About the Antarctica In Depth itinerary

This 13 day expedition introduces you to the breathtaking beauty of the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula, while giving you two additional days to explore even deeper.

The In-Depth itinerary is designed for a more immersive experience, allowing access to less-visited sites across the Peninsula. This extended time in Antarctica increases your chances of unique encounters, from leopard seals resting on drifting ice floes to vast penguin rookeries set against a backdrop of towering glaciers.

Throughout the journey, expert expedition guides and guest lecturers enrich each landing with their knowledge and storytelling, bringing the region’s wildlife, history, and landscapes vividly to life, turning your voyage into a truly unforgettable adventure.

Your gateway for this expedition is Ushuaia, Argentina. Nestled within the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, Ushuaia offers you a small-town feel but has many shops, museums, cafes and restaurants to enjoy before your voyage. The nearby national park and Martial Glacier are must-sees and offer plenty of hiking and outdoor activities.

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

The adventure begins with a 400 mile crossing of the passage that bears the name of the 16th century English explorer Sir Francis Drake. The ship is at home in this part of the Southern Ocean. Take in daily lectures from your expedition team and keep an eye out for the first sightings of icebergs, whales, and albatross following in the ship’s wake.

Experience some of the most unique wildlife viewing and inspiring scenery in the world as you set foot on the Antarctic continent.

Attempt two shore landings per day (weather conditions permitting), and encounter gentoo, chinstrap and Adélie penguin rookeries, Weddell, crabeater and leopard seals, and orca, humpback and minke whales in the cold Antarctic waters. The peninsula also has a remarkable human history. During the voyage you will learn about some of the most important and dramatic expeditions to this remote corner of the world.

Today begins the journey north to our 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 final whale sightings.

Disembark in the morning.
