This morning, savor your breakfast and complete the check-out process. Make sure that your carry-on luggage is equipped with cabin tags clearly marked with your name and cabin number. Bring your cabin luggage to the hotel reception either before or during check-out, where it will be stored and later transferred directly to the port for clearance, ready to be placed in your cabin upon your arrival on board. Remember to keep any valuables or personal items with you throughout the day.

You have the morning free to explore Ushuaia at your own pace.

For those interested in the afternoon catamaran cruise, gather at the hotel lobby at 12.45 pm for a transfer to the port at 1.00 pm. Board the catamaran and sail through the Beagle Channel, heading towards the iconic Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse. Along the way, observe colonies of sea lions and imperial cormorants basking on rocky outcrops, with various bird species often in sight. The cruise provides stunning panoramic views of the city and the surrounding mountain range, accompanied by tales of the region's people and communities.

Alternatively, if you prefer a leisurely day, meet at the hotel lobby at 3.45 pm for a transfer to the pier for embarkation.

Once on board, take time to settle into your cabin before attending important mandatory briefings. As the ship departs from the port, gather on the deck to kick off the adventure with breathtaking views over Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego.

In the evening, familiarize yourself with your fellow expeditioners, as well as the friendly expedition team and crew, during a welcome dinner to celebrate the beginning of an exciting adventure to Antarctica.
