ITINERARY
Day
1 : Arrive in and explore Ushuaia
After
a friendly welcome at the airport and a transfer to the Arakur Ushuaia
Resort & Spa (or another of
Ushuaia’s popular hotels), take some time to unwind or
explore the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia.Our evening
briefing at your hotel is your opportunity to ask questions and meet
some of your fellow explorers.
Day
2 : All Aboard!
Spend
your morning relaxing at the hotel, or visit a museum or the
Argentinean leather markets in Ushuaia, before or just relaxing at the
hotel 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!
Days 3-4 : Drake Passage
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.
Day
5 : South Shetland Islands
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 kayaks, and spend
most of our day exploring. Whether on land or
sea, in Zodiac or kayak, be prepared for a fully immersive introduction
to this incomparable part of the world.
Days
6-9 : Antarctic Circle
Heading
south across the Bransfield Strait, we begin to see the breathtaking
outline of the Antarctic Peninsula. Wildlife
sightings, including penguins, whales, and fur seals, become more
frequent, as do dramatic ice sculptures. Should Antarctica’s
unpredictable weather and ice permit, you will be among the lucky few
to cross the Antarctic Circle, where the sun remains in the sky for 20
hours a day. Following a tradition first established by sailors
crossing the equator, we’ll celebrate the occasion
by… (Sorry, you just have to be there), before heading
onward toward any number of historic and rarely visited British survey
bases, after which we turn back north.
Days
10-12 : Antarctic Peninsula
Heading
north, we’ll explore all the Antarctic Peninnsula has to
offer, including any number of spectacular bays and famed harbors,
maneuvering through dramatic channels as we traverse the wildlife-rich
waters,
encountering a wide variety of lively penguins, seals, and whales along
the rugged coastlines and in the sea.There are
always great opportunities to stop at several active scientific bases
and historic landing sites along the way,
as we leave no opportunity unseized-upon in our quest to explore the
very best of this magical place.
Days
13-14 : Drake Passage
We
leave this magical place and make our way north, once again heading
across the Antarctic Convergence and the
Drake Passage. We have one last hurrah as we celebrate the conclusion
of our expedition with a special slideshow and a final meal together.
Day
15 : Ushuaia disembarkation
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.
Sea Venture (Luxury Expedition, 139-guests)
Sea Venture features a 1-A Super ice class rating - the highest ice class awarded to passenger vessels. This means that we will be able to explore coves, bays, and channels that would previously have been forbidden to us.
The ship also offers a host of new activities. There's a sauna, a fitness center, a custom-built citizen science lab, and heated saltwater pool. There is more storage space, which is important because it means we can carry more equipment, so that more of our guests can participate in activities like kayaking, snowshoeing, and camping.
The common areas are larger and beautifully appointed, and the ship has two kitchens, one on the Lido deck for al fresco dining when weather permits.
