Day 1 Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
Getting to this frontier town is easy, because the local airport is served by flights from Buenos Aires, Argentina and Santiago, Chile. We've included a night at one of the city's good hotels, to ensure you don't miss a moment of the expedition.

Day 2 Embarkation Day
Transfer you to the ship for embarkation.

Day 3-4 The Drake Passage
Become familiar with the ship on this your first full day at sea. Members of the Expedition Team keep you company on deck, identifying seabirds that glide along side of the ship for miles at a time.

Day 5-8 Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands
Shore landings are announced the night before in the daily program delivered to your cabin. Your exploration of the Antarctic Peninsula may include visits to penguin rookeries, research stations and encounters
Although each voyage is painstakingly planned, it is impossible to provide prior to departure a definitive summary of the journey you'll experience. The Expedition Leader in cooperation with the ship's Captain adjusts the route as the expedition unfolds to take advantage of the best weather and ice conditions. For this reason, no itinerary is the same.

Day 9-10 The Drake Passage
The Expedition Team enriches the voyage with formal presentations that are chosen specifically in response to the sightings and activities that you experienced. If you have sighted orcas, then you can expect a presentation on their life cycle.. If you were one of the lucky few to see a Southern Right Whale during your expedition then you will learn about that species. That is one reason that every Classic Antarctic expedition is unique.

Day 11 Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
Exchange photographs and e-mail addresses with your new found friends, before being transferred to the airport for your flight home.
