Day by day

Day 1 : Ushuaia

Ushuaia, the capital of Tierra del Fuego province in Argentina, serves as the gateway to Antarctica and the South Pole. Known as “El fin del mundo” (The End of the World), this city sits at the edge of the world, sheltered by mountains and surrounded by fertile plains that wildlife have made their sanctuary. With its unique location where the Andes meet the sea, Ushuaia is a captivating destination, symbolizing journeys to remote and inaccessible places.

Day 2 : At Sea

Enjoy a range of onboard services and activities during your sea journey. Relax in the spa, stay active in the fitness center, or, depending on the weather, use the swimming pool and sunbathe. With no port calls today, take advantage of onboard lectures, shows, shopping opportunities, or meet photographers. For those who love the open sea, the upper deck offers spectacular views of the waves and a chance to spot marine wildlife. This is a time for comfort, relaxation, and entertainment.
