Expedition cruise | Natural world | Wildlife

Experience the ultimate in expedition cruising on this Seabourn voyage to the White Continent. It all begins amid the Tango bars and barrios of Buenos Aires before you head south to Ushuaia, at the very tip of South America. Here, you’ll board your luxurious Seabourn expedition ship and set sail across the Drake Passage, enjoying the ample amenities onboard during your two days at sea. Upon landing on the Antarctic Peninsula, you’ll be treated to five full days of guided exploration as your expedition team plots a course between the ice, taking into account up-to-the-minute weather conditions to bring you the best chance to spot rare and unique wildlife. Utilise the ship’s fleet of Zodiac boats, sea kayaks and even submarines before heading back to South America for a post-cruise stay back in the Argentine capital, where you’ll enjoy such quintessential experiences as a tango show and delicious steak dinner.

Antarctica

As you might expect with the remoteness of a place like Antarctica, it’s a destination that requires flexibility and adjustments.

This will allow you to discover each stop at the best time and give you the best chance of unforgettable wildlife encounters.

Each day, you’ll head to the Landing Zone and board one of the ship’s 24 Zodiac boats to head out for awe-inspiring experiences. The ship also features eight double sea kayaks and two custom-built expedition submarines, so these may be utilised as well (at extra cost).
