Iguazu Falls & Highlights of Antarctica with Stays, 25 December 2025 (17 nights)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Antarctica is home to a fantastic variety of wildlife endemic to this southern polar region, and you’ll have the chance to see some of these incredible animals in their natural habitat while sailing through the icy waters surrounding this incredible continent. While there are no guarantees on what you will see, as this will depend on the weather conditions (which may affect the visibility from aboard your cruise ship) and timing of your Antarctic cruise (as some of this region's inhabitants may simply be elsewhere when you're sailing by), this region is home to numerous species of penguin, seals, whales and more.

During your time spent cruising through the scenic waters surrounding Antarctica, you might be able to spot a pod of humpback whales from your cruise ship. An acrobatic species of baleen whale, humpback whales are crowd-pleasers for a reason. They like to put on a show for passing travellers, boasting a distinctive body shape that features longer pectoral fins and tubercles on their heads. Migrating to the waters around Antarctica during the southern hemisphere’s summer months, the best time to spot these whales is between December and March.

While cruising through the waters around Antarctica, you may be met with the chance to spot an Adélie penguin from your cruise ship. One of the most popular species of penguin along the entire coast of the Antarctic continent, the Adélie penguin is endemic to this icy desert. They’re a mid-sized penguin species, with a black head and throat helping them stand out against the ice. Their beak is also predominantly black, occasionally sporting a reddish-brown tip. Breeding season is the best time of year to see these penguins, from November to March.
