Fly Buenos Aires / Ushuaia
DAY 2
Time at Port: TBD
It’s time to say adiós to Buenos Aires, because you’re boarding a flight headed for Ushuaia. A resort town considered the capital of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, the southernmost tip of South America, Ushuaia is a gateway to Antarctica, alongside adventures to nearby islands teeming with remarkable wildlife and boasting impressive, rugged landscapes. This destination is nicknamed the ‘End of the World’ for a reason, and you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the Martial Mountains and Beagle Channel upon arrival.
Ushuaia
DAY 2
28 Nov 2024
Time at Port: TBD
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 3-4
29 Nov 2024
Time at Port: TBD
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.
Antarctica - Overnight onboard
DAY 5-9
01 Dec 2024
Time at Port: TBD
The southernmost continent, Antarctica is a fascinating destination that's often on people's bucket lists. The majority of ships that visit the continent go to the Antarctic Peninsula, which is known for its breathtaking scenery, including dozens of icebergs. Because of the peninsula's remote location, a variety of species, including numerous penguins, can be found there.
Things to do in Antarctica - Overnight onboard:
Sightseeing
There's no denying that Antarctica is a fantastic place to sightsee, and with the numerous penguins, whales (of which there are 8 different species inhabiting the continent) and other wildlife, you'll have an unforgettable time capturing pictures and taking in the sights.
Paradise Harbour
Between Duthiers Point and Leniz Point, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, lies a broad embayment known as Paradise Harbour. Named in 1920 by whalers, this captivating area is a must see when on an Antarctic voyage.
King George Island
The largest of the South Shetland Islands, this magical island takes its name after King George III. Known as the gateway to the continent, you'll find glaciers, rugged scenery and the fascinating Trinity Church.
