ITINERARY
Day
1 (Oct 23): Arrival in Ushuaia, Argentina (hotel night)
Welcome
to Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city and starting point
of our Antarctic expedition! Upon your arrival at the airport, you will
be greeted by our staff and transferred to a quality hotel, which has
been arranged by us and is included in the price of the itinerary. For
the rest of the day, you are free to explore this vibrant port city and
adventure hub.
For
an introduction to local history and wildlife, the interesting Museo
del Fin del Mundo is worth a visit. If you have time to spare, a
variety of nature activities can be arranged to suit all interests and
fitness levels, from hiking in nearby Tierra del Fuego National Park to
wildlife viewing in the Beagle Channel. For dinner, Ushuaia offers a
wide range of restaurants featuring Patagonian lamb and delectable
Fuegian seafood.
Day
2 (Oct 24): Welcome Aboard!
Enjoy
breakfast at your hotel and get ready for an exciting day. Today, we
set sail on our beautiful Sea Spirit towards the Subantarctic islands.
Day
3 (Oct 25): At sea
As
we sail towards the subantarctic islands, make the most of your time!
Attend our captivating presentations from experts, familiarize yourself
with our Sea Spirit, and get ready for our arrival at a wildlife
paradise.
Day
4-5 (Oct 26-27): Falkland Islands
The
remote and sparsely-populated Falkland Islands are a birders’
paradise. The Falklands are also a great place to observe marine
mammals. The waters around the archipelago are home to cetaceans such
as Peale’s dolphins and Commerson’s dolphins. Our
exact route and exploration opportunities are dependent on weather
among these isolated and windswept islands.
We
also intend to visit the port of Stanley, the charmingly British
capital of the Falkland Islands. Attractions within pleasant walking
distance along the waterfront promenade include the Falkland Islands
Museum, the governor’s house, a cathedral with impressive
whalebone arch outside, a war memorial, quality gift shops, pubs, and
views of shipwrecks in the harbor.
Day
6-7 (Oct 28-29): Southern Ocean
From
the Falkland Islands we head east toward South Georgia. We will cross
the Antarctic Convergence, the biological boundary of the Southern
Ocean. Briefings, bio-security procedures, and lectures from our
experts prepare you for our arrival in South Georgia.
Day
8-14 (Oct 30 - Nov 5): South Georgia Island
This
is expedition cruising at its most authentic. Our route and exploration
opportunities in South Georgia are heavily dependent on the weather
conditions we encounter. Our experienced captain and expedition leader
decide the itinerary and continually adjust plans as conditions and
opportunities warrant. You can be sure that the best possible advantage
will be taken of the circumstances presented to us by nature in this
wild and remote corner of the world. We take every safe opportunity to
go ashore in this amazing place.
South
Georgia is a scenic wilderness and an unrivaled paradise for
subantarctic wildlife viewing. The islands are said to host upwards of
100 million seabirds, including numerous species of albatross,
penguins, prions, petrels and terns. On beaches such as those at
Salisbury Plain and St. Andrews Bay, over 100,000 elephant seals and
three million fur seals jostle for space among innumerable penguins
including stately king penguins and sprightly macaroni penguins. The
recently completed rat eradication program is sure to make this
wilderness even more pristine and rich with birdlife.
The
bountiful waters surrounding South Georgia are also inhabited by an
increasing number of whales. The historical whaling station of
Grytviken is now home to the excellent South Georgia Museum managed by
the South Georgia Heritage Trust. Grytviken is also the final resting
place of Ernest Shackleton, the legendary polar explorer.
Our
days in South Georgia are filled with memorable excursions, sumptuous
meals, presentations by our experts, and enough incredible scenery and
wildlife to fill your camera and overwhelm your emotions.
Day
15-16 (Nov 6- 7): Back to the Falkland Islands
It
is time to head back toward the Falkland Islands. However, our
adventures are not over yet. We will share our impressions, review all
the great photos we’ve taken and enjoy a friendly atmosphere
of like-minded fellow travellers.
Day
17 (Nov 8): Falkland Islands
In
this remote and stunningly beautiful wilderness, seabirds and marine
mammals are counted in the millions. The waters around the archipelago
are home to cetaceans such as Peale’s dolphins and
Commerson’s dolphins. In this rugged yet accessible
environment, superb wildlife viewing is best complemented by active
adventure. Our knowledgeable guides will offer hiking and hill climbing
for an even greater perspective of this raw polar wilderness. This is
expedition cruising at its most authentic. Our precise route and
exploration opportunities will be shaped by weather. Our experienced
captain and expedition leader will continually adjust plans to take
maximum advantage of the conditions in this challenging polar
environment.
Day
18 (Nov 9): Southern Ocean
As
you sail, immerse yourself in fascinating presentations from our expert
staff and bond with fellow travelers. On the open deck, marvel at the
sight of birds and marine mammals that grace our journey. South polar
skuas, snow petrels, and albatrosses may escort our vessel, enhancing
your experience with their majestic presence. This is also the time for
festivities such as the Captain’s Farewell Cocktail and the
end-of-voyage slideshow. The seabirds you saw at the beginning of your
voyage reappear, offering a full-circle experience of natural wonder.
Day
19 (Nov 10): Disembarkation in Ushuaia, Argentina
After
breakfast we say farewell in the city of Ushuaia. We provide a group
transfer to the airport or to the town center if you wish to spend more
time here. As you look back on your wonderful experience, you may
already be looking forward to your next incredible polar adventure!
Sea Spirit (Luxury Expedition, 114-guests)
The ice-strengthened small all-suite expedition ship Sea Spirit (originally Renaissance V) was built in 1991 in Italy. From that time she has changed several operators and regions of navigation, cruising in Singapore, Alaska, Pacific Basin, Arctic and Antarctica. The vessel was modified in late 2010. Providing spacious suites for accommodation of maximum of 114 passengers (the smallest suite is 20 sq. meters) the Sea Spirit at the same time features maneuverability and friendly atmosphere of small ships. All suites have private facilities and exterior views. Some of the suites feature private balconies for enjoying fantastic landscapes of the Arctic and Antarctica.
