Welcome to the beautiful city of Buenos Aires where your epic adventure begins. Once you land you will be met by a local friend who will help you get to your hotel. You have the rest of the day to wander around and soak up the local vibes at your own pace. Maybe grab a coffee or just watch the world go by in one of the grand squares. The city is famous for its style and history so there is plenty to see. Just remember that check in is usually at three in the afternoon. Get some rest tonight because the journey ahead is truly wild.

Start your morning with a great breakfast before heading out on a half day tour of this stunning capital. You will see the famous obelisk and historic squares like Plaza de Mayo where so much history has happened. You will also visit neighborhoods like colorful La Boca and the very elegant Recoleta. Later you have some free time to shop or explore more hidden gems on your own. In the evening you will have a nice dinner before moving to the special cruise hotel. It is a big day of culture and city life before we head toward the icy south tomorrow morning.

You will head to the airport early this morning for your flight to Ushuaia which is often called the end of the world. This resort town is tucked between snowy mountains and the cold sea which makes for a very dramatic setting. You have some time to walk through the colorful streets and take photos of the mismatched buildings before boarding your boutique ship. This is the moment you have been waiting for as you settle into your cabin and prepare to sail. The journey through the Beagle Channel is just the start of one of the most incredible trips on Earth.

Life on the ocean is a great chance to slow down and enjoy the views from the observation decks. You can hang out with other travelers and talk about the sights you hope to see or visit the library to learn more about polar history. There are experts on board who give cool talks and professional photographers who can help you get the best shots of the water. If you want a quiet moment you can just sit back and watch the waves go by. These days are all about relaxing and getting ready for the first glimpse of ice on the horizon very soon.

You have finally made it to the Antarctic Peninsula which is the heart of the White Continent and a dream for many. You will spend these days surrounded by massive glaciers and stunning icebergs that look like works of art. You might go on shore excursions to spots like Petermann Island where you can see Adelie penguins and huge elephant seals resting. Every day is different and depends on the weather but the scenery is always breathtaking. It is a rare chance to see a part of the world that very few people ever get to visit in their whole lives.

It is time to start the journey back across the sea which gives you another chance to enjoy all the luxury on the ship. You can visit the spa for a treatment or head to the gym if you want to stay active. It is also a perfect time to look through your photos or just spot whales from the deck with a warm drink in your hand. These days are a nice way to balance out the busy time you spent exploring on land. You can share your favorite stories with your new friends and just enjoy the peaceful feeling of being out on the open ocean.

After a final breakfast on the ship you will say goodbye to the crew in Ushuaia and fly back to Buenos Aires. The excitement is not over yet though because tonight you are going to a world famous Tango show. You will get to watch the dancers perform this passionate art while you enjoy a delicious international dinner. It is a perfect way to celebrate the end of your expedition and soak in some more Argentine culture. The music and the atmosphere are truly special and will give you one last great memory of your time in South America before you leave.

Your amazing trip comes to an end today as you head to the airport for your flight home. It has been an incredible thirteen days from the streets of the capital to the snowy islands of the Antarctic. We hope you have had the time of your life and that you take home many stories to tell your family and friends. Take a moment to think back on the penguins and the glaciers as you prepare to travel. We would love to hear all about your experience whenever you are ready to share. Safe travels and we hope to see you again for another adventure.
