ITINERARY
Day
1: Arrive and explore in Ushuaia
After
a friendly welcome at the airport and a transfer to the luxurious
Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa, take some time to unwind or
explore the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia. (In the unlikely
event that you can't be accommodated at the Arakur, you'll unwind at
another of Ushuaia's top luxury hotels.)
Our
optional evening briefing is your opportunity to ask questions and meet
some of your fellow explorers.
Day
2: All Aboard!
Spend
your morning relaxing at the hotel, visiting a museum, or exploring the
shops in Ushuaia, before 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 spend
most of our day exploring. And kayakers, it’s time to get
your first taste of gliding just inches off the pristine Antarctic
water. Whether on land or sea, in Zodiac or kayak, be prepared for a
fully immersive introduction to this incomparable part of the world.
Days
6-8: Glorious Antarctica
Here’s
our chance to explore any number of picturesque bays and landing sites,
while maneuvering through iceberg-rich channels and into wildlife-rich
waters. We’ll likely be joined by numerous species of
enchanting penguins, seals, and whales, both in the sea and along the
rugged coastlines. And there will be great opportunities to stop at
several active scientific bases and historic landing sites during our
typical two-a-day outings. A night of camping under the stars is also
an unforgettable highlight for those who sign up. Our focus is always
on the longest and most adventurous off-ship experience, so be prepared
to take in all that Antarctica has to offer.
Days
9-10: Drake Passage
We
leave this magical place and make our way north, once again crossing
the legendary 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
11: 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.
Ocean Albatros - PL (Luxury Expedition, 180-guests)
Beneath the sleek exterior of the Ocean Albatros lies decades of learning and adaptation to the harsh Antarctic environment.
