G Adventures has been running expeditions to Antarctica for many years, using their expertise from over 30 years of running group tours. The Antarctic Classic cruise is one of their most popular and will give you the chance to explore Antarctica over an 11-day itinerary. 

The focus on this cruise is to explore as much as possible and you can expect up to 2 landings per day while you are in Antarctic waters. The ship has a fleet of Zodiac boats and an expert team of expedition staff ready to show you the very best of what the continent has to offer.

Back on-board the G Expedition, you can expect a comfortable and relaxed environment. During your cruise you can watch one of the fascinating lectures in the Expedition Lounge, enjoy a variety of tasty dishes in the ships restaurant or head “up top” to the Polar Bear Pub to mingle with your fellow travellers over a few drinks.

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive in Ushuaia

Get settled in Ushuaia. You can have the day for yourself and enjoy the world’s most southerly city. Visit the “Museo Marítimo y del Presidio de Ushuaia” (Maritime Museum) or “Museo del Fin del Mundo” which is local history and natural history museum. For the shoppers, Paseo del Fuego Shopping Center is probably the biggest one in the area, or simply walk in the Centre where you will see smaller shops and souvenir shops such as “La Ultima Bita”. If you wish to dedicate your time outside of the capital, you could head to “Tierra del Fuego” National Park. The park has over 20 species of terrestrial mammals and 90 species of bird. You can spot guanaco (lama quanicoe), Andean fox, muskrat, austral parakeet, Andean condor and Magellanic oystercatcher.
