DAY BY DAY
A purpose to each day,
with the demanding parts made clear.
This is a representative rhythm for the journey. Cities, hotels, and sightseeing order may change by departure date. Before you decide, we review the final version with you point by point.
Fly to Ushuaia and board MS Roald Amundsen
Fly to Ushuaia and board the ship. Settle into your cabin, attend the safety briefing and meet the Expedition Team.
Cross the Drake Passage
Sail toward the Antarctic Peninsula. Join polar talks, learn landing procedures and visit the Science Center or observation areas. Sea conditions can be rough; follow the crew's advice.
Begin exploring the Antarctic Peninsula
Enter waters surrounded by icebergs and snow-covered mountains. The team plans small-boat cruising or landings as conditions permit, with opportunities to look for penguins, seals and other wildlife.
Weddell Sea: tabular icebergs and expedition history
The plan is to explore the Weddell Sea east of the peninsula, known for tabular icebergs and Shackleton's expedition history. Access, time spent here and landing sites depend on ice and weather. Emperor penguin sightings are not guaranteed.
Continue exploring the Antarctic Peninsula
Explore bays and islands with landings, small-boat cruising and onboard talks when conditions allow. The order can change. Ask separately about availability and charges for optional kayaking or camping.
Return across the Drake Passage
Sail north toward Ushuaia. Sort your photographs, join onboard activities and reflect on your time in Antarctica.
Disembark in Ushuaia and fly to Buenos Aires
Disembark and fly back to Buenos Aires. Allow sufficient time for onward international travel; do not book a tight connection before the domestic flight schedule is confirmed.
