Crossing the Antarctic Circle From Buenos Aires

Crossing the Antarctic Circle From Buenos Aires

Cast off from Ushuaia, Argentina, to embark on an adventure to one of the most beautiful and remote locations on the planet. Sail across the notorious Drake Passage bound for the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula. Explore a world covered in ice and snow; marvel at the odd shapes and spectacular hues of drifting icebergs; spot albatross, cormorants, seals, penguins and whales; and discover the land of the midnight sun – the blues and whites of Antarctica are truly breathtaking.

Activities

Highlights
