Antarctic Peninsula: The Classic Voyage

Travelers will discover the Antarctic Peninsula through a unique expedition which takes them to the southernmost continent of Antarctica. The journey starts at Ushuaia before the ship crosses the Drake Passage to reach the frozen territories which include the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula.

The itinerary includes an extra day for exploration which allows visitors to explore more of Antarctica's animal species together with its stunning natural beauty. The area presents an amazing landscape because of its massive glaciers and floating icebergs and its active penguin populations.

Travelers explore local museums and waterfront viewpoints before they start their journey to the south.
