Buenos Aires, Argentina
  • Buenos Aires, Argentina
Feel the rhythm of Buenos Aires and get into the spirit of adventure. An overnight stay in Buenos Aires is the ideal way to start your Antarctic voyage. Home to a proud and diverse community of portenos, or "people of the port", the 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. Or maybe you'd like to practice your dance moves in the famous hometown of the tango. Consider arriving a few days early to see all this vibrant city has to offer or explore the region with an optional Pre-Program. ...

Cruise Begins
  • Cruise Begins
  • Ushuaia, Argentina
Set sail from the capital of Tierra del Fuego. The morning begins with an early morning flight to Ushuaia. This port city is the capital of Argentina's Tierra del Fuego Province, and it's set against the magnificently rugged backdrop of the Andes mountains. Ushuaia vies for the title of the world's southernmost city, and it's from here that many adventures to Antarctica set out-including ours. You'll be welcomed aboard your hybrid-powered expedition ship-specially designed for exploring polar waters-and, after a briefing from your Expedition Team, there will be time to settle into your cabin and explore the comforts and amenities onboard. Your adventure has truly begun! ...

Get into adventure mode and learn about the nature and science of Antarctica. On the two-day crossing over the Drake Passage, the Expedition Team will equip you with all you need to make the most of your upcoming adventure. Visit the onboard Science Center and find out what lies ahead. Listen to experts talk passionately about Antarctica's history, the scientific study of what's beneath the ice, and the serious effects of modern-day environmental concerns. You'll discover how to make your visit as safe and low-impact as possible, and you'll learn about the onboard Citizen Science projects that help protect the environment and that you can be a part of. There's plenty of time to relax, so unwind in the spa and wellness area, enjoy some delicious cuisine in the ship's restaurants, and meet fellow travelers in the Explorer Lounge & Bar. ...

Cruising Antarctica, Antarctica
  • Cruising Antarctica, Antarctica
Another World: Experience all the wonders of the Antarctic Peninsula as we enter expedition mode. Nothing can quite prepare you for it. Silence and serenity infuse your soul as we sail through the deep blue waters past looming glaciers and cathedral-sized icebergs. Every moment in Antarctica will fill you with wonder. Large groups of penguins huddle on the ice floes, avoiding the cunning leopard seals that hunt them, and majestic, migrating whales glide past pristine icebergs as they feed on shoals of krill. Look skyward and you may spot some of the 45 species of Antarctic seabirds that live here, including skuas, cormorants, petrels, and terns. Nature reigns supreme here, and we are mere observers. Our experienced captain will continually monitor conditions to create the best possible itinerary for adventure, and we'll spend nine action-packed days exploring several of the many possible landing sites. Each day will offer something different and thrilling as we probe uncharted territories. Where most journeys to Antarctica end, yours only intensifies, offering unprecedented access to some lesser-explored areas. Remember-this is an expedition voyage! This means we'll be able to adapt our itinerary depending on the sea and ice conditions, and we'll endeavor to spend at least one day-or possibly several-in each of the following regions: South Shetland Islands: Typically the first glimpse of Antarctica for travelers, the South Shetland Islands boast a dramatic landscape across the 20-island archipelago. These rugged isles are not just strikingly beautiful, they are also teeming with wildlife, offering a vibrant, up-close encounter with nature's resilience and diversity. Antarctic Sound: A lesser-visited gem in the region, the Antarctic Sound serves as a grand gateway to the Weddell Sea and is home to some of the largest tabular icebergs. This striking corridor of ice and water is also a prime habitat for observing the rare Adelie penguin and offers a unique snapshot of the grandeur of Antarctica. Weddell Sea: Navigable only by the most advanced ice-strengthened ships, the Weddell Sea offers a profound connection to the history of Antarctic exploration. It was in this region in 1925 that Ernest Shackleton's ship, Endurance, was crushed by sea ice, setting off his legendary survival journey. Visitors to this harshly beautiful environment gain a vivid sense of Shackleton's extraordinary feats. You may also see emperor penguins here as they migrate to or from the nearby colony at Snow Hill Island. Gerlache Strait: A centerpiece of Antarctic exploration, the Gerlache Strait offers sheltered waterways that are ideal for up-close encounters with some of the continent's most iconic sights. This is the area where our ship's namesake, Roald Amundsen, sailed aboard the Belgica in 1898 before he and the crew became the first humans to overwinter in Antarctica. Frequented by humpback whales and resident orca pods, this area mesmerizes visitors with 360-degree views of snow-covered alpine landscapes, providing a truly awe-inspiring backdrop for adventure. The Penola Strait (South of the Lemaire Channel): The Penola Strait, which is accessed via the breathtaking Lemaire Channel-often hailed as the world's most picturesque channel-offers a spectacular maze of penguin-covered islands set against the massive glacier-clad peaks of the continental shoreline. Often beyond the range of standard voyages, this remote area teems with wildlife and presents boundless exploration opportunities. The abundant sea ice not only enhances the beauty but also increases the chance of observing seals and seeing the unique hunting tactics of orcas. Back onboard, the Expedition Team will continue their lectures, enlightening and entertaining with their insights into the wonders of the frozen continent. ...

Reflect on your adventure. After nine days of exhilaration and taking in the wonders and wildlife of Antarctica, our ship begins to head back north. As we make the return trip across the Drake Passage to Ushuaia, you'll have plenty of opportunities to enjoy this time at sea. Join the Expedition Team in the Science Center to delve into areas of interest in greater depth and contribute your observations to Citizen Science projects. Enlist the help of the onboard photographer to edit your photos. Relax with a treatment in the spa and wellness area, or take in the fresh sea air from the hot tubs on deck. Spend time in the Explorer Lounge & Bar with the new friends you've made on your trip and share experiences over a relaxing drink. ...

Enjoy an expedition finale in Buenos Aires. Your expedition cruise ends back where we set out from in Ushuaia, the main city in Tierra del Fuego. From here, you'll take a flight back to Buenos Aires, but if you're still in the mood for some more experiences it doesn't have to be the end of your adventure. Buenos Aires is a city rich in culture, with some amazing architecture and dining options. If you fancy lingering a while longer, why not join an optional Post-Program before heading home? ...
