11 Day Voyage from £2681

From the contrasting streets of Buenos Aires and Ushuaia, this captivating adventure aboard MS Fram journeys to abandoned whaling stations, isolated bays and vast penguin colonies, on an 8-day voyage of breathtaking scope.

Itinerary

Day 1 :

The journey begins in the Argentinean capital of Buenos Aires on the shores of the Rio de la Plata. Your stay gives an opportunity to explore the city that many have called the 'Paris of the South'. You might like to visit the city's grandiose European architecture, perhaps see the famous mausoleums of the Recoleta Cemetery, or take in a fabulous Tango Show.

 

Day 2 :

Fly to Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city, located at the very tip of the South American continent and embark MS Fram later this afternoon. Set sail towards Drake Passage, via the Beagle Channel and Cape Horn.

 

Days 3 - 4 :

Over the coming days you cross the infamous waters of the Drake Passage, where the two great oceans of the Atlantic and Pacific meet beneath brooding skies filled with countless curious seabirds. Head for the northernmost tip of the vast white continent of Antarctica, the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands. Your estimated arrival will be during the afternoon of day 4.

 

Days 4 - 8 :

In Antarctica. Your landing sites in Antarctica will vary from voyage to voyage, depending upon ice and weather conditions. We hope to sail to Deception Island, with its spectacular views of the volcano's caldera and Whaler's bay, where you have a good chance of spotting whales amongst the rich waters. We also hope to visit the narrow iceberg-lined Lemaire Channel, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful passages in Antarctica and, if conditions allow, the breathtaking Neumayer Channel. You will take in old abandoned whaling stations and idyllic bays where ice, rocks and penguins are all you can see for miles.
