ITINERARY
Day
1: Ushuaia, Argentina
Board
your ship in the afternoon and meet your expert expedition team and
lecturers. After settling into your cabin, the ship sets sail through
the Beagle Channel and Mackinlay Pass. Take in the breathtaking scenery
of rugged coastlines and sea cliffs as your Antarctic adventure begins.
Days
2-3: Crossing the Drake Passage
Cross
the legendary Drake Passage, named after Sir Francis Drake. This
biologically rich region, where cold polar waters meet warmer currents,
supports a thriving ecosystem that attracts seabirds such as
albatrosses, petrels, and shearwaters.
Take
advantage of your ship’s open bridge policy, joining the
officers to learn about navigation, scan for whales, or simply enjoy
the vast horizon. Meanwhile, the lecture team will share insights into
Antarctica’s history, geology, and wildlife.
By
Day 3, the first sight of the South Shetland Islands will
appear—remote islets first discovered in 1819 by Captain
William Smith. Weather permitting, you may step ashore for your first
encounters with penguins and seals.
Days
4-9: Exploring the Antarctic Peninsula & Venturing below the
Antarctica Circle
Explore
the wonders of the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands,
where towering icebergs, pristine glaciers, and dramatic landscapes
define the ultimate polar wilderness.
Adventure
Highlights:
Kayaking: Paddle
through serene, icy waters, surrounded by sculpted icebergs, curious
seals, and diving penguins.
Snowshoeing: Trek
across snowy ridges and glacial terrains to reach stunning viewpoints.
Zodiac Cruises:
Navigate ice-filled waters for close-up views of wildlife and ice
formations.
Scenic
Waterways:
Sail
through some of Antarctica’s most iconic passages, such as
the Gerlache Strait, Errera Channel, and Lemaire Channel, often
referred to as the "Kodak Gap" for its spectacular scenery.
With
over 500 diverse landing sites along the Antarctic Peninsula, no two
voyages are ever the same. Our expert team crafts each expedition based
on conditions, weather, and opportunities for the most remarkable
encounters. As passenger vessel traffic has increased in recent years,
competition for landing sites has intensified—but our deep
knowledge of this pristine region ensures you’ll embark on
true exploratory journeys, venturing beyond the crowds.
Guided
by our experienced crew, you’ll navigate breathtaking
ice-choked channels, witness towering glaciers, and encounter
extraordinary wildlife in one of the most remote places on Earth. This
is not just a cruise—it’s a genuine expedition
where spontaneity and discovery define every day.
Join
us for an adventure where the unknown awaits, and every landing is a
moment of exploration.
Wildlife
enthusiasts will be thrilled by close encounters with
Adélie, Gentoo, and Chinstrap Penguins, as well as
crabeater, Weddell, and leopard seals. Keep an eye out for Minke,
humpback, and orca whales feeding in the nutrient-rich waters. This
journey sets the compass south, aiming for the elusive Polar Circle
– a true expedition for explorers.
Days
10-11: Crossing the Drake Passage
Say
goodbye to the icy wilderness as we embark on our return journey across
the Drake Passage. Reflect on the incredible sights and adventures of
the past days. Attend final lectures and workshops or unwind on deck,
keeping an eye out for seabirds and marine life. Conclude your
Antarctic expedition with a farewell dinner on the final evening.
Day
12: Ushuaia, Argentina
Arrive
back in Ushuaia early in the morning. After breakfast, disembark your
