Day by day

Day 1 : Ushuaia: Beagle Channel & Chile: Puerto Williams

Embark on your journey in Ushuaia, Argentina, at the pier. After boarding your ship in the afternoon, sail along the Beagle Channel toward Puerto Williams, Chile – the southernmost town globally. Take time to explore the surroundings before heading to Cape Horn.

Day 2 : Nassau Bay & Cape Horn

Following an overnight crossing of Nassau Bay, you wake up with a clear view of the legendary Cape Horn! If the weather allows, hop on a Zodiac and become one of the privileged few to set foot on this renowned and seldom-visited island. Upon returning to the ship, continue the journey towards Antarctica, crossing the renowned passage named in honor of Sir Francis Drake, the eminent 16th-century British explorer.
