Ushuaia is the gateway to the White Continent. Located at the southernmost tip of South America in Argentine Patagonia, the city is often called „the end of the world.“ An imposing mountain landscape towers over the harbor, and before the actual journey to Antarctica begins, the city, with its charming museums, cozy pubs, exquisite restaurants, and inviting cafes, offers a wonderful opportunity to linger.

The next few days of your Antarctic cruise will be spent at sea, crossing the infamous Drake Passage. But don’t worry – sea days always offer something different. Take the opportunity to sit back and enjoy the world around you while taking in breathtaking views of the endless ocean from the ship’s observation decks. A day at sea provides a chance to meet other passengers and share your experiences on this unforgettable journey. Alternatively, you can visit our well-stocked library, where you’ll find numerous reference books. Attend one of our lectures to gain expert knowledge or hone your photography skills with valuable advice from our professional photographers on board.

Nestled between impressive glaciers, majestic icebergs, and snow-covered islands, the Antarctic Peninsula is a dream destination for most visitors to the White Continent. Considered the most accessible part of Antarctica, this region is home to several scientific stations and some of the most fascinating natural landscapes. Shore excursions include a visit to Petermann Island, where you can see not only Adélie penguins, blue-eyed cormorants, and skuas, but also enormous elephant seals.

With many unforgettable moments in tow, our Antarctic journey in Ushuaia is drawing to a close. We wish you a safe journey home.
