Nicknamed the “End of the World”, Ushuaia is a charming windswept city on the southernmost tip of South America and an important port of call for cruise adventures to Antarctica. In the heart of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, this port is surrounded by some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world, boasting sensational sightseeing opportunities for everyone who travels here. From vibrant coastal forests and dramatic waterfalls to stunning glaciers and unique polar wildlife, Ushuaia really is somewhere where you’ll be able to bask in the sheer beauty of nature, and soak up some sensational panoramic views from the vantage points found here. This city, though, while being famous for being (arguably) the most southernmost city in the entire world, is also something of a gateway to Antarctica and the smaller islands that make up the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. So, despite being rather quaint in comparison to other Argentinian cities and South American holiday hotspots, what you’re met with in Ushuaia is just a taste of what’s to come – if you’re continuing onto Antarctica, anyway. That doesn’t mean you should be too eager to leave Ushuaia, though, as this port of call does offer a lot more than just breathtaking natural beauty. Ushuaia is also home to a unique collection of museums and some fantastic food; so, while the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the region is a major highlight, this is one destination that will prove to be just as memorable as everything else on your itinerary.
Whilst in the Falkland Islands, it's likely that you'll stop off in the the capital of Stanley. A a remote town that's known for its quaint architecture, scenery and the penguins that nest there. Top attractions that you won't want to miss when visiting Stanley include the Historic Dockyard Museum, the Christ Church Cathedral and the beautiful Gypsy Cove.

Things to do in Santiago (San Antonio):
Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts
The oldest fine arts museum in South America, the Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago is one of the world’s major centres for Chilean and South American art; established in 1880 and currently housed in the Palace of the Fine Arts – which was built in 1910 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Chilean independence – this museum boasts a collection of over 5,000 artworks.
La Moneda Palace
Once an impressive mint house during Chile’s colonial period, producing coins from 1814 to 1929, La Moneda Palace is the current seat of the president of the Republic of Chile and one of Santiago’s most famous landmarks. Occupying an entire block in the city’s Civic District, the neoclassical architectural style is influenced by Roman construction styles, affording the building a unique grandeur. It opens onto the Plaza de La Constitución, a neat city square that’s almost the same size as La Moneda Palace itself. The La Moneda Cultural Centre also sits just behind the palace, and you’ll find rotating art exhibitions, restaurants, and more within.
Sanctuary of the Immaculate Conception on San Cristóbal Hill
One of the principal places of worship for the Catholic Church of Chile, and somewhere that’s considered a symbol of the city of Santiago, the Sanctuary of the Immaculate Conception is a shrine made famous for its impressive statue of the Virgin Mary – symbolising the immaculate conception of Jesus Christ – that stands over 14 metres tall. Sitting atop San Cristóbal Hill, which means the statue stands over 850 metres above sea level, this sanctuary offers visitors incredible views of Santiago and the surrounding scenery.

Things to do in Ushuaia:
Tierra del Fuego National Park
An expansive national park that protects nearly 70,000 hectares of land, the Tierra del Fuego National Park combines marine areas, forests, and mountains to create a truly fascinating place worth exploring if you have the time while visiting Ushuaia. Here, you’ll find everything from luscious woodland and tumbling waterfalls to dramatic mountains and serene lakes. Throughout, you’ll also find evidence of the Yámanas, the first inhabitants of these lands, which serves to remind everyone who spends some time here that this region has been inhabited for more than 10,000 years. With so much to see, this is easily the best place to visit if you’re looking to switch off and embrace the great outdoors.
Museo del Fin del Mundo
If you want to learn more about the city of Ushuaia, Museo del fin del Mundo is the perfect place to go. A living heritage museum that explores the history and culture of Ushuaia and the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, the End of the World Museum (which is its name in English) is home to numerous exhibitions that explore the native history of this region, the local fauna and flora, the traditions and customs of the people here, and even some of the shipwrecks that have happened here over the centuries. Found in parts of the National Bank building and Old Government House, these impressive buildings only serve to highlight the importance of the museum and its contents.
Museo de la Ciudad
Also known as Casa Pena, this former private residence has served as the City Museum in Ushuaia since 2009; with an interesting selection of informative exhibits and historic items, this museum offers visitors a fantastic insight into what ordinary life was like in this city throughout the 20th century – which is when it was originally occupied by the Pena family.
