For travellers planning an Antarctica adventure in 2027 or 2028, selected departures are currently available with savings of up to $2,037 USD per person on selected cabins.
This all-inclusive expedition journey begins and ends in Buenos Aires and includes flights between Buenos Aires and Ushuaia, an overnight hotel stay before your expedition, daily meals, selected beverages and immersive exploration with an experienced Expedition Team.
A 12-Day Journey to One of the World’s Last Great Wildernesses
Your Antarctica adventure begins in the vibrant Argentine capital of Buenos Aires, where the excitement of your expedition starts to build. From there, you’ll fly south to Ushuaia, one of the world’s southernmost cities and the gateway to the spectacular White Continent.
Once you arrive in Ushuaia, you’ll board the advanced hybrid-powered MS Roald Amundsen. From this point onwards, your expedition takes you across the legendary Drake Passage and towards the remote and awe-inspiring landscapes of Antarctica.
As you reach the Antarctic Peninsula, prepare to discover an ever-changing world over five unforgettable days, with opportunities to experience:
- Enormous glaciers and dramatic icebergs rising from the Southern Ocean
- Thriving penguin colonies, offering memorable wildlife encounters
- Seals resting along the shoreline and across the sea ice
- Opportunities to encounter whales in their natural environment
- Spectacular polar landscapes stretching as far as the eye can see
- Remote Antarctic landing sites, where you can step ashore and experience the wilderness up close
However, no two Antarctic expeditions are exactly alike. Because conditions in Antarctica can change rapidly, your daily experiences will be shaped by the weather, sea ice and wildlife activity. Consequently, the Expedition Team can adapt the itinerary as needed, making the most of wildlife sightings, landing opportunities and changing conditions.
Ultimately, this flexibility is part of what makes an Antarctica expedition so special — each day brings the possibility of a new discovery, unexpected wildlife encounter or breathtaking polar experience.
