OFFER ID 1722330
Epic Scenery Embark on an unforgettable expedition through Earth’s last great wilderness. Sail from Ushuaia to Antarctica to explore icy channels and penguin rookeries.
Trip Overview :
Arrive in the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia, Argentina, capital of Tierra del Fuego and spend overnight here. The next day, embark on your ship and begin your cruise to Antarctica by sailing along the historic Beagle Channel and the next day, the unpredictable Drake Passage. During these two days, you will receive briefings on what to expect over the next few days.
The following 5 days introduce you to both the South Shetland Islands and the continent of Antarctica. The South Shetland Islands are located 75 kilometres/120 miles north of this famous land mass and are renowned for the large number of research stations located there. During these days, you will sail in sight of both destinations and eventually land on Antarctica using zodiacs in order to explore bays, channels and landing sites. You will come up close to penguin rookeries, see Humpback and Minke whales as well as seals. You will have the opportunity to climb up snowy pathways, take mountain hikes or simply spend time on pebbled beaches observing the local animal life.
Later, it’s time to return to Ushuaia spending 2 nights on board ship while watching out for seabirds and spotting whales along the way.

- Begin your Antarctic adventure in Ushuaia, Argentina, surrounded by mountains and the Beagle Channel’s rugged beauty.

Day 5: Exploring the South Shetland Islands & Antarctic Peninsula
The most common reaction upon reaching the 7th Continent is a sense of reverence and awe. The experience is beyond words, since few places are as untouched and enduring as Antarctica. You will begin to appreciate why this region has long captivated the attention of explorers and travelers alike. Every time we visit Antarctica, we witness something new or unexpected, which means that your expedition will be unlike any other—creating a unique, personal experience.
Each day, you will take Zodiac excursions from the ship to explore glaciated bays, channels and landing sites. Your Expedition Team will take care of you at each landing, whether you are hiking the Antarctic landscape, visiting a research station or consorting with chinstrap, Adélie and gentoo penguins, all of which can be found here. Keep an eye out for Weddell, fur, crabeater and leopard seals as well as curious whales, such as humpbacks, minkes, or perhaps orcas while on a Zodiac cruise. Each excursion will present a new array of creatures to fascinate you and keep your camera busy.
Amid the serene silence of Antarctica, noisy interludes become indelible memories, such as penguins squabbling over prized pebbles, or the boom and crack of a calving glacier.
Every day will be different, having been carefully crafted by your Expedition Team to inspire and educate you about this wonderful part of the world.
