Sao Paulo, Antarctica Classic in Depth & Buenos Aires

After two fabulous nights in Sao Paulo, it’s time to head to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world! Known as the "Gateway to Antarctica," Ushuaia offers dramatic views of snow-capped mountains. Explore this charming town, its waterfront, and local shops before gearing up for the big journey ahead. Antarctica, here we come!

The day has finally arrived! Board your expedition ship and begin your 13-day journey to the frozen wonders of Antarctica. As you set sail, watch the rugged coastline of Ushuaia fade away, and get ready to cross the legendary Drake Passage. You’ll have lectures and briefings on what to expect in Antarctica, so relax, enjoy the onboard amenities, and start imagining the incredible adventures ahead!

Brace yourself for the famous Drake Passage crossing – a time to truly "get into the zone." While the waters can be a little choppy, it’s all part of the adventure! Attend informative talks from your expedition team, spot seabirds or whales, and enjoy the views from the deck. And don’t worry – you’re covered with comfy cabins, delicious meals, and the best company to help pass the time.

Welcome to the South Shetland Islands! As you approach these windswept shores, get ready to be amazed by the towering glaciers, icy waters, and adorable penguins that call this place home. Here, you’ll step foot on your first Antarctic landings. From penguin rookeries to dramatic ice formations, every moment feels like stepping into another world. Grab your camera – you’ll want to capture these surreal moments forever!

Prepare to be wowed as you cruise into the Antarctic Peninsula! This is where the magic happens – dramatic icebergs, towering mountains, and the most incredible wildlife you could imagine. Take Zodiac excursions to explore the peninsula’s frozen beauty up close. You’ll spot seals lounging on the ice, and with a little luck, maybe even a whale or two! It’s a true once-in-a-lifetime experience. And the team onboard will be there to share their expert knowledge, making every adventure feel even more magical.

With your Antarctic adventure winding down, it’s time to make your way back to normal life. Whether you're sipping hot cocoa or chatting with new friends, the Drake passage gives you one last chance to appreciate the wildness of the ocean.

You’ve made it back to Ushuaia, and now it’s time to say goodbye to the frozen wilderness and head to the warmth of Buenos Aires. After a short flight, you’ll land in Argentina’s pulsing capital. Spend the evening soaking in the city’s nightlife, enjoying some tango performances or sipping cocktails at a stylish rooftop bar. Your Antarctic adventure may be over, but the excitement of Buenos Aires is just beginning!

A city that never sleeps and is always full of life, Buenos Aires is worlds away from your exciting Antarctic adventure. Start your day with a leisurely breakfast at a local café—think rich coffee and delicious pastries. Then, the day is yours to explore. Head out for a city tour or explore iconic landmarks like Plaza de Mayo and the colourful streets of La Boca solo. In the evening, get ready for a fiery tango performance and indulge in some of the world’s best steaks. The rhythm of Buenos Aires will sweep you off your feet!

After an incredible adventure through the world's most remote and awe-inspiring landscapes, it’s time to bid farewell to your fellow travellers and head home. Whether you’ve got stories to tell or a newfound love for penguins, your memories of this trip will last forever.
