Starting and ending in Ushuaia, the trip "Antarctic Explorer" is a guided polar expeditions and cruise trip that takes 11 days. You will be traveling through South Shetland Islands, Drake Passage and Ushuaia in Argentina and Antarctica. "Antarctic Explorer" is a group trip which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others. Please see the package includes section for further details.

It is a heady and inspiring cocktail of towering blue icebergs which refract searing blues and greens, whether against piercing clear skies or slate grey ones. It is home to an extraordinary array of wildlife: penguins of almost all descriptions, Leopard and smaller seals and whales, seen from the shore, the Zodiacs and from on board. This is a journey that appeals to many: photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, ornithologists or those who simply want to marvel at the peaks of Deception Island or the striking colours of Iceberg Alley in the most immaculate wilderness anywhere.
