whether you are hiking the Antarctic landscape,
visiting a research station or observing chinstrap, Adélie
and gentoo penguins, all of which can be found here. Keep an eye out
for Weddell, fur, crabeater and leopard seals as well as curious
whales, such as humpbacks, minkes, or perhaps orcas while on a Zodiac
cruise. Each excursion will present a new array of creatures to
fascinate you and keep your camera busy. Amid the serene silence of
Antarctica, noisy interludes become indelible memories, such as
penguins squabbling over prized pebbles, or the boom and crack of a
calving glacier. Every day will be different, having been carefully
crafted by your Expedition Team to inspire and educate you about this
wonderful part of the world.
Day
9: Disembarkation and Fly to Punta Arenas
With
only the Drake Passage ahead, you’ll disembark on King George
Island before flying to Punta Arenas, Chile. Once you’re in
Punta Arenas, we’ll transfer you from the airport to your
hotel, where you’re free to explore and enjoy a final dinner
on your own, before your homeward journey.
Day
10: Depart Punta Arenas
After
breakfast, you are free to continue on your own travels or make your
way to the Punta Arenas airport for your homeward flights.
World Voyager QEX (Luxury Expedition, 198-guests)
Experience extraordinary Antarctica to the fullest and in the shortest amount of time aboard our newest yacht, World Voyager. Our NEW Drake Express option lets you fly straight into King George Island off the coast of Antarctica and over the Drake Passage both ways to maximize your boots on the ground exploration time.
