Classic Antarctica expedition on the premium National Geographic Explorer!(Price dependant on cabin class and departure date)
Day 1: Ushuaia: Embark
Arrival in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. Have lunch during a catamaran cruise of the scenic Beagle Channel before embarking the National Geographic Explorer.
Day 2: At Sea
Awake this morning well into our journey across the Drake Passage. Lying between Cape Horn and the Antarctic Peninsula, the Drake holds a distinct place in maritime lore. Sometimes misty and gray, other times calm and clear, crossing the legendary Drake Passage is unforgettable.
Days 3-8: Antarctica
With nearly 24 hours of daylight at this time of year, we make the most of our six days exploring the Antarctic Peninsula and its surrounding islands. The schedule is flexible to give you the best experience possible. Our veteran expedition team and their expert knowledge of Antarctica’s waters enable us to take advantage of the unexpected. We are out daily — experiencing Antarctica with all our senses as we walk, cruise in Zodiacs, and venture out in kayaks. See seals wallowing on the beach; hear the cries of penguins, and the huge, nurturing silence of this pristine place.
We may sail through the incomparable Lemaire Channel, where a hush falls over onlookers as bergs of beauty and scale drift by. Identify penguins, paddle kayaks through berg fields, and land with Zodiacs on the “White Continent.”
Days 9-10: At Sea
There is time to watch at the bridge for marine life, to indulge in a massage, a workout in the gym, or catch up on some reading in the library.
Day 11: Ushuaia: Disembark
Disembark in Ushuaia with time to explore before proceeding to the airport for flight out.
