Day 1: Buenos Aires to Ushuaia
You will travel on a charter flight from Buenos Aires to the busy port of Ushuaia and embark the cruise ship late at night.
Day 2-8: At Sea & Antarctic Peninsula
Sail across the iconic Drake Passage before arriving in the South Shetland Islands. Board a Zodiac and navigate to Half Moon Island as well as Deception Island and observe the contrast between the dark rock and vast fields of snow covering this remote volcanic island. The landscapes are breath-taking, especially when you first set foot on the Antarctic Peninsula. The endless ice makes the horizon disappear and is likely to leave a profound impression on your heart and soul.
Day 9-13: At Sea & South Georgia
Sail to your next destination: South Georgia. The island is home to vast colonies of King penguins. The wildlife is amongst the most spectacular on the planet. Penguins raise their young ones in the subantarctic summer and autumn, so you will see fluffy brown chicks populating the shores. It is a truly unique paradise for travellers who want to hike, Zodiac or simply enjoy the mesmerising sights of South Georgia.
Day 14-16: At Sea & the Falkland Islands
Stanley is the capital of the Falkland Islands and its distinctly British influence is evident throughout the city, notably the remarkable Christ Church Cathedral in the centre. The Falkland Museum also provides a deep dive into the archipelago’s rich history.
Day 17-20: At Sea & Buenos Aires
After this wonderful experience, you will sail to Ushuaia and receive lectures from the Expedition team. It is now the perfect time to share your experience with other travellers and spot one last time bird and marine life before to disembark in Buenos Aires for an overnight stay.
Day 21: Buenos Aires
The adventure will end in Buenos Aires. You can either decide to extend your holiday in this cosmopolitan and vibrant city or take your flight back home.
