    Antarctic Adventure in Depth

    0

    Highlights

    Your Antarctic adventure begins with traversing the Southern Ocean, and crossing the notorious Drake Passage. On arrival in the White Continent, you’ll get to explore and watch out for penguins, albatrosses, whales, and much more. You can also take your Antarctic expedition to the next level on a traditional ‘polar plunge’! Take a dip into the icy waters of the Southern Ocean and enjoy the exhilarating aftereffects over a hot chocolate on deck.

     

     

    Map/Itinerary

     

     

    Day 1Arrival in Buenos Aires, Argentina

    Arrive in Buenos Aires at your convenience. This exciting city, known for its architecture and rich culture, marks the starting point of your journey.
    One night of accommodation is included at a designated hotel.
    • Please note: The transfer from the airport to the hotel is only included if you arrive on Day 1 of the itinerary and land at Ezeiza International Airport (EZE).

    Day 2Fly to Ushuaia and Embark

    After an early breakfast at the hotel, your group will transfer to the airport and board the private charter flight to Ushuaia, Argentina. After a late afternoon embarkation, you will sail along the historic Beagle Channel, which transects the Tierra del Fuego archipelago in the extreme south of South America.

    Day 3-4At Sea

    Sea days are rarely dull. Take the time to sit back and let the world go by. The ship’s observation decks provide stunning views of the passing ocean. A day at sea gives you the opportunity to mingle with other passengers and share your experiences of this incredible trip or head to our library which is stocked full of reference books. Get an expert’s view in one of our on-board lectures or perhaps perfect your photography skills with invaluable advice from our onboard professional photographers.

    Days 5-12Antarctic Peninsula

    Among captivating glaciers, majestic icebergs and snowy islands, the Antarctic Peninsula is where most visitors to the White Continent live their Antarctica dream. It’s the most accessible part, with scientific bases and incredible scenery. Shore excursions might include Mikkelsen Harbour, where among gentoo penguins, snowy sheathbills and skuas, Antarctic Weddell seals haul out.

    Day 13-14At Sea

    Days at sea are the perfect chance to relax, unwind and do whatever takes your fancy. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, trying to spot a whale from the deck, reading a chapter or two, or simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to the green days spent exploring on land.

    Day 15 Disembark in Ushuaia and Fly to Buenos Aires
