Day 1
Ushuaia, Argentina
Although its nickname the “End of the World”
– derived from its location along the southernmost tip of
South America among the Tierra del Fuego archipelago –
Ushuaia is far from the end of any adventure. Where the Andes meet the
Beagle Channel and the snow-capped Martial Mountains sit behind a
sprawling city of colorful buildings, lies a lively town ready and
waiting to take you on the thrill ride of a lifetime. Scenes like
Parque Yatana give you the chance to immerse yourself in the rich,
indigenous culture.
Day 2-3 Drake
Passage Navigation
Navigating the intrepid Drake Passage is made for the boldest of
explorers. Petrels and albatrosses that glide across the skies guide
the way. To witness its awesome power makes the journey to Antarctica
all the more triumphant.
The Drake Passage leads you from the southernmost region of the
Americas to the Antarctic Peninsula, the northern point of The White
Continent. This waterway where cold southern ocean meets warm northern
sea water creates powerful currents that test your mettle.
But the rewards for the journeyer that braves these waters do not
compare. The meeting of warm and cold waters creates an environment
that attracts extraordinary wildlife. Drake Passage offers the chance
to witness the likes of humpback whales and hourglass dolphins that
accompany the voyage. The soundtrack of the 48-hour journey through the
Drake Passage includes the crash of the ocean against the ship and the
cry of petrels, skuas, and gulls.
While the waterway is famous for its challenging navigation, you may
still get another side of the Drake Passage. On some occasions, the
channel is calm and tranquil, making for a pleasant voyage into
Antarctica. That’s one of the more splendid characteristics
of the Drake Passage – you never know what you will get.
As you emerge from the Drake Passage, the mammoth, icy peaks of the
South Shetland Islands loom ahead, greeting you on your victorious
landing. You have completed the rite of passage to explore the seventh
continent.
Day
4 Exploring the South
Shetland Islands – Captain’s Choice, Antarctica
Part of the greater Antarctica region, the South Shetland Islands
contain plenty of wildlife, scenic landscapes, hiking opportunities and
magnificent viewpoints that inspire a sense of discovering another
world. A possible landing on Elephant Island, named for the shape of
its cliffside and the elephant seals that call it home, puts you on the
same path as the famous Shackleton Expedition. Deception Island,
another possible landing and named for its very nature, is in fact a
volcanic caldera where you can find heated springs amid the striking
black sands. Other stops could include Half Moon Island, Yankee Harbor,
Point Wild and Barrientos Island, where you can find plenty of Gentoo
penguin rookeries.
CAPTAIN’S CHOICE – Captain’s Choice ports
of call add to the sense of adventure and an element of surprise. Your
ship’s captain will sail around changing weather conditions
as needed and take you to the best areas for wildlife viewing.
Day 5-7
Exploring
Antarctica- Captain’s Choice
Nicknamed The White Continent for its vast expanse of icebergs, snow
and glaciers, Antarctica is often the final frontier for experienced
explorers to conquer. As you navigate Antarctic waters, you may set
foot on sites like Beak Island, Brown Bluff, Cierva Cove, Hidden Bay
and many more. Each landing throughout the continent offers its own
unique landscape, from expansive tundra to rugged mountain peaks, all
beckoning you to follow the paths that few explorers have trekked
before.
