ITINERARY
Day
1: Ushuaia, Argentina
Although
its nickname the “End of the World” –
derived from its location along the southernmost tip of South America
among the Tierra del Fuego archipelago – Ushuaia is far from
the end of any adventure. Where the Andes meet the Beagle Channel and
the snow-capped Martial Mountains sit behind a sprawling city of
colorful buildings, lies a lively town ready and waiting to take you on
the thrill ride of a lifetime. Scenes like Parque Yatana give you the
chance to immerse yourself in the rich, indigenous culture.
Days
2-3: Drake Passage Navigation
Navigating
the intrepid Drake Passage is made for the boldest of explorers.
Petrels and albatrosses that glide across the skies guide the way. To
witness its awesome power makes the journey to Antarctica all the more
triumphant.
The
Drake Passage leads you from the southernmost region of the Americas to
the Antarctic Peninsula, the northern point of The White Continent.
This waterway where cold southern ocean meets warm northern sea water
creates powerful currents that test your mettle.
But
the rewards for the journeyer that braves these waters do not compare.
The meeting of warm and cold waters creates an environment that
attracts extraordinary wildlife. Drake Passage offers the chance to
witness the likes of humpback whales and hourglass dolphins that
accompany the voyage. The soundtrack of the 48-hour journey through the
Drake Passage includes the crash of the ocean against the ship and the
cry of petrels, skuas, and gulls.
While
the waterway is famous for its challenging navigation, you may still
get another side of the Drake Passage. On some occasions, the channel
is calm and tranquil, making for a pleasant voyage into Antarctica.
That’s one of the more splendid characteristics of the Drake
Passage – you never know what you will get.
As
you emerge from the Drake Passage, the mammoth, icy peaks of the South
Shetland Islands loom ahead, greeting you on your victorious landing.
You have completed the rite of passage to explore the seventh continent.
Days
4-6: Captain's Choice
Captain's
Choice ports of call add to the sense of adventure and an element of
surprise. Your ship's master will sail around changing weather
conditions as needed and take you to the best areas for wildlife
viewing.
Day 7: Crossing Antarctic
Circle
As you make the voyage across the Antarctic Circle at the 66th
parallel, you become a “Red Nose,” one of the
select few who navigate deep into the frontier of The White Continent
to make the crossing. It is a feeling of triumph that cannot be beat.
Day
8: Captain's Choice
Days 9-10:
Drake Passage Navigation
Day
11: Cape Horn, Chile (Nov
18, 2022 & Feb 15, 2023 voyages alone visit Cape Horn)
Located
on the tiny Hornos Island, Cape Horn is the southernmost headland of
Tierra del Fuego and where the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans meet. To
this day, sailing around it is still considered one of the great
yachting challenges. If the opportunity for a RIB cruise presents
itself, you may find yourself climbing the cliffside across a rocky
beach. Weather permitting, you may go ashore and stop at the Chilean
naval station, where you can dive into the cape’s maritime
history. Find your way to the lighthouse, Stella Maris Chapel and Cape
Horn Memorial, where you can sign the guest book and have your passport
stamped.
Day 12: Ushuaia, Argentina
World Navigator (Luxury Expedition, 198-guests)
The 98-suite World Navigator features deluxe accommodations, contemporary and airy design, as well as thoughtfully selected amenities, entertainment, restaurants and bars. Every deck is designed to bring the outdoors inside, so that you are almost never without a transcendent view.
