About the Ushuaia, Argentina to Cape Town, South Africa Itinerary
This is the ultimate Cape to Cape voyage. The voyage starts in the Argentinian city Ushuaia, and we will sail through the Beagle Channel to open sea. During this ocean voyage to Cape Town we will visit the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia and Tristan da Cunha, the most remote island in the world. We will set course across the Atlantic Ocean and sail every day. The Southern Ocean is known for its tumultous character, where names as "Roaring Fourties", "Furious Fifties" and "Screaming Sixties" refer to the challanges in the souther latitudes. Between the different stops there will be sailing for around 10 days, in which there is time to experience the sailing life, including watch keeping, navigating and sail handling.
Welcome Aboard the SH Diana
Designed for premium discovery experiences, SH DIANA can accommodate 192 guests in 96 staterooms and suites, the vast majority with large balconies.
The PC 6 ice-class vessel is fitted with extra-large stabilisers for exceptional passenger comfort, offers spacious 5-star accommodation, and the 125 m-long ship has been specially made to explore the most inspiring and inaccessible places on the planet. SH Diana shares unique design features with her sister ships – SH Minerva and SH Vega – and has a state-of-the-art gym, spa, panoramic sauna, club room, and swimming pool with poolside grill.
This ship also has key differences, including a dedicated presentation, lecture theatre, and onboard Tender boats to take guests ashore in greater comfort than the customary expedition Zodiacs.
Environmental impact
SH Diana is entirely self-sufficient for up to 40 days or 8,000 nautical miles. She is equipped with exhaust gas cleaning, advanced wastewater treatment systems, and special waste storage facilities required for operating in sensitive polar areas. The purpose-designed expedition cruise ship also complies with the latest environmental regulations. Preparations have also been made to implement zero-emission battery technology, allowing SH Diana to operate silently in ports, marine reserves, and other sensitive natural areas as it sails worldwide.
