Whales of the Weddell Sea

Argentina‘s capital, Buenos Aires, is the starting point of your life-changing cruise to Antarctica.

It’s a city oozing with plenty of style and charm. Enjoy its many excellent restaurants, bars and cafés, and immerse yourself in its captivating blend of architectural styles, from the grand classical façades and elegant boulevards to the colourful Italian influences of La Boca and the graceful curves of Art Nouveau — you’ll notice a cityscape so distinctive from the others across Latin America.

Next, you’ll head south to Ushuaia. Perched at Argentina’s southernmost edge, the city serves as the gateway to your Antarctic adventure, where your cruise sets sail from the legendary Beagle Channel.

Leaving Ushuaia’s harbour behind, you can explore Tierra del Fuego’s dramatic natural beauty, home to majestic mountains rising above untouched forests, turquoise lakes and rocky coastlines claimed by sea lions and penguins.

Aboard your luxury Antarctica cruise, you’ll experience the wonders of the Weddell Sea, an ice-laden realm where extraordinary wildlife thrives amidst frozen waters. These teem with abundant krill, attracting various whale species, including pods of orca alongside large baleen, southern minke and humpback whales.

Your state-of-the-art expedition vessel will take you deep into this remote frontier. You’ll cruise along colossal ice cliffs and navigate between wind-sculpted icebergs. Together with a fleet of Zodiacs and experienced guides, you’re guaranteed a truly remarkable journey.

Your journey to Antarctica culminates back in Buenos Aires, where your final evening ignites with the tantalising spectacle of a live tango performance in an exclusive venue.
