Overview & Highlights

Set sail from Ushuaia, Argentina, and navigate through the Beagle Channel and Drake Passage to discover the untouched beauty of the Antarctic Peninsula. This voyage offers intimate encounters with majestic glaciers, towering icebergs, diverse wildlife, and, by continuing to the Antarctic Circle, provides more time and landing opportunities in remote, less visited regions than most other expedition cruises.

Set sail from the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia, Argentina. As you depart, the picturesque landscapes of Tierra del Fuego fade into the distance, and you find yourself navigating the legendary Beagle Channel. Your journey takes you across the Drake Passage, a rite of passage for Antarctic explorers, where the waters are as wild and untamed as the land you are about to discover.

As you approach the Antarctic Peninsula, majestic glaciers, towering icebergs, and a symphony of wildlife create a mesmerizing scene. Seals bask on ice floes, penguins waddle along the shoreline, and whales breach in the frigid waters. The air is crisp, and the silence is broken only by the distant calls of seabirds and the crackle of ice.

Each day of your expedition brings new adventures. Zodiac excursions offer close encounters with the awe-inspiring landscapes and wildlife, while expert guides provide insights into the region's history, geology, and ecology. Whether you are exploring the remnants of historic whaling stations, witnessing the vibrant colours of the Antarctic summer, or simply taking in the sheer beauty of the continent, every moment is a testament to the raw, untamed majesty of this frozen world.

Opting for an Antarctic Circle voyage gives you more time and landing opportunities than the standard Antarctica expedition cruises and you will visit more remote, less visited regions, only ever observed by a lucky few.

Please note: Many Antarctic expedition cruise operators offer early booking discounts and other restricted offers that depend on availability. Our advertised prices do not take these into account. Contact one of our Travel Experts for the best available rates.
