Arrive and explore in Ushuaia

After a friendly welcome at the airport and a transfer to the luxurious Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa, take some time to unwind or explore the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia. (In the unlikely event that you can't be accommodated at the Arakur, you'll unwind at another of Ushuaia's top luxury hotels.)

Our optional evening briefing is your opportunity to ask questions and meet some of your fellow explorers.

All Aboard!

Spend your morning relaxing at the hotel, visiting a museum, or exploring the shops in Ushuaia, before our mid-afternoon escort to the ship. Our Expedition Team and ship staff will welcome you on board and get you settled in, followed by a safety and orientation briefing and our Captain’s welcome dinner. We’re on our way to Antarctica!

Drake Passage

Join our Polar Experts as they share their vast knowledge of Antarctica, from its enchanting wildlife to its bold history. Participate in our pioneering Citizen Science program or sit back and take in this fabled journey while catching glimpses of rarely seen wildlife. Keep your binoculars handy to identify the many seabirds that escort our ship as we cross the Antarctic Convergence into Antarctica’s waters and noticeably cooler temperatures.

Drake Passage

We leave this magical place and make our way north, once again crossing the legendary Drake Passage. We have one last hurrah as we celebrate the conclusion of our expedition with a special slideshow and a final meal together.

Two Purpose-Built Ships. One Purpose.

Our two ships, MS Seaventure and Ocean Albatros, might appear to be quite different. And there are, indeed, obvious physical differences. But more importantly for us (and we hope for you) are the things they have in common, starting with a strong emphasis on delivering a deeper, more unforgettable Antarctic engagement. Both ships boast the highest ice rating for any passenger ship, delivering a smoother, more comfortable voyage, even through the notorious Drake Passage, while enabling greater access to Antarctica’s more elusive corners – and secrets. Both ships provide a range of onboard pampering experiences; but perhaps more importantly, they are both designed to facilitate a remarkably seamless transition from onboard casual luxury, to off-ship exploration and discovery. And finally, both place the highest premium on sustainable practices and leaving a minimal carbon footprint in their wake.
