Ushuaia to Antarctica Adventure & Cruise

• Start exploring Antarctica

From Ushuaia to Antarctica, you make it! Rocky white and grey landscapes will be the sign you finally are in the withe continent. Your first explorative navigation will take you to spot the increasing wildlife (Humpback whales, sea elephants, Weddell seals, and penguins), passing by the snow-covered Melchor Island. The Antarctica cruise will enter the Schollaert Channel flowing between the incredible Bravant and Amber Island.

• Base camp in Naumayer Channel

The Antarctica cruise will touch base in the Neumayer Channel and make a profit from the preserved waters surrounding Wiencke Island. Depending on the weather conditions, you will be able to explore the continent in different ways. Take your snowshoes and go for an inland hike and easy mountains to climb, or set sail again but in a Zodiac boat or a kayak and enjoy the ride.

• Visit Port Lockroy’s ex-research station & meet Gentoo penguins

Keep navigating the Neumayer Channel and reach Port Lockroy in Goudier Island, the ex-British research station functioning until 1962. Enjoy the museum and learn more about life in Antarctica. Visit the southernmost post office in the world, then get your passport stamped and get your Antarctica Continent honorific bach. Finally, spot Gentoo penguins in the surroundings, half of the place is reserved for human visitors while the other half is exclusively for penguin waddling.

• Kayak, walks, and amazing Antarctic wildlife.

Jump on the cruise again and navigate to Pléneau and Petermann Island. Some of the day’s activities include glacier walking and kayaking, but mostly, spotting amazing Antarctic wildlife. This is a crowded floating icebergs area, but if the way is clear, you will sail the Lemaire Channel searching for blue-eye shags, Adélie penguins, minke whales, and leopard seals which mostly live no other else than Antarctica.

Time to enjoy a Zodiac experience to admire the stunning Antarctica peaks. Neko Harbour is your chance to see giant glaciers and take a walk to get closer than ever to the alpine peaks of the White Continent.

• One-night camping experience on the White Continent

An out-of-the-world experience, a time travel to the days of the first polar explorers, today you will have the opportunity to sleep beneath the Antarctic sky. Enjoy the white silence and discover the sounds of the millenary ice.

• Last stops and sailing back to Ushuaia

Continue navigating the waters of the Península and enjoy your last day near the coast. Weather permitting, you will visit Orne, Curverville, and Rongé Island, among others. The Antarctica cruise will start its journey back to Ushuaia, passing by Melchior Island until reaching the Drake Passage again. There is a chance you can make a one-last stop in Half Moon Island in the South Shetlands, but it will depend on the weather forecast for the Drake Passage.
