Days 3-4 Chilean fjords & Tierra del Fuego B L D
The next three days we will sail through amazing areas such as the Magellan Strait and the Beagle Channel, with channels, fjords, and mountains plunging straight into the icy water. These wild and remote areas seem almost completely undisturbed by humans. Ice has scoured its way between the mountains, leaving isolated islands and hidden bays – and creating the uniquely beautiful fjord landscape of Chile.

While crossing the storied Drake Passage you will have the opportunity to learn about the incredible continent you will be stepping onto from on-board naturalists.
Days 7-11 Antarctica B L D
Come ashore to explore the impressive Antarctic scenery. See penguins and seals. From deck there are lots of chances to see whales as well. Join our Expedition Team to enjoy field days, kayak, or explore the water and ice in small boats. Enjoy close encounters with wildlife and glaciers, and discover old whaling stations and its relics. We see the South Shetlands and Cuverville Island, home to one of the largest known colonies of chinstrap penguins. Neko Harbour is beautifully located in the innermost part of Andvord Bay. We see Paradise Harbour, which got its descriptive name from the whalers during the last century, and Wilhelmina Bay, which has spectacular scenery and is often called ‘whale-mina Bay’, because of the large number of humpback whales spotted here in December.
