Itinerary
DAY 1 | ARRIVE IN BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA Upon arriving in this splendid city, known for its architecture and rich European heritage, you will independently transfer to your group hotel (pre-expedition hotel night included in mandatory transfer package). DAY 2 | FLY TO USHUAIA & EMBARK After an early breakfast at the hotel, the group will transfer to the airport and board our private charter flight to Ushuaia, Argentina. Upon arrival, you will be transferred from the airport to a central downtown location to have some time on your own to explore this quaint port town before making your way to the pier.
As the ship sets sail in the late afternoon, you will begin your Antarctic journey, passing through the Beagle Channel. Named after the famed ship on which Charles Darwin voyaged, the channel presents great photo opportunities of landscapes and seabirds. Eventually the channel opens up to the Southern Ocean, and onwards to Antarctica. DAYS 3 & 4 | CROSSING THE DRAKE PASSAGE Your days at sea are filled with presentations led by your Expedition Team on photography, wildlife, glaciology, and history In between presentations, spend time on deck looking for wildlife or chatting with your shipmates over a drink at the bar.
