ITINERARY
Day
1 : Arrive in Buenos Aires, Argentina
You
may arrive in Buenos Aires at any time during Day 1 of your itinerary.
Upon arriving in this splendid city, known for its architecture and
rich European heritage, you will independently transfer to your group
hotel (pre-expedition hotel night included in mandatory transfer
package).
Day
2 : Fly to Ushuaia & Embark
After
an early breakfast at the hotel, the group will transfer to the airport
and board our private charter flight to Ushuaia, Argentina.
Upon
arrival, you will be transferred from the airport to a central downtown
location to have some time on your own to explore this quaint port town
before making your way to the pier.
After
a late afternoon embarkation, you will sail along the historic Beagle
Channel, which transects the Tierra del Fuego archipelago in the
extreme south of South America. Expect an air of anticipation as you
depart—the next land you see will be the Antarctic!
Days
3 - 4 : Crossing the Drake Passage
Prepare
yourself for potentially rough water, but hope for a smooth sailing, as
the Drake is unpredictable and always changing. You’ll spend
these first days getting to know your shipmates while your Expedition
Team provides safety briefings and insights into what excitement lies
ahead.The unpredictable and exciting Drake Passage is an adventure unto
itself. While being well taken care of by our expert onboard staff and
leaders, you’ll have plenty of time to gaze out at the ocean,
take pictures of seabirds swooping around the ship, and get to know
your Expedition Team and fellow travelers.
Days
5 - 9 : South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula
Once
the Drake Passage is left in our wake and the South Shetland Islands
come into view, your Antarctic adventure truly begins. You will begin
to appreciate why this region has long captivated the attention of
explorers and travelers alike. On every visit to Antarctica, we witness
something new or unexpected, which means your expedition will be unlike
any other—a unique, personal experience.
Each
day, you will take Zodiac excursions from the ship to explore local
bays, channels and landing sites. With wildlife always at the forefront
of our minds, you will visit penguin rookeries, scout for humpback and
minke whales, and search for a number of southern seal species,
including the cunning leopard seal.
The
majesty of the Antarctic Peninsula’s mountains will enchant
as you hike snowy pathways to vantage points offering panoramic views
of your surroundings. You will discover that Antarctica is a land of
extremes. At one moment you’ll be overcome with a feeling of
complete isolation and silence, and the next you’ll be
inspired by nature as a calving glacier crashes into a brilliant blue
sea or a penguin waddles by to inspect your footwear.
Amid
the serene silence of Antarctica, noisy interludes—such as
penguins squabbling over prized pebbles—become indelible
memories.
Each
day will be different, carefully crafted by your Expedition Team to
inspire and educate you about this wonderful part of the world.
Days
10 and 11 : Crossing the Drake Passage
The
journey back across the Drake Passage provides a final opportunity to
enjoy the invigorating Antarctic air. Spend time on the deck watching
for seabirds and scouting for whales, enjoy presentations by your
Expedition Team, and celebrate the experiences you've shared exploring
the remarkable world of Antarctica.
Day
12 : Disembark in Ushuaia and Fly to Buenos Aires
You
will arrive in Ushuaia in the morning and disembark after breakfast.
The mandatory transfer package includes a taste of Patagonia with a
Tierra del Fuego National Park tour before transferring to the airport
for the return group charter flight to Buenos Aires.
