Itinerary

100% customisable for you

Your Antarctic adventure begins with an evening, 14-hour flight from London to Buenos Aires. You will fly through the night, arriving early morning Argentinian time.

As you've arrived early this morning, it's time for a spot of brunch before you transfer to the domestic airport in Buenos Aires (Jorge Newbery International Airport). From here you'll fly to Ushuaia Airport in the south of Argentina, which takes around three-and-a-half hours, and arrive in the evening. You'll be staying in Ushuaia tonight, so take the rest of the day to relax - enjoy the spa, wander the trails, or unwind and soak up your beautiful surroundings before your Antarctic expedition begins tomorrow.

Over the next three days you'll explore the waterways of the Antarctic Peninsula by inflatable Zodiac boats and have the chance to experience icebergs up close. Your expedition leader and Captain will be able to adapt the itinerary based on the elements so that you have the best chance to enjoy Mother Nature. They'll aim for the most scenic bays and channels of the peninsula with stops at penguin rookeries, seal wallows, bird colonies and whale feeding areas, as well as sites of historic and scientific interest.

Wildlife wonder continues as you spot Adelie, chinstrap and gentoo penguins, as well as Weddell, crabeater and elephant seals who can be found hanging out with their cousins, the leopard seal and fur seal.

Depending on the season, you may also have the opportunity to see humpback whales and orcas as they migrate through the area. Just another bucket list item to tick off on this epic expedition to Antarctica.

After your last night on the water, you'll disembark in Ushuaia this morning in time to catch a flight to Buenos Aires' Jorge Newbery International Airport. You'll stay in Buenos Aires tonight and acclimatise slowly to being back on solid ground with a lovely dinner at one of the city's top restaurants. Our clued-up Concierge can recommend and book the best.
