Journey from the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires to Ushuaia, where you’ll board your expedition vessel. Set sail from the southern tip of South America, cross the legendary Drake Passage as the ship heads towards the remote, icy waters of the Antarctica.

Explore the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula, where towering glaciers, sculpted icebergs, and snow-covered peaks define the landscape. Step ashore to visit penguin colonies, historic sites, and embark on frequent Zodiac cruises through the iceberg-strewn bays rich with wildlife. Along the way, expert guides and naturalists share insights into the region’s wildlife, history, and ecosystems.

CROSS the legendary Drake Passage with your Gondwana group and expert Trip Leaders on a small expedition ship, keeping watch for albatross, petrels, and whales.

IMMERSE yourself in surreal marine landscapes during frequent Zodiac excursions, weaving among sculpted icebergs, towering glaciers, and dramatic coastlines, with each turn offering breathtaking views.

ENCOUNTER extraordinary wildlife: Gentoo, Chinstrap, and Adélie penguins; Humpback and Minke whales; Leopard, Weddell, and Fur seals, and much more.

EMBARK on an optional sea kayaking excursion on the continent, gliding among icebergs and exploring Antarctica quietly from the water, surrounded by polar scenery.

EXPLORE one of the least-visited regions on Earth, sailing through waters first charted by early explorers and now studied by scientists, passing historic huts of past adventurers and remote research outposts.

ENJOY included excursions in Buenos Aires and Ushuaia with a Gondwana guide, local cuisine, and curated activities—a comprehensive experience few other cruises provide.
