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.
Days
5-9: Antarctic Peninsula and Antarctic Circle
We
venture west along the Antarctic Peninsula into the Gerlache Strait
region, exploring a variety of sites highlighting the area’s
staggering natural beauty. Iconic experiences await on our twice-daily
excursions. From Zodiac cruises into Paradise Bay to witnessing
penguins nesting on Cuverville Island, each potential stop promises
awe-inspiring encounters. We’ll explore historic huts at
Damoy Point, keep an eye out for humpback whales in Wilhelmina Bay, and
continue south until we reach the crown jewel of this expedition, the
jaw-dropping scenery through the Lemaire Channel. Weather permitting,
we’ll cross the Antarctic Circle at
66°33’S, an achievement that will put you in rare
company.
Day
10: South Shetland Islands
This
archipelago represents the northernmost tip of Antarctica, standing
proud against the relentless force of the Southern Ocean. The
ice-capped peaks of Livingstone, Greenwich, and King George Islands
offer a stunning backdrop to explore. And despite the furious elements,
the islands boast a remarkable richness of wildlife, with numerous
colonies of Gentoo and Chinstrap Penguins dotting the island shores,
accompanied by an array of formidable seabirds like the predatory Giant
Petrels. Weather permitting, we’ll explore the eerie
landscape of Deception Island, an active volcanic crater with black
steaming sands and rusting ruins, and immerse ourselves in the history
of Yankee Harbour, once a vital anchorage for sealers.
Days
11-12: 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
13: 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.
