    Itinerary

    Collapse all Expand all

    Day 1

    Buenos Aires, Argentina

    Home to a proud and diverse community of porteños, or ‘people of the port’, the city is a fusion of faded European splendour and Latin American panache. An overnight stay in Buenos Aires is the ideal way to start your adventure. There are plenty of places to explore, including many parrillas serving authentic Argentine steak. Or maybe you’d like to practise your dance moves in the famous hometown of the tango.

    Day 2

    Ushuaia, Argentina

    Your adventure begins with an early morning flight to Ushuaia. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Martial Glacier, this bustling port city is the capital of Argentina’s Tierra del Fuego Province and vies for the title of the world’s southernmost city. Your hybrid-powered expedition ship awaits in port. After a briefing from your Expedition Team and picking up your expedition jacket, settle into your cabin and explore the ship before enjoying the first of many delicious meals on board. Your journey is officially underway.

    Day 3

    Ushuaia, Argentina

    Sailing from Ushuaia, journey towards the far-flung shores of South Georgia, one of the most wildlife rich places on the planet. Your Expedition Team will prepare you for what lies ahead, from the history of the island to stories of Norwegian whalers. The Expedition Team will also talk about the IAATO environmental guidelines and sustainability rules that you’ll follow to make your visit as safe and low-impact as possible.

    Day 7

    South Georgia

    South Georgia’s abundant wildlife has earned it the nickname ‘Serengeti of the Southern Ocean’. Its unique position, free from sea ice, makes the island a breeding site for large colonies of penguins, other seabirds, and seals. In fact, it’s an Important Bird Area, home to albatrosses, petrels, shags, skuas, and terns. You’ll spend four days exploring this remarkable area. We’ll also try to reach Grytviken, the final resting place of Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. We’re always guided by nature, responding to daily conditions to bring you the best possible experience. While these expedition itineraries are always flexible, they’re even more so during peak breeding seasons when the wildlife is most vulnerable to disturbance. When opportunities allow, you’ll land and wildlife watch. When your presence could disturb the animals, another place to visit will be chosen. These decisions are made by your Expedition Team and are based on lifetimes of combined experience in these destinations.

    Antarctic Peninsula

    Nothing prepares you for your first sight of Antarctica’s immense, frozen beauty. Icebergs float in the straits. Gentoo, chinstrap, and Adélie penguins watch upright from the shores. Countless seabirds wheel overhead. Nature is in charge. While you’re here, you’ll explore several possible landing sites, on and around the Antarctic Peninsula. You might kayak among icebergs, watching for breaching whales, snowshoe to a stunning viewpoint, or cruise in Zodiacs to explore the ice up-close. Bird enthusiasts should look skywards for Antarctic seabirds such as skuas, petrels, and terns. Through onboard lectures and onshore talks, you’ll learn more about this precious habitat and how we can all protect it for the future.