Drake Passage - Cruising
DAY 13
24 Feb 2026
The Drake Passage is an iconic body of water between the southern tip of South America and Antarctica, connecting parts of the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean. Despite this stretch of water being discovered by Spanish navigator Francisco de Hoces in 1525, the passage is named after Sir Francis Drake, an English explorer who utilised this body of water during his Raiding Expedition in the mid-16th century. While rough seas are something you’ll come across quite frequently when cruising the Drake Passage, you can rest assured knowing that the modern expedition-style ships you’ll be sailing on are well-equipped to deal with any troublesome weather. In 2019, a team of six explorers were actually able to row across the entirety of the Drake Passage; though, while you’re unlikely to see anyone rowing while you’re cruising, you will have the chance to observe a variety of seabirds, whales, and dolphins – all of which are often spotted by sailors crossing the Drake Passage. With this journey often being a two-day event, you’ll also have plenty of time to enjoy all the excellent amenities available onboard your cruise ship – which is definitely a win-win!
Drake Passage - Cruising:
Seabirds
When the weather is agreeable, the Drake Passage is a hotspot for spotting seabirds, particularly species of albatross and petrel – both of which are among the largest species of flying birds in the world, with petrels known particularly for their wide wingspan. While the sightings you’re able to enjoy will vary, and there’s no guarantee when it comes to which species of seabird you’ll be able to spot, the Drake Passage provides you with a fantastic opportunity to see these birds hunting; albatross, in particular, are known to hunt both during the day and at night.
Whales
Cruising the Drake Passage is a fantastic opportunity to see several species of whale in the wild, with finback whales, sei whales, humpback whales, sperm whales, and blue whales all among the species that have been spotted in this body of water before. Although, it’s important to keep in mind that there’s no guarantees when it comes to the wildlife sightings you’ll have the chance to enjoy while onboard, and the success of whale-watching in the Drake Passage can vary depending on things like the weather conditions and the time of year you’re travelling.
Dolphins
When cruising the Drake Passage, you may be able to spot pods of dolphins from your cruise ship. While there’s no guarantee, as sightings can be unpredictable and are affected by the weather and the time of year you’re travelling, hourglass dolphin and southern right whale dolphin are among the aquatic mammals that have been spotted in this body of water before.
Antarctic Peninsula - Cruising
DAY 14-17
25 Feb 2026
During this part of your Antarctic adventure, you’ll be cruising around the Antarctic Peninsula. This area of the continent is part of the larger peninsula of West Antarctica, from Cape Adams to a point on the mainland that lies just south of the Eklund Islands. Primarily covered by a thick ice sheet, this peninsula is made up of a string of bedrock islands divided by deep channels considerably below sea level. While cruising through this region, you’ll have the chance to admire some staggering icy landscapes alongside an interesting variety of wildlife, thanks to the fact that this is among the more temperate areas of the continent’s coastline. Several species of penguin, seal, and whale call this area home, alongside a variety of seabirds. So, while specific sightings can vary and are often dependent on the current weather conditions, you can rest assured knowing that there will be plenty to admire while cruising the Antarctic Peninsula.
Antarctic Peninsula - Cruising:
Penguins
While cruising the Antarctic Peninsula, you’ll have the opportunity to spot several species of penguin in their natural habitat. The species of penguin that can be found here, particularly around the tip of the peninsula itself, include the chinstrap penguin, emperor penguin, gentoo penguin, and Adélie penguin. The specific sightings you enjoy, though, will vary depending on the current weather conditions and the time of year you’re exploring Antarctica.
Whales
These magnificent mammals are among the most incredible sights you can see while cruising the Antarctic Peninsula, and the waters surrounding this remarkable part of Antarctica are home to several species of whale, including the Antarctic minke whale, dwarf minke whale, sei whale, and killer whale. The specific sightings you enjoy, though, will vary depending on the current weather conditions and the time of year you’re exploring Antarctica.
Seals
Several species of seal can be spotted while cruising around the Antarctic Peninsula, including the leopard seal, Weddell seal, crabeater seal, and the huge southern elephant seal. It’s important to keep in mind, though, that the specific sightings you enjoy will vary depending on the current weather conditions and the time of year you’re exploring Antarctica.

Excellent cruise . ship in good condition. Room spacious ( balcony) Kept perfectly by steward. Aircon warm over night only issue.
