Expedition to Antarctica: Weddell Sea cruise

Embark on the Weddell Sea Discovery, a luxury cruise that begins and ends in the enchanting city of Ushuaia. Known as the gateway to Antarctica, Ushuaia offers a dramatic backdrop with its colorful streets nestled in the foothills of the Martial Range. This round trip invites you to sail through the world's most captivating wilderness, an adventure of a lifetime.

Throughout the journey, you'll explore the depths of the Weddell Sea, witness the giant tabular icebergs, and immerse yourself in polar history. Relive the tale of Sir Ernest Shackleton as you cruise near where his ship once became ensnared in ice. You'll spend days around the Antarctic Peninsula, with possible visits to Mikkelsen Harbour among glaciers and majestic icebergs, encountering polar wildlife like chinstrap penguins.

Activities onboard are as exciting as the sights themselves. During sea days, engage in enriching lectures, hone your photography skills, or simply relax on observation decks. The cruise offers optional kayaking expeditions, allowing you to paddle across serene Antarctic waters for an even closer look at its incredible beauty.
