Longitudinal World Cruise VII

From the Antarctic Tundra to the Great Lakes

Journey from Antarctica’s untouched wilderness to the storied waters of the Great Lakes, discovering breathtaking landscapes and dynamic cities along the way. Cruise along Chile’s pristine coastline, navigate the iconic Panama Canal, and soak up the tropical allure of The Bahamas. Experience the colonial and maritime heritage of eastern Canada, marvel at the majesty of Niagara Falls, and explore vibrant destinations like Toronto and New York. For an even greater adventure, embark on optional overland excursions to Machu Picchu and the Galápagos as you traverse the wonders of the Western Hemisphere.

Day by day

Day 1 : Buenos Aires, Argentina

Upon arrival, check in to your hotel and settle into the vibrant energy of Buenos Aires, Argentina’s cosmopolitan capital. This dynamic city blends Latin passion with European charm, reflected in its tree-lined avenues and postcolonial architecture influenced by Spanish, French, and Italian heritage. While its lively cafés, bodegas, and bustling nightlife are quintessentially Argentine, its diverse barrios (neighborhoods) create an inviting, intimate feel despite the city's vast size. The historic district of San Telmo, with its cobblestone streets and elegant Belle Époque buildings, exudes bohemian charm, where the haunting melodies of tango fill the air.

Day 2 : Ushuaia, Argentina

After breakfast, check out of your hotel and board your charter flight to your embarkation city. Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city, is nestled between the Beagle Channel and the rugged, snow-capped slopes of the Andes, giving it a remote, frontier-like atmosphere. The city is a hub for Antarctic explorers preparing for expeditions that set sail from its port. As the capital and gateway to the famed Tierra del Fuego—Spanish for "Land of Fire"—Ushuaia carries a name inspired by the perpetual fires once kept burning by the indigenous Yámana people for warmth. This largely untouched region includes the vast island of Tierra del Fuego along with numerous Chilean and Argentine islands scattered throughout its waters.