Shower and bath shower not . massive but large enough.
Food very good a few misses mainly at breakfast when order almost always slightly wrong but not an issue as always trivial. Specialities all good though Jacques not as special as remember from previous cruise but Polo and Toscano better and Red Ginger still exceptional Overall maybe not quite as luxury as when sailed 9 years ago particularly in buffet less steak and lobster but nothing to cause concern . All staff wonderful and ship never seemed busy . Istanbul cruise port a nightmare but great once on ship. Disembarkation in Athens really easy.

Things to do in Santiago (San Antonio):
Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts
The oldest fine arts museum in South America, the Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago is one of the world’s major centres for Chilean and South American art; established in 1880 and currently housed in the Palace of the Fine Arts – which was built in 1910 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Chilean independence – this museum boasts a collection of over 5,000 artworks.
La Moneda Palace
Once an impressive mint house during Chile’s colonial period, producing coins from 1814 to 1929, La Moneda Palace is the current seat of the president of the Republic of Chile and one of Santiago’s most famous landmarks. Occupying an entire block in the city’s Civic District, the neoclassical architectural style is influenced by Roman construction styles, affording the building a unique grandeur. It opens onto the Plaza de La Constitución, a neat city square that’s almost the same size as La Moneda Palace itself. The La Moneda Cultural Centre also sits just behind the palace, and you’ll find rotating art exhibitions, restaurants, and more within.
Sanctuary of the Immaculate Conception on San Cristóbal Hill
One of the principal places of worship for the Catholic Church of Chile, and somewhere that’s considered a symbol of the city of Santiago, the Sanctuary of the Immaculate Conception is a shrine made famous for its impressive statue of the Virgin Mary – symbolising the immaculate conception of Jesus Christ – that stands over 14 metres tall. Sitting atop San Cristóbal Hill, which means the statue stands over 850 metres above sea level, this sanctuary offers visitors incredible views of Santiago and the surrounding scenery.

23 Feb 2026
Time at Port: from 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM
Nicknamed the “End of the World”, Ushuaia is a charming windswept city on the southernmost tip of South America and an important port of call for cruise adventures to Antarctica. In the heart of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, this port is surrounded by some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world, boasting sensational sightseeing opportunities for everyone who travels here. From vibrant coastal forests and dramatic waterfalls to stunning glaciers and unique polar wildlife, Ushuaia really is somewhere where you’ll be able to bask in the sheer beauty of nature, and soak up some sensational panoramic views from the vantage points found here. This city, though, while being famous for being (arguably) the most southernmost city in the entire world, is also something of a gateway to Antarctica and the smaller islands that make up the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. So, despite being rather quaint in comparison to other Argentinian cities and South American holiday hotspots, what you’re met with in Ushuaia is just a taste of what’s to come – if you’re continuing onto Antarctica, anyway. That doesn’t mean you should be too eager to leave Ushuaia, though, as this port of call does offer a lot more than just breathtaking natural beauty. Ushuaia is also home to a unique collection of museums and some fantastic food; so, while the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the region is a major highlight, this is one destination that will prove to be just as memorable as everything else on your itinerary.
Things to do in Ushuaia:
Tierra del Fuego National Park
An expansive national park that protects nearly 70,000 hectares of land, the Tierra del Fuego National Park combines marine areas, forests, and mountains to create a truly fascinating place worth exploring if you have the time while visiting Ushuaia. Here, you’ll find everything from luscious woodland and tumbling waterfalls to dramatic mountains and serene lakes. Throughout, you’ll also find evidence of the Yámanas, the first inhabitants of these lands, which serves to remind everyone who spends some time here that this region has been inhabited for more than 10,000 years. With so much to see, this is easily the best place to visit if you’re looking to switch off and embrace the great outdoors.
Museo del Fin del Mundo
If you want to learn more about the city of Ushuaia, Museo del fin del Mundo is the perfect place to go. A living heritage museum that explores the history and culture of Ushuaia and the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, the End of the World Museum (which is its name in English) is home to numerous exhibitions that explore the native history of this region, the local fauna and flora, the traditions and customs of the people here, and even some of the shipwrecks that have happened here over the centuries. Found in parts of the National Bank building and Old Government House, these impressive buildings only serve to highlight the importance of the museum and its contents.
