YOUR TRIP

Embark on the Weddell Sea Discovery, a luxury cruise that begins and ends in the enchanting city of Ushuaia. Known as the gateway to Antarctica, Ushuaia offers a dramatic backdrop with its colorful streets nestled in the foothills of the Martial Range. This round trip invites you to sail through the world's most captivating wilderness, an adventure of a lifetime. Throughout the journey, you'll explore the depths of the Weddell Sea, witness the giant tabular icebergs, and immerse yourself in polar history. Relive the tale of Sir Ernest Shackleton as you cruise near where his ship once became ensnared in ice. You'll spend days around the Antarctic Peninsula, with possible visits to Mikkelsen Harbour among glaciers and majestic icebergs, encountering polar wildlife like chinstrap penguins. Activities onboard are as exciting as the sights themselves. During sea days, engage in enriching lectures, hone your photography skills, or simply relax on observation decks. The cruise offers optional kayaking expeditions, allowing you to paddle across serene Antarctic waters for an even closer look at its incredible beauty.

Trip Highlights

Dare to brave the notoriously rough two-day Drake Passage sea crossing

Compare monumental icebergs in the Gerlache Strait and Antarctic Sound as you head to the Weddell Sea

Get up close to hundreds of penguins as they gather in their thousands in their natural habitat

Itinerary

Ushuaia is the gateway to the White Continent. Nestled in the foothills of the snow-capped Martial Range in Argentina's Patagonia region, Ushuaia’s colourful streets and mismatched buildings cascade from the imposing mountains before coming to an abrupt halt at the shores of the Beagle Channel. Often described as 'the End of the World', the city carries the reputation well - the moody weather and dramatic surroundings certainly help.

Spend your day at sea enjoying the facilities available onboard. Head to the sauna, get in a workout in the state-of-the-art gym or relax in the hot tub while taking in incredible views along the way. If you prefer to learn a little more about your surroundings, listen to an informative talk or have a chat with one of our knowledgeable experts.

Among captivating glaciers, majestic icebergs and snowy islands, the Antarctic Peninsula is where most visitors to the White Continent live their Antarctica dream. It's the most accessible part, with scientific bases and incredible scenery, like the photogenic Lemaire Channel. Shore excursions might include Mikkelsen Harbour, where among gentoo penguins, snowy sheathbills and skuas, Antarctic Weddell seals haul out.
