Join us aboard a 10- to 11-day expedition to experience the majesty of Antarctica, Earth’s last frontier, up close.

This cruise begins in Ushuaia, Argentina, and after embarkation heads south to navigate the always unpredictable Drake Passage with the goal of reaching the South Shetland Islands on the afternoon of the third day.

Once in Antarctica, the cruise will venture into the inlets and bays of the Peninsula and will also enter the famous Gerlache Strait, where ice cliffs and steep peaks rise directly from the water. During the trip, daily zodiac landings will allow guests to set foot on land and visit colonies of penguins, lions and elephant seals, and solitary seals resting on the icebergs. While wildlife sightings are subject to the vagaries of nature, jaw-dropping scenery is guaranteed.

During the cruise there will also be moments dedicated to environmental education and science through informative and educational talks, where experts and specialized guides will share their knowledge about the ecology and conservation of the fragile ecosystem of the seventh continent.

This expedition is much more than just a cruise trip, it is the opportunity to connect deeply with the purest and most remote nature on the planet.

The Shetland Islands

120 km from the Antarctic Peninsula, the Shetland Islands archipelago, of volcanic origin, consists of 11 larger islands and numerous small islands covered in 80% ice.

Antarctic Peninsula

The Antarctic Peninsula is part of a mountain range about 800 km long that rises above sea level in the Scotia Arc, a product of the collision of the tectonic plate that bears the same name and the Antarctic plate. Here, the highest peaks can reach 2,800 meters above sea level.

The Peninsula offers a dramatic setting dominated by towering peaks and gigantic glaciers, as well as a wide variety of wildlife including Gentoo Penguins, Adélie Penguins, Emperor Penguins, Weddell Seals, Crabeater Seals and Leopard Seals.
