ANTARCTICA - CROSSING THE CIRCLE ITINERARY:
Day 1 - Arrive in Ushuaia, Argentina.
Day 2 - Board the ship and begin the journey to
Antarctica with a scenic sail through the Beagle Channel, then
enter the waters of the Drake Passage.
Days 3-4 - Continue to motor across the 620 miles of the
Drake Passage, passing over the Antarctic Convergence. Along the
way you'll enjoy numerous lectures, movies, and slide show
presentations on what you're about to experience.
Days 5-12 - Depending on weather and ice conditions, we
head straight to the Antarctic Circle (66° 33'), with a chance
to disembark in Zodiacs to explore this otherworldly scenery
firsthand (you may even encounter whales!). Then we'll work our
way back up the Antarctic Peninsula, cruising among the islands
and into the bays and channels, with Zodiac shore landings as
part of the experience whenever possible. Peninsula visits
usually include places like the wildlife colonies at Paradise
Harbor, Deception Island, and (ice conditions permitting) the
fantastically scenic Lemaire Channel, a glacier-lined fjord
between sheer mountains.
Days 13-14 - Homeward-bound on the Drake Passage. Near
the end of our journey, we'll sail around Cape Horn on our way
to Ushuaia (weather permitting).
Day 15 - Arrive in Ushuaia in the early morning and
depart.
