Journey from Ushuaia, Argentina, to Antarctica on a small-ship cruise that blends exploration with comfort. Cross the Drake Passage, set foot on the Antarctic Peninsula, and discover wildlife that thrives at the edge of the world.
Departing from Ushuaia, the southernmost city on Earth, is the most direct way to cruise to Antarctica. The two-day journey across the Drake Passage is an adventure in itself and a rite of passage for travellers.
As you approach, the ocean turns to ice-studded sea. The first sight of white peaks signals your arrival. Each day offers something new: penguins on the shore, seals basking on ice, and whales surfacing nearby. Glaciers crash into the sea with a thunderous sound.
We prefer ships that are true expedition vessels, blending modern comfort with adventure. Expect spacious suites, fine dining, and open decks to connect with nature. Guides and photographers share stories about the landscape and wildlife, enriching every landing.
Evenings are serene. Enjoy a quiet drink, watch the shifting light, and feel the vastness of this untouched world.
Travel rewards attention. Five for Fridays is our monthly letter from Ron: five things about the world worth knowing before you go – or before you decide where.
