This is one of our longest expeditions in Antarctica, departing at the peak of its summer and with an attempt to sail below the Antarctic Circle to try to reach the usually secluded yet magnificent Marguerite Bay.
Start and end in Buenos Aires
The Argentine capital is the birthplace of tango, a home to passionate football (soccer) fans, and a global hub of culture and cuisine. After an exciting first night here, you’ll head to Ushuaia to board your expedition ship and continue your journey south. To cross the Drake Passage is to reach the edge of the world, so weather and sea ice can be unpredictable. That’s why we don’t have a fixed itinerary when we travel to Antarctica. Instead, we carefully monitor current conditions and decide each day on the best sites to explore. It’s what we call ‘the expedition factor’.
Antarctica: a world of pure amazement
Get ready for ten full days in Antarctica, where immense icebergs and whales will leave you awestruck. You’ll spot species upon species of seabirds, and chuckle as penguins care for their chicks. The season’s milder weather may have created a path through the sea ice south of the Antarctic Circle, all the way to Marguerite Bay, where we hope to visit remote research stations. Join the Expedition Team in lectures, ice cruising, and landings along the way.
