ITINERARY
Day
1 : Ushuaia, Argentina
Although
its nickname the "End of the World" - derived from its location along
the southernmost tip of South America among the Tierra del Fuego
archipelago - Ushuaia is far from the end of any adventure. Where the
Andes meet the Beagle Channel and the snow-capped Martial Mountains sit
behind a sprawling city of colorful buildings, lies a lively town ready
and waiting to take you on the thrill ride of a lifetime. Scenes like
Parque Yatana give you the chance to immerse yourself in the rich,
indigenous culture.
Day
2- 3 : Drake Passage Navigation
Navigating
the intrepid Drake Passage is made for the boldest of explorers.
Petrels and albatrosses that glide across the skies guide the way. To
witness its awesome power makes the journey to Antarctica all the more
triumphant.
The
Drake Passage leads you from the southernmost region of the Americas to
the Antarctic Peninsula, the northern point of The White Continent.
This waterway where cold southern ocean meets warm northern sea water
creates powerful currents that test your mettle.
But
the rewards for the journeyer that braves these waters do not compare.
The meeting of warm and cold waters creates an environment that
attracts extraordinary wildlife. Drake Passage offers the chance to
witness the likes of humpback whales and hourglass dolphins that
accompany the voyage. The soundtrack of the 48-hour journey through the
Drake Passage includes the crash of the ocean against the ship and the
cry of petrels, skuas, and gulls.
While
the waterway is famous for its challenging navigation, you may still
get another side of the Drake Passage. On some occasions, the channel
is calm and tranquil, making for a pleasant voyage into Antarctica.
That’s one of the more splendid characteristics of the Drake
Passage - you never know what you will get.
As
you emerge from the Drake Passage, the mammoth, icy peaks of the South
Shetland Islands loom ahead, greeting you on your victorious landing.
You have completed the rite of passage to explore the seventh continent.
Day
4 : Exploring the South Shetland Islands - Captain’s Choice,
Antarctica
Part
of the greater Antarctica region, the South Shetland Islands contain
plenty of wildlife, scenic landscapes, hiking opportunities and
magnificent viewpoints that inspire a sense of discovering another
world. A possible landing on Elephant Island, named for the shape of
its cliffside and the elephant seals that call it home, puts you on the
same path as the famous Shackleton Expedition. Deception Island,
another possible landing and named for its very nature, is in fact a
volcanic caldera where you can find heated springs amid the striking
black sands. Other stops could include Half Moon Island, Yankee Harbor,
Point Wild and Barrientos Island, where you can find plenty of Gentoo
penguin rookeries. CAPTAIN’S CHOICE — Your Captain
will expertly navigate ice floes, icebergs and changing sea and weather
conditions to ensure you experience the most from your expedition. Each
day is a new adventure filled with a spontaneous sense of exploration
as your Captain works with our expedition team to determine possible
shore landings and Zodiac safaris. All itinerary routes serve as
examples and are subject to change based on current conditions,
prioritizing the safety and optimal expedition experience for all
guests.
Day 5-8 : Exploring the
Antarctic Peninsula – Captain’s Choice
Nicknamed The White Continent for its vast expanse of icebergs, snow
and glaciers, Antarctica is often the final frontier for experienced
explorers to conquer. As you navigate Antarctic waters, you may set
foot on sites like Beak Island, Brown Bluff, Cierva Cove, Hidden Bay
and many more. Each landing throughout the continent offers its own
unique landscape, from expansive tundra to rugged mountain peaks, all
beckoning you to follow the paths that few explorers have trekked
before. CAPTAIN’S CHOICE - Your Captain will expertly
