Buenos Aires, Argentina

Feel the rhythm of bustling Buenos Aires. Start your Antarctic adventure with an overnight stay in Buenos Aires. Home to a proud and diverse community of 'portenos', or 'people of the port', this city is a sensuous fusion of faded European splendor and Latin American panache. There are plenty of places to explore, including many 'parrillas' serving authentic Argentine steak. This is the renowned hometown of the tango, so maybe you'd like to practice your dance moves.

Cruising Antarctica, Antarctica

Experience Antarctica in all its natural majesty. Nothing prepares you for your first sight of Antarctica's immense, frozen beauty. Antarctica will fill you with wonder, being surrounded by looming glaciers and icebergs the size of floating cathedrals. Perhaps the most surprising part of Antarctica is the silence. The stillness that reigns is broken every so often by the locals - the wildlife. Whales begin to arrive in greater numbers by December and January. This is also when the first penguin chicks hatch. Seeing those clumsy clumps of feathers running around is always a charming sight. February and March are peak whale watching months, when huge amounts of krill lure whales to the area. Nature is king here and we are mere observers. Our experienced Captain will continually monitor conditions to create the best possible itinerary for your adventure. Rest assured that each day will offer something different and thrilling. Join the Expedition Team on landings and while ice cruising. You may even have the chance to kayak among the icebergs. Back on board, the Expedition Team will continue their lectures, helping expand your insight into the frozen continent. Over five magical days, experience this amazing world in a way that will stay with you for a lifetime. ...

Heading back north across the Drake Passage. After five incredible days, you'll have experienced so much in Antarctica.

As your mind tries to conjure up the magical Antarctic scenery, now could be a good time to sift through your photos and videos to recapture a sense of its magnitude.
