Ushuaia Roundtrip 11 Nights
Crossing the Antarctic Circle at the 66th southern parallel unlocks a world of unparalleled beauty and adventure. From stunning ice formations to rare wildlife sightings, every moment is a photographer's dream.

Embark on this extraordinary journey and create memories to last a lifetime.

Day by day

Day 1 : Ushuaia
Ushuaia, also known as the End of the World because of its position at the very southern tip of South America in the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago, is not the end of adventure. The vibrant town of Ushuaia is located where the Andes Mountains meet the Beagle Channel, and behind the colorful city lies the Martial Mountains. Parque Yatana is a great place to experience the indigenous culture.
Day 2 & 3 : Drake Passage

The most adventurous explorers will be able to navigate the Drake Passage. The way is guided by the albatrosses and petrels that glide through the sky. Antarctica is a triumphant journey when you witness the power of the continent.
The Drake Passage takes you to The White Continent, from the Southernmost Region of Americas. The Drake Passage is a waterway that connects the cold waters of southern seas with warm water from northern seas. This creates strong currents and will test you.

The rewards of a journey that takes on these cold waters are not comparable. It is the combination of cold and warm waters that creates an ecosystem where extraordinary wildlife can be found. Drake Passage is a great opportunity to see humpbacks whales, hourglass dolphins, and other wildlife. The 48-hour Drake Passage journey includes sounds of ocean crashing against the ship, petrels and gulls cries, as well as the roar of the ocean.

You can still see the other side of Drake Passage, even though it is known for being a challenging waterway. Sometimes, it is calm, making the journey into Antarctica a relaxing experience. Drake Passage is a wonderful experience because you can never be sure what to expect.

The South Shetland Islands greet you as you land on the South Shetland Islands after you have successfully crossed the Drake Passage. The rite of entry to the seventh continent is complete.
