Upon your arrival in Ushuaia, a representative will greet you and transfer you to your designated pre-voyage hotel. If you're already in Ushuaia, please proceed to your hotel with check-in available from 3.00 pm. Later in the day, between 3.00 pm and 7.00 pm, visit the hospitality desk at Las Hayas Ushuaia Resort, located at Luis Fernando Martial 1650, to obtain your luggage tags and confirm your participation in the Beagle Channel and Isla de Los Lobos Cruise for the following day. The team will provide embarkation details, address your inquiries, and offer guidance on dining and last-minute purchases. Travelers arriving after 7.00 pm will receive a welcome pack at check-in and are requested to visit the hospitality desk the next morning between 8.00 am and 10.00 am. The rest of the day is free, and meals are at your own expense. Your assigned accommodation will be at either Las Hayas Ushuaia Resort or Los Acebos Ushuaia Hotel.

This morning, enjoy breakfast and check-out. Please ensure your cabin luggage is fitted with cabin tags clearly labelled with your name and cabin number. Take your cabin luggage to hotel reception, prior to, or at check-out. Your luggage will be stored and transferred directly to the port for clearance, to be placed in your cabin ahead of your arrival on board. Please keep any valuables or personal items with you throughout the day.

Your morning is at leisure to explore Ushuaia. 

Those wishing to join the afternoon catamaran cruise, meet back at the hotel lobby at 12.45 pm ready to transfer to the port at 1.00 pm. Here we board the catamaran and sail the Beagle Channel, towards the city’s iconic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse. Crossing the Bridges Archipelago we’ll slow down to watch colonies of sea lions and imperial cormorants sun themselves on the rocky outcrops, while gulls, rock cormorants, skuas, petrels, albatrosses and cauquenes are often sighted. The cruise offers panoramic views of the city and the surrounding mountain range, in addition to hearing tales of the people and communities of the region. 

Alternatively, enjoy your day at leisure and meet at your hotel lobby at 3.00 pm to be transferred to the pier for embarkation. 

Once onboard, you’ll have time to settle into your cabin before the important mandatory briefings. As the ship pulls away from port, we’ll gather on the deck to commence th adventure with spectacular views over Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego.

This evening get to know your fellow expeditioners and friendly expedition team and crew at a welcome dinner to celebrate the start of a thrilling adventure to Antarctica.
