Cruise, Outdoor & Adventure, Nature & Wildlife, Winter Wonderland
Join the world’s most illustrious explorers as you sojourn into the untouched Seventh Continent. Crossing the legendary Drake Passage is an experience that few are ever lucky enough to encounter. Sail between the South Shetland Islands and the western coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Enjoy seeing ice-filled fjords and spectacular icebergs, while spotting penguins, seals, and whales that call the White Continent home.
In this program, we have handpicked the best expedition ships for discerning travellers looking for the right blend of unique excursions, insightful lectures hosted by expert naturalists, and modern comfort.
[For Quark Expeditions – World Explorer]
Fly to Ushuaia, known as the southernmost city in the world, with one night pre-cruise stay.
[For Quark Expeditions Ultramarine]
Fly to Buenos Aires, defined by Latin passion and European romance, this dynamic city is known for its wide-ranging architectural styles, contemporary and historical arts, and culinary experiences.
[For Quark Expeditions Ultramarine]
Fly from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia for embarkation.
We will transfer you to the port for sail through the Beagle Channel. Afterwards cross the legendary Drake Passage, notorious for its turbulent seas which pushes nutrient to the surface and often attracting seabirds and whales. Spend time on deck looking for wildlife or attend our expert-hosted presentations on history, wildlife and glaciology to prepare you as we gradually approach the Ice Continent.
Journey down to one of the planet’s most remote, extreme and enchanting wilderness, Antarctica. You will ultimately land on the frozen shores of the nearly inaccessible White Continent.
Cruise along the Antarctic Peninsula, the untamed landscape of snow-blanketed fjords, cathedral-sized icebergs and calving glaciers.
Lying close to the north-western tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, separated by the Bransfield Strait, the South Shetland Islands, is home to plump elephant seals, crowds of Gentoo, Chinstrap and Adelie Penguins with research bases of several countries.
Depending on the weather condition, every day is different and will bring new discoveries into your adventure. Partake in zodiac excursions across remote bays in the company of curious penguins, whales, orcas, seals or seabirds one day, then hike through the vast wilderness of spongy tundra, crusty snow or sandy beach on another day.
[For Quark Expeditions – World Explorer]
For those short in time, World Explorer offers an express journey with one less day in Antarctica.
The return journey across Drake Passage offers final opportunities to come across seabirds and wildlife you may have previously missed. You may want to join in additional presentations by our experts or exchange stories of a lifetime with fellow travellers over a glass of champagne.
You will arrive in Ushuaia or Puerto Williams to continue your adventure or catch your flight to Buenos Aires or Santiago.
