The adventure truly starts as you head across the Drake Passage, where the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific meet the Southern Ocean. This dynamic stretch of sea is rich in nutrients and home to an abundance of seabirds and marine life.

During the crossing, take in expert presentations on polar wildlife, geology, and exploration history. Out on deck, watch for soaring albatross, darting petrels, or perhaps the blow of a whale. Adventure briefings prepare you for optional activities such as kayaking or snowshoeing. By the third evening, the first glistening icebergs announce your approach to Antarctica.

For the next several days, immerse yourself in the untamed wilderness of Antarctica. No two voyages are ever the same—each day’s plan adapts to weather and ice conditions, ensuring maximum exploration and discovery.

Adventure Highlights:

Kayaking: Paddle through serene, icy waters, surrounded by sculpted icebergs, curious seals, and diving penguins.
Snowshoeing: Trek across snowy ridges and glacial terrains to reach stunning viewpoints.
Zodiac Cruises: Navigate ice-filled waters for close-up views of wildlife and ice formations.

Scenic Waterways:
Sail through some of Antarctica’s most iconic passages, such as the Gerlache Strait, Errera Channel, and Lemaire Channel, often referred to as the “Kodak Gap” for its spectacular scenery.

With over 500 diverse landing sites along the Antarctic Peninsula, no two voyages are ever the same.

Wildlife enthusiasts will be thrilled by close encounters with Adélie, Gentoo, and Chinstrap Penguins, as well as crabeater, Weddell, and leopard seals. Keep an eye out for Minke, humpback, and orca whales feeding in the nutrient-rich waters. This journey sets the compass south, aiming for the elusive Polar Circle – a true expedition for explorers.

The return voyage across the Drake offers time to absorb the experience, exchange stories, and enjoy the final lectures or workshops. Keep your binoculars handy—seabirds and whales are often spotted in these waters. A farewell dinner rounds out the celebration of your adventure.

In the early morning, the ship arrives in Ushuaia. After breakfast, disembark with a wealth of new memories, photographs, and stories from one of the most extraordinary journeys on Earth.
