Day
1, Arrival
No
need to stress about missed connections or flight delays as you arrive
with plenty of time to unwind and enjoy all that the luxurious Arakur
Resort & Spa has to offer, or head out and discover the
southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia.
Day
2, Ushuaia
Explore
the sights of Ushuaia such as the museums and Argentinean leather
markets or relax in style and comfort at the hotel. Attend the optional
evening briefing for the opportunity to ask questions and meet some of
your fellow explorers.
Day
3, Embarkation
After
a final morning exploring Ushuaia or unwinding at the resort, our
mid-afternoon transfer will take you to the beautiful MS Seaventure.
Our Expedition Team and ship staff will greet you on board, followed by
a safety and orientation briefing and Captain’s welcome
dinner. You’re on your way to Antarctica!
Day
4-5, Drake Passage
Join
our Polar Experts in the lounge to immerse yourself in all things
Antarctic, from its fascinating wildlife to its adventurous history;
choose to participate in our renowned Citizen Science program; or sit
back and take in this fabled journey while catching your first glimpses
of wildlife. Grab your binoculars to identify the many seabirds that
follow the ship. As we cross the Antarctic Convergence into
Antarctic waters, you’ll start to notice the cooler
temperatures, your cue to get ready for that first iceberg sighting, an
unforgettable moment on every journey.
Day
6, South Shetland Islands
The
volcanic South Shetland Islands offer amazing abundance and beauty, so
we’ll hop into our inflatable Zodiac boats and spend as much
time as possible exploring. Be prepared to marvel up close at
nature’s glory!
Day
7-10, Antarctica
It’s
time to slow our ship down, the better to explore the dreamlike world
all around us and let the power of this amazing place sink in. This is
your opportunity to get more intimately acquainted with Antarctica by
Zodiac, kayak, snowshoe, or on a magical night of camping, as you look
up at the stars or listen to the ethereal call of a nearby whale. For
those engaged in our Citizen Science program, the work of understanding
this fragile environment continues. Be sure to keep your camera handy,
as penguins, seals and whale sightings are all part of this incredible
experience. And a passing iceberg, its magical blue light seeming to
glow from within, is something you’ll want to share with
friends back home.
Day
11-12, Drake Passage
Time
to leave this magical place inspired, exhausted, and most likely
changed forever. We make our way north, once again crossing the
legendary Drake Passage. We’ll have one last hurrah as we
celebrate the conclusion of our expedition with a special slideshow and
photography awards ceremony, then a final meal together.
Day
13, Ushuaia Disembarkation
With
huge smiles on weary, content faces, and perhaps some new friends for
life, we disembark in the morning, letting you catch a flight to Buenos
Aires or stay in Ushuaia for more sights and adventure.
Sea Venture (Luxury Expedition, 139-guests)
Sea Venture features a 1-A Super ice class rating - the highest ice class awarded to passenger vessels. This means that we will be able to explore coves, bays, and channels that would previously have been forbidden to us.
The ship also offers a host of new activities. There's a sauna, a fitness center, a custom-built citizen science lab, and heated saltwater pool. There is more storage space, which is important because it means we can carry more equipment, so that more of our guests can participate in activities like kayaking, snowshoeing, and camping.
The common areas are larger and beautifully appointed, and the ship has two kitchens, one on the Lido deck for al fresco dining when weather permits.
