Leaving from Ushuaia, sailing through the Beagle Channel, exploring Cape Horn and crossing the mythical waters of Drake Passage, you are invited to participate in a unique experience that will take you to one of the most remote places on earth.
Day 1 Ushuaia
The trip will begin in Ushuaia , Argentina , embarking in our vessel, the "Professor Multanovskiy" which will navigate down the Beagle Channel towards Puerto Williams, the southernmost town in the world, located in Navarino Island . Here, we will have the time to tour around before setting sail toward Cape Horn and the Drake Passage.
Day 2 Cape Horn
After crossing Nassau Bay, we will wake up in front of the legendary Cape Horn! Weather permitting, we will put our zodiacs in the water and visit its lighthouse and the Chilean station in charge of keeping it beaming. Back on board, we will set sail toward Antarctica and start the crossing of the famous waters named in honor of Sir Francis Drake.
Day 3 Drake Passage
Sailing through Drake Passage en route to King George Island. We invite you to relax and enjoy life on board and watch wildlife from the bridge or outside decks.
Day 4 Antarctic Ocean
Once we have crossed the Antarctic Convergence, we will be sailing through the Antarctic Ocean. The time has come to start spotting the first icebergs and Antarctic land. The South Shetland Islands come into view, and we will have the opportunity to put our zodiacs into the water and make our first landing to visit a penguin colony.
Day 5 Punta Arenas
Upon reaching King George Island, we will disembark at Fildes Bay, where we will have the opportunity to visit some interesting places in the area. We will then board the flight that will take us, in a little over one hour and a half, to Punta Arenas, Chile, where our program ends. It is recommended to schedule an extra night in Punta Arenas in case of any delays with the return flight.
