Antarctic Classic in Depth

Arrive in Ushuaia at any time, arrival transfer included. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the world's most southerly city.

Embarkation begins in the afternoon at the port in Ushuaia. Enjoy the evening sailing through the Beagle Channel.

Our adventure begins with the crossing of this famous stretch of water named after the 16th-century English explorer, Sir Francis Drake.  Take in daily lectures from your expedition team and keep an eye out for your first sightings of icebergs, whales and albatross following in the ship's wake.

We have lots of time to explore the worlds most southerly ecosystem and encounter the unique wildlife and awe-inspiring scenery of the Antarctic. Our goal is to get you ashore or on Zodiac cruises twice per day to encounter penguin rookeries, get a good look at the variety of seal species, and keep an eye out for the whales that feed in the peninsula's cold, fertile waters. During the voyage, you'll learn about some of the most important and dramatic expeditions to this remote corner of the world. Take an optional polar plunge, visit an abandoned whaling station or a working scientific research station and gain a new perspective on this part of world.

Begin your journey north to your home port of Ushuaia. Review the highlights of your Antarctic experience with our lecturers and staff. Keep your eyes open on the observation deck for some last-minute whale sightings.

Disembark in the morning.
