Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Puerto Williams
Depart 21:00
Puerto Williams is the world's southernmost city, set beneath the jagged Dientes de Navarino on Chile's Isla Navarino, where the last Yaghan speaker preserved one of humanity's oldest linguistic traditions until 2022. Visit November through March via Seabourn or Silversea for the world's most southerly trekking circuit, Beagle Channel wildlife, and the threshold experience of standing at civilization's furthest southern reach before Antarctica begins.
Day 2
Day 2
Drake Passage
Sailing the legendary Drake Passage is an experience that few are ever lucky enough to experience. The southern tip of the Americas already feels like a wild enough environment – but the sensation of watching the distant cliffs of the peninsular known as the ‘End of the World’ fade into the horizon, is one that’s equal parts epic, eerie and magical. Set sail, to slowly drop off the bottom of the map from Cape Horn, and voyage on an expedition down into the icy underworld of Antarctica. Drake Passage is an extraordinary voyage of romantic ocean faring legend, as you aim for Antarctica’s icy realm. On arrival, skyscraper sized icebergs salute you, as you traverse the waters of this continent where snow and ice dwelling creatures like penguins and whales roam undisturbed. Your first sight of this most-unexplored place will most likely be the South Shetland Islands. Walk in the footsteps of some of history’s greatest and bravest explorers as you explore famed, snow-covered landmasses like Elephant and Deception Island. If the journey across Drake Passage sounds daunting, don’t worry – even in rough seas you’re never alone, and will often be accompanied on this spine-tingling adventure by soaring albatrosses and maybe even a protective pod of humpbacks and hourglass dolphins or two. Converging warm and cool ocean currents attract some spectacular animal life to the passage. If this is your first visit to this magical continent, you’ll also want to familiarise yourself with our blog for first timers to Antarctica.
Day 3
Day 3
Antarctic Sound
Antarctic Sound, a narrow ice-flanked strait at the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, earned its name from the ill-fated Swedish expedition vessel that sank here in 1903 and is renowned among polar travellers as "Iceberg Alley" for its procession of colossal tabular icebergs. A Zodiac cruise among the bergs and penguin colonies ranks among the most singular experiences in expedition travel, best undertaken between December and February when extended daylight illuminates the ice in extraordinary colour. Silversea, HX Expeditions, and Azamara all navigate this remote passage during the austral summer season.

Day 4
Antarctic Peninsula
Arrive 08:00
The Antarctic Peninsula, that dramatic arc of rock and ice reaching toward South America, remains one of Earth's last true wildernesses — governed by international treaty and unchanged since the heroic age of Shackleton and Amundsen. Towering glaciers calve icebergs the size of cathedrals into mirror-calm fjords; colonies of hundreds of thousands of penguins line volcanic black-sand beaches; humpback whales breach at improbable distances from Zodiac boats. November through March is the expedition season, with peak wildlife encounters from December to February. A voyage here is not merely travel — it is a transformation, a reckoning with scale and silence that stays with you for life.

Day 9
Day 9
South Shetland Islands
The South Shetland Islands, a stunning archipelago near the Antarctic Peninsula, are known for their rich history and pristine wilderness. Must-do experiences include visiting the research stations on King George Island and exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Swift Bay and Crystal Sound. The best season to visit is during the Antarctic summer, from November to March, when daylight extends and wildlife is abundant.
Day 10
Day 10
King George Island
Arrive 05:30
King George Island, the largest of the South Shetland Islands, serves as Antarctica's most accessible gateway, home to thirteen international research stations and one of the continent's few civilian settlements. Visitors should not miss a Zodiac landing among the vast chinstrap penguin colonies near Arctowski Station and sending a postcard from the Villa Las Estrellas post office — Antarctica's most coveted postmark. The austral summer season from late November through early March offers near-continuous daylight, milder temperatures, and peak wildlife activity across the peninsula.
