Antarctic Wonders: roundtrip cruise from Ushuaia

The Antarctic Peninsula Discovery luxury cruise is a breathtaking round trip that begins and ends in Ushuaia, Argentina.

Known as the "end of the world," Ushuaia's vibrant streets and stunning landscapes set the stage for an unforgettable journey. From Ushuaia, you sail across the Drake Passage to explore the magical Antarctic Peninsula, returning to the warmth and familiarity of Ushuaia by the end of the adventure.

Along this awe-inspiring voyage, encounter the mesmerizing landscapes of the Antarctic Peninsula. Highlights include the icy wonders of the Gerlache Strait and the magnificent Antarctic Sound. Visitors may also have the chance to step ashore Mikkelsen Harbour, where visitors might see gentoo penguins, snowy sheathbills, skuas, and Antarctic Weddell seals. The journey offers unparalleled access to this rarely visited pristine wilderness teeming with incredible natural beauty. Participants in the Antarctic Peninsula Discovery can enjoy various enriching activities throughout the cruise. While at sea, take advantage of lectures from polar specialists or enhance your photography skills with guidance from expert photographers.

Zodiac boat expeditions provide an exhilarating way to search for seals, whales, and seabirds amidst ice-choked waters. Optional kayaking excursions allow for an intimate experience with the enchanting Antarctic surroundings.
