ITINERARY
Day 1: Ushuaia,
Argentina (Depart 6pm)
The snow-capped Martial Mountains behind a sprawling city of colorful
buildings create the backdrop of Ushuaia, Argentina. A mix of historic
buildings and rugged nature adventures make this city the perfect fit
for the curious explorer who wants to go beyond the surface.
Don't let the nickname the “End of the World” fool
you. Although it lies on 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 lies a lively town
ready and waiting to take you on the thrill ride of a lifetime.
The wild forest of Parque Yatana entices you to hike and explore its
many trails as you find your way through Argentina's lush nature and
rich, indigenous culture. The forest's name translates to
“weave” in the native language of Yaghan. Here, you
will find arts and crafts from the indigenous communities on display,
giving you a sense of wonder.
For a greater challenge, take the trail that leads from downtown to
Martial Glacier. The scene before your eyes gives way from green grass
to rocky, black peaks spattered with white snow. The heart-pounding
trek takes you through an unbelievable path that leads to a view of the
Andes Mountains, Ushuaia, and the ocean.
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 4-7: Antarctic
Peninsula (Captain’s Choice)
