Fly and sail the legendary Drake Passage into the heart of Antarctica, where the polar wilderness unfolds in all its striking beauty and vitality.
This unique expedition begins or ends in Puerto Natales, Chile—gateway to Torres del Paine—or Ushuaia, Argentina, the world’s southernmost city on the edge of Tierra del Fuego. Both offer the perfect prelude or finale. You’ll cross the legendary Drake Passage once by ship and once by flight—combining flexibility with the full polar experience.
In Antarctica, life abounds. Penguin colonies bustle with activity, seals rest along the icy shores, and whales—humpbacks, minkes, orcas, and seis—glide gracefully through the nutrient-rich waters.
The polar light radiates across sculpted ice and snow-capped peaks, casting a glow that transforms the landscape into something otherworldly.
This is Antarctica: powerful, pristine, and utterly unforgettable.
Day 1 Arrive in Puerto Natales, Chile
Days 2 - 6 Exploring Antarctica's raw and untouched beauty
Days 7 - 8 At Sea – Drake Passage
Day 9 Disembarkation in Ushuaia
