9-Night Round Trip Ushuaia

Join us on this amazing, "Bucket List" Expedition Cruise to Antarctica aboard Atlas Ocean Voyages World Traveller. There are only 95 cabins on the World Traveller and because this is an Arctic Expedition there will be a total of 150 passengers or less aboard this Luxury Yacht Class ship. Be sure to watch the videos at the bottom of this page!

From Atlas Ocean Voyages: "Aboard, you'll experience the best of both all-inclusive comforts and an epic expedition. With the guidance of historians, naturalists, photographers and other experts in their fields, as well as a world-class expedition team, you'll gain a deeper understanding and appreciation environments. Extraordinary wildlife abounds, leaving you with a greater sense of awe."

We recently returned from an Arctic Expedition and knew right away Antarctica needed to be on our bucket list. So, when we say "Join Us" we sincerely mean that. We're hosting and already booked on this incredible adventure and some of our clients have also done so already.

With only 95 cabins and because unlike other cruise lines, Atlas Ocean Voyages limits it's Antarctica sailings to just 150 passengers, these expeditions typically sell out well in advance making now the best time to reserve your spot and get the best pricing.

Plus, we have Exclusive Group rates that are less than the published fares along with additional amenities.

Please see the Cruise Information tab for details. We truly hope you join us on this once in a lifetime experience!

To reserve your spot a $1,000 per person deposit is due within 3 days of booking  - $250.00 of which in NON-Refundable
For Suites a 25% per person deposit is due within 3 days of booking - $250.00 of which in NON-Refundable

Good News - Final Payment is not Due until August 22, 2025, but you may make any payments as you'd like along the way.

Here are a few videos that are worth a look:

12/28/2025 - Ushuaia, Argentina

Although its nickname the "End of the World" - derived from its location along the southernmost tip of South America among the Tierra del Fuego archipelago - Ushuaia is far from the end of any adventure. Where the Andes meet the Beagle Channel and the snow-capped Martial Mountains sit behind a sprawling city of colorful buildings, lies a lively town ready and waiting to take you on the thrill ride of a lifetime. Scenes like Parque Yatana give you the chance to immerse yourself in the rich, indigenous culture.
 
12/29 and 12/30 - Drake Passage Navigation
Navigating the intrepid Drake Passage is made for the boldest of explorers. Petrels and albatrosses that glide across the skies guide the way. To witness its awesome power makes the journey to Antarctica all the more triumphant.

The Drake Passage leads you from the southernmost region of the Americas to the Antarctic Peninsula, the northern point of The White Continent. This waterway where cold Southern Ocean meets warm northern sea water creates powerful currents that test your mettle.

But the rewards for the journeyer that braves these waters do not compare. The meeting of warm and cold waters creates an environment that attracts extraordinary wildlife. Drake Passage offers the chance to witness the likes of humpback whales and hourglass dolphins that accompany the voyage. The soundtrack of the 48-hour journey through the Drake Passage includes the crash of the ocean against the ship and the cry of petrels, skuas, and gulls.

While the waterway is famous for its challenging navigation, you may still get another side of the Drake Passage. On some occasions, the channel is calm and tranquil, making for a pleasant voyage into Antarctica. That’s one of the more splendid characteristics of the Drake Passage - you never know what you will get.

As you emerge from the Drake Passage, the mammoth, icy peaks of the South Shetland Islands loom ahead, greeting you on your victorious landing. You have completed the rite of passage to explore the seventh continent.
 
12/31/2025 - Exploring the South Shetland Islands - Captain’s Choice, Antarctica
Part of the greater Antarctica region, the South Shetland Islands contain plenty of wildlife, scenic landscapes, hiking opportunities and magnificent viewpoints that inspire a sense of discovering another world. A possible landing on Elephant Island, named for the shape of its cliffside and the elephant seals that call it home, puts you on the same path as the famous Shackleton Expedition. Deception Island, another possible landing and named for its very nature, is in fact a volcanic caldera where you can find heated springs amid the striking black sands. Other stops could include Half Moon Island, Yankee Harbor, Point Wild and Barrientos Island, where you can find plenty of Gentoo penguin rookeries.

CAPTAIN’S CHOICE — Your Captain will expertly navigate ice floes, icebergs and changing sea and weather conditions to ensure you experience the most from your expedition. Each day is a new adventure filled with a spontaneous sense of exploration as your Captain works with our expedition team to determine possible shore landings and Zodiac safaris. All itinerary routes serve as examples and are subject to change based on current conditions, prioritizing the safety and optimal expedition experience for all guests.
 
01/01/2026 - 01/03/2026 - Exploring the Antarctic Peninsula – Captain’s Choice
Nicknamed The White Continent for its vast expanse of icebergs, snow and glaciers, Antarctica is often the final frontier for experienced explorers to conquer. As you navigate Antarctic waters, you may set foot on sites like Beak Island, Brown Bluff, Cierva Cove, Hidden Bay and many more. Each landing throughout the continent offers its own unique landscape, from expansive tundra to rugged mountain peaks, all beckoning you to follow the paths that few explorers have trekked before.

Ushuaia (Days 1, 1, 10, 10)

The southernmost town in the world, Ushuaia sits at the edge of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina´s "land of fire," so named because of the fires lit by Indians to warn of the arrival of Magellan´s ship. Surrounded by a countryside of snowcapped mountains, dense forest, rivers and waterfalls, the town has a rugged, frontier spirit. Nearby Tierran del Fuego National Park is a wildlife sanctuary.
Attractions & Activities
Savor the spectacular beauty of Tierra del Fuego’s lakes, lush forests, flora and fauna and soaring mountains by train, 4-wheel drive, on horseback, or on an off-road forest trek. Enjoy the expansive views from Garibaldi Pass and watch for sea lions and albatross along the Beagle Channel.