Museo de la Ciudad
Also known as Casa Pena, this former private residence has served as the City Museum in Ushuaia since 2009; with an interesting selection of informative exhibits and historic items, this museum offers visitors a fantastic insight into what ordinary life was like in this city throughout the 20th century – which is when it was originally occupied by the Pena family.
Drake Passage - Cruising
DAY 13
24 Feb 2026
The Drake Passage is an iconic body of water between the southern tip of South America and Antarctica, connecting parts of the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean. Despite this stretch of water being discovered by Spanish navigator Francisco de Hoces in 1525, the passage is named after Sir Francis Drake, an English explorer who utilised this body of water during his Raiding Expedition in the mid-16th century. While rough seas are something you’ll come across quite frequently when cruising the Drake Passage, you can rest assured knowing that the modern expedition-style ships you’ll be sailing on are well-equipped to deal with any troublesome weather. In 2019, a team of six explorers were actually able to row across the entirety of the Drake Passage; though, while you’re unlikely to see anyone rowing while you’re cruising, you will have the chance to observe a variety of seabirds, whales, and dolphins – all of which are often spotted by sailors crossing the Drake Passage. With this journey often being a two-day event, you’ll also have plenty of time to enjoy all the excellent amenities available onboard your cruise ship – which is definitely a win-win!
Drake Passage - Cruising:
Seabirds
When the weather is agreeable, the Drake Passage is a hotspot for spotting seabirds, particularly species of albatross and petrel – both of which are among the largest species of flying birds in the world, with petrels known particularly for their wide wingspan. While the sightings you’re able to enjoy will vary, and there’s no guarantee when it comes to which species of seabird you’ll be able to spot, the Drake Passage provides you with a fantastic opportunity to see these birds hunting; albatross, in particular, are known to hunt both during the day and at night.
Whales
Cruising the Drake Passage is a fantastic opportunity to see several species of whale in the wild, with finback whales, sei whales, humpback whales, sperm whales, and blue whales all among the species that have been spotted in this body of water before. Although, it’s important to keep in mind that there’s no guarantees when it comes to the wildlife sightings you’ll have the chance to enjoy while onboard, and the success of whale-watching in the Drake Passage can vary depending on things like the weather conditions and the time of year you’re travelling.
Dolphins
When cruising the Drake Passage, you may be able to spot pods of dolphins from your cruise ship. While there’s no guarantee, as sightings can be unpredictable and are affected by the weather and the time of year you’re travelling, hourglass dolphin and southern right whale dolphin are among the aquatic mammals that have been spotted in this body of water before.
Antarctic Peninsula - Cruising
DAY 14-17
25 Feb 2026
During this part of your Antarctic adventure, you’ll be cruising around the Antarctic Peninsula. This area of the continent is part of the larger peninsula of West Antarctica, from Cape Adams to a point on the mainland that lies just south of the Eklund Islands. Primarily covered by a thick ice sheet, this peninsula is made up of a string of bedrock islands divided by deep channels considerably below sea level. While cruising through this region, you’ll have the chance to admire some staggering icy landscapes alongside an interesting variety of wildlife, thanks to the fact that this is among the more temperate areas of the continent’s coastline. Several species of penguin, seal, and whale call this area home, alongside a variety of seabirds. So, while specific sightings can vary and are often dependent on the current weather conditions, you can rest assured knowing that there will be plenty to admire while cruising the Antarctic Peninsula.
Antarctic Peninsula - Cruising:
Penguins
While cruising the Antarctic Peninsula, you’ll have the opportunity to spot several species of penguin in their natural habitat. The species of penguin that can be found here, particularly around the tip of the peninsula itself, include the chinstrap penguin, emperor penguin, gentoo penguin, and Adélie penguin. The specific sightings you enjoy, though, will vary depending on the current weather conditions and the time of year you’re exploring Antarctica.
Whales
These magnificent mammals are among the most incredible sights you can see while cruising the Antarctic Peninsula, and the waters surrounding this remarkable part of Antarctica are home to several species of whale, including the Antarctic minke whale, dwarf minke whale, sei whale, and killer whale. The specific sightings you enjoy, though, will vary depending on the current weather conditions and the time of year you’re exploring Antarctica.
Seals
Several species of seal can be spotted while cruising around the Antarctic Peninsula, including the leopard seal, Weddell seal, crabeater seal, and the huge southern elephant seal.
