Day by day

Day 1: Ushuaia

Ushuaia is the southernmost tip of South America, and also called the End of the World. However, adventure does not end there. Ushuaia, a vibrant city located at the intersection of the Beagle Channel and the Andes Mountains, is a great place to experience the indigenous culture. Parque Yatana offers a unique opportunity to learn about indigenous cultures.

Day 2 & 3: Drake Passage

Drake Passage is only for the most daring explorers. Albatrosses and Petrels, which glide in the air, guide the way. Antarctica can be a thrilling journey, especially when you see the incredible power of this continent.

The Drake Passage will take you from America's Southernmost Region to The White Continent. It is a passage that links the warm waters from the north with cold water in southern oceans. The currents are strong and you will be tested.

These cold water journeys offer rewards that are unmatched. The combination of warm and cold waters creates a unique ecosystem that is home to a wide variety of wildlife. Drake Passage offers a chance to observe humpback whales, dolphins with hourglasses and many other animals. The Drake Passage is a 48-hour journey that includes ocean waves crashing against the ship and the sounds of petrels, skuas and other wildlife.

Even though the Drake Passage is notorious for its challenging nature, you can still view it from the other side. It can be a tranquil, calm channel that makes a voyage to Antarctica enjoyable. Drake Passage can be a great experience, because you never know what to expect.

South Shetland Islands welcome you when you arrive on South Shetland Islands, after successfully crossing the Drake Passage. You have now completed the rite of entrance to the 7th continent.
