Christmas & New Year in Antarctica
About This Itinerary
Come on a real Antarctic adventure and be part of the best expedition team in the world! As your small expedition ship leaves the port of Ushuaia, Argentina, you’ll cruise south through the infamous Drake Passage on the way to Antarctica. You’ll already be able to spot albatross and other rare seabirds on your voyage to the peninsula. Look out for the South Shetland Islands, the first sighting stop on the way to the White Continent: you’ll learn about the islands’ rich history and get the best opportunities to spot wildlife. Continue further south and finally set foot on the Antarctic Peninsula! This moment will make the heart of any avid explorer beat a little faster. Nothing can compare to the feeling you get from adding the most remote continent on the planet to your list of travelled places. Majestic mountains, glaciers, towering icebergs and the unique scenery of Antarctica await you. Expect incredible penguin and wildlife encounters. Sail the Gerlache Strait - a paradise for photographers and adventurers! And our active expeditioners will enjoy sea kayaking and Antarctica camping.
