Departure/Arrival Port: Ushuaia, Argentina
Boarding the ship in Ushuaia, which the Argentinians call El fin del mundo (the end of the world), the first call is at the Falkland Islands, whose natural wild beauty is sure to captivate you.
The next stop is South Georgia, a sub-antarctic region formed by an underwater mountain chain and home to a diverse wildlife population of King penguins, fur seals and elephant seals.
Before crossing the Antarctic Circle, the highlight of your cruise, you will be dazzled by many stops on the Antarctic Peninsula, a realm of the unexpected.
Antarctica, an extreme environment where nature reigns supreme, is a magical landscape of wonder. The White Continent with its surreal atmosphere will show you its most beautiful secrets through your many explorations. Here, you will have the chance to see a population of Gentoo, Adelie and chinstrap penguins, humpback whales, seals and seabirds.
Each day, whether on land, aboard your ship or during a Zodiac outing, you will be surrounded by a grandiose decor ranging from icebergs to ice floe and ancient glaciers.
