Antarctic Explorer | Viking Octantis Expedition Ship

Your journey begins in Argentina’s vibrant capital. After arriving and checking into your hotel, immerse yourself in Buenos Aires’ unique blend of European elegance and Latin flair. Stroll along tree-lined avenues adorned with colonial architecture reflecting Spanish, French, and Italian influences. The city’s barrios each offer a distinct charm—San Telmo, with its cobblestone streets and Belle Époque buildings, resonates with the soulful rhythms of tango, while bustling cafés and bodegas showcase the city’s dynamic culture.

Following breakfast, transfer to the airport for a flight to Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city. Nestled between the Beagle Channel and the rugged Andes, this remote outpost is the gateway to Antarctica. It also serves as the capital of Tierra del Fuego, the legendary “Land of Fire,” named for the flickering flames that Indigenous Yámana people once used to combat the cold. This pristine region, composed of Argentina’s and Chile’s countless islands, is a striking landscape of untamed beauty.
