Visiting Antarctica is one of the greatest wildlife experiences imaginable
On this voyage you will experience the fantastic Drake approach from Ushuaia to the White Continent and return back in comfort on a 2-hour flight after a stunning cruise along the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands. This is a true expedition voyage with zodiac landings at penguin rookeries and fascinating lookouts along the way.
Duration: 7 days
Starts: Ushuaia, Argentina
Ends: Punta Arenas, Chile
Language: English Speaking Voyage
Departing Ushuaia in Argentina, you cross the mighty Drake Passage, followed by the ever-present seabirds and whales. With its patented reclining bow and efficient stabilizers, the brand-new vessel, Ocean Albatros, cuts through the waves to give smoother and more comfortable sailing towards South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula. Continuing southward, deep into the inlets of Antarctica, you pass the famous Gerlache Strait, where 3000-ft ice cliffs rise straight out of the still water. The cruise ends at King George Island where you board a strong 4-engine jet for the flight back to the South American continent. After a comfortable 2-hour flight you land in Punta Arenas in Chile. On no other journey can you experience so much pristine nature and varied wildlife in so few days!
Any voyage to Antarctica is an adventure, but this cruise offers a unique experience for the few. Shore landings, excursions, lectures and Zodiac safaris are easily accommodated to help you enjoy an unrivalled expedition experience. Onboard the brand new strong, Ice Class 1A expedition vessel, Ocean Albatros, it is sure to get close to the dramatic coastlines. Zodiac cruising and shore landings are an important and considerable part of the planned itinerary, hopefully enabling all expedition guests to set foot on the Antarctic continent, as well as the surrounding islands.
