Embark on this unforgettable 11-day voyage to Antarctica during its extraordinary whale season—when the Southern Ocean bursts with life and the icy wilderness hums with energy. Your adventure begins in Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city, before sailing through the fabled Drake Passage en route to the Antarctic Peninsula. Along the way, seabirds soar above and the first icebergs drift into view, signaling your arrival in one of the planet’s most remote and awe-inspiring realms.
Arriving at the South Shetland Islands, you’ll find a world of contrasts—towering glaciers, volcanic landscapes, and bustling penguin rookeries alive with Gentoo and Chinstrap penguins. This is also the peak feeding period for Humpback whales, and sightings of these gentle giants are frequent and unforgettable as they surface and breach in krill-rich waters.
As your expedition continues along the Antarctic Peninsula, every day brings new marvels: Zodiac cruises through iceberg-studded bays, visits to scientific research stations, and encounters with playful seals and curious whales. Your onboard team of polar experts will enrich your journey with fascinating lectures and opportunities to participate in Citizen Science initiatives that contribute to real-world research.
Crossing the Drake Passage back toward South America, you’ll reflect on the profound beauty and fragility of this polar world—its silence, its scale, and the sense of achievement that comes with having explored one of the most remote corners of the Earth. Perfect for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, and adventurers alike, this voyage promises encounters and memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
