Departure Ushuaia

Embark on a breathtaking 22-day journey that fuses the untamed majesty of Antarctica with the serene wilderness of Chile’s fjord region. Starting from Ushuaia, this expedition takes you across remote islands, icy seascapes, and glacier-carved channels—offering an unparalleled experience of the Southern Hemisphere.

The adventure begins in the Falkland Islands, where rolling green hills meet rugged coastlines teeming with life. Come face-to-face with rockhopper penguins, black-browed albatrosses, and sea lions, while stepping into the islands’ rich cultural and maritime history.

Continue on to the spectacular wildlife haven of South Georgia, a remote land defined by towering peaks, glacial valleys, and beaches blanketed with king penguins and elephant seals. Visit historic whaling stations, trace the story of Shackleton’s final journey, and witness some of the planet’s most awe-inspiring natural spectacles.

Sailing further south, reach the untouched shores of the Antarctic Peninsula, where monumental icebergs drift across still waters and whales breach beneath towering cliffs of ice. Zodiac landings bring you up close to Gentoo penguins, seals, and other native species in a world of absolute purity and silence.

From Antarctica, the expedition takes a dramatic turn northward into the hidden gems of Chile’s fjord world. Navigate narrow channels lined with waterfalls, ancient forests, and massive glaciers. Explore isolated communities like Puerto Edén, home to one of the last remaining Indigenous Kawésqar groups, and experience the raw, mystical beauty of Patagonia from a unique sea-bound perspective.

This voyage blends polar adventure with deep cultural and ecological immersion. With guided shore landings, wildlife-rich encounters, and a thoughtful approach to exploration, it offers a transformative journey through Earth’s last wild frontiers.
