After many months of careful consideration and planning, we have taken the exciting leap of developing our own expedition cruise to Antarctica. Combining our unrivalled passion, knowledge and many years of experience, we believe we have created something truly special – The Ultimate Antarctic Expedition cruise in 2025 onboard MV Ushuaia over 23 incredible days, you will visit and experience the very best of Antarctica, including the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands, plus the opportunity to see Elephant Island.

This is a journey with an all-out focus on exploration that you'll enjoy in the most unhurried way, only made possible because our maximum group size will be just 66 passengers - almost a quarter of the size of a typical expedition ship in today's market!

So, in February 2025, join us for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and be a part of the Ultimate Antarctic Expedition Cruise!
