OVERVIEW

Embark on an incredible journey to some of the most striking shores and vistas on Earth on this 11-Day itinerary. Antarctica is a destination like no other, serene and untouched, where wildlife and the elements reign supreme. From landings on the South Shetland Islands to the unique coves and bays of the peninsula. Encounter whales, seals and penguin, engage with scientific projects on board your vessel and learn of the unique history of the region.

ITINERARY

Arrival in Ushuaia

After a friendly welcome at the airport and a transfer to the luxurious Arakur Resort & Spa, take some time to unwind or explore the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia. Our evening briefing at the Arakur is your opportunity to ask questions and meet some of your fellow explorers.

Embarkation

Spend your morning relaxing at the hotel, visiting a museum, or exploring the shops in Ushuaia, before our mid-afternoon escort to the ship. Our Expedition Team and ship staff will welcome you on board and help you get settled in, followed by a safety and orientation briefing and our Captain’s welcome dinner. We’re on our way to Antarctica!

Drake Passage - Day 3 & 4

Join our Polar Experts as they share their vast knowledge of Antarctica, from its enchanting wildlife to its bold history. Participate in our pioneering Citizen Science program, or sit back and take in this fabled journey while catching glimpses of rarely seen wildlife. Keep your binoculars handy to identify the many seabirds that escort our ship as we cross the Antarctic Convergence into Antarctica’s waters and noticeably cooler temperatures.

South Shetland Islands

Over time, the volcanic activity of the South Shetland Islands has created a unique geology. Here, you can expect a spectacular display of mountains, glaciers, and wildlife, including Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins. It's not uncommon to share the water’s edge with Elephant and Fur seals. Whales are often spotted as well. We’ll settle into our Zodiacs and spend most of the day exploring. Kayakers, it’s time to get your first taste of gliding just inches above the pristine Antarctic water. Whether on land or sea, in Zodiac or kayak, be prepared for a fully immersive introduction to this incomparable part of the world.

Antarctica - Day 6 to 8

Here’s our chance to explore numerous picturesque bays and harbors, maneuvering through iceberg-rich channels and wildlife-rich waters. We’ll likely be joined by numerous species of enchanting penguins, seals, and whales, both in the sea and along the rugged coastlines. There will be great opportunities to stop at several active scientific bases and historic landing sites during our typical two-a-day outings. A night of camping under the stars is also an unforgettable highlight for those who sign up. Our focus is always on the longest and most adventurous off-ship experiences, so be prepared to take in all that Antarctica has to offer.

Drake Passage - Day 9 & 10

We leave this magical place and make our way north, once again crossing the legendary Drake Passage. We have one last hurrah as we celebrate the conclusion of our expedition with a special slideshow and a final meal together.

Disembarkation in Ushuaia

With huge smiles on weary, content faces, we disembark in the morning, letting you catch a flight to Buenos Aires or stay in Ushuaia for more sights and adventure.

 MS Seaventure

MS Seaventure

With the highest ice class rating and modern German-Japanese design, the MS Seaventure offers a smooth and comfortable experience across the Drake.

  • Lower-level wraparound decks are ideally placed for wildlife viewing, easily accessible from throughout the ship  
  • No internal cabins, stylish interiors, and evening fine dining means you don’t need to sacrifice luxury to have an Antarctic expedition cruise

 

Image removed.  FEATURES OF THE MS SEAVENTURE 

 

Speed and comfort

Optimised entirely for Antarctic voyages, the heavy steel of the MS Seaventure cuts through the Drake Passage with ease. State-of-the-art marine retractable stabilisers reduce movement significantly inside the ship, rendering the voyage across the Drake not only more efficient but smoother than most other expedition ships.

Education and science focused

Citizen science is world-class on the MS Seaventure with six separate projects throughout the journey. Each guest on board can be involved and gain a deep understanding of the location whilst sending data back to significant scientific organisations to help with their critical research on Antarctica. Each journey also offers onboard scientific and educational lectures.

Friendly and inclusive travel environment

This is not an 'us and them' cruise; your expedition crew will dine with guests during meal times, sharing their personal insights into Antarctica and getting to know the people they are travelling with. Breaking down walls and building a more family feel as you travel to the most enigmatic place on earth - together.

7:1 traveller to expedition staff ratio

Thanks to a 7:1 traveller to expedition staff ratio, coordinating excursions is the number one priority and unless weather conditions prevent it, guests will spend up to six hours a day off the ship and immersed in Antarctica.

Spacious outdoor viewing

A full wraparound deck, close to the water, is a must have in Antarctica and a photographer's dream. The MS Seaventure's deck is on the lower decks, offering brilliant viewing of wildlife and Antarctica as it happens in 360 degrees. That way, you won't be stuck in only one space and when the captain announces ‘orcas’, you can be outside in a flash! 

Luxury amenities and inviting cabins

The rooms are designed to cater for all tastes and include many balcony rooms on the higher levels, away from ocean spray that can be encountered on the Drake Passage, offering higher comfort and security for deluxe travellers. You’ll also enjoy exceptional cuisine and lots of common areas for lectures and socialising.

 

OPTIONAL ACTIVITES

Enhance your immersive experience with an optional activity in Antarctica whilst travelling on the MS Seaventure. 

Kayaking & Camping are at an extra cost but, due to their popularity, are limited in space and can book out quickly.
