Cruise Description

16 Night Cruise sailing from Ushuaia roundtrip onboard Roald Amundsen. Hotel stay pre-cruise in Buenos Aires.

Cruise Overview:

Begin and end in Buenos Aires
The Argentine capital is the birthplace of tango, home to passionate football fans, and a world centre for all things cultural and culinary. After spending one exciting night here at the start, you’ll head to Ushuaia to board your expedition ship and continue your journey south. When we cross the Drake Passage, the weather and sea ice here at the edge of the world can be unpredictable. That’s why we don’t have a fixed itinerary when we travel to Antarctica, but instead carefully monitor the current conditions and decide on the best sites for each day. It’s what we like to call the expedition factor.

Antarctica: a place of pure amazement
Get ready for 11 days in Antarctica, being in awe of immense icebergs and whales, spotting many species of seabirds and seeing colonies of penguins with their chicks. The season’s milder weather may have created a path through the sea ice south of the Antarctic Circle, all the way to Marguerite Bay to possibly visit the remote historical buildings there. Join the Expedition Team for lectures, ice-cruising and landings along the way.
