It's an early morning start with a transfer to the airport for your included flight to Iguazu Falls.

Drop your bags at the hotel and we set off towards Iguazu National Park, established in 1934 to protect the scenic beauty of the waterfalls, surrounded by the lush subtropical jungle with its characteristic animal and plant species. 

We arrive at the Visitor Center and reach the Central Station to board the Ecological Train, heading to the Garganta Station. From there, we begin our journey on the walkways circuit, among islets and lush vegetation, until we reach the Garganta del Diablo Balcony, where we enjoy the impressive Garganta del Diablo, the largest waterfall in the falls with a height of 72 meters and an average flow of 1,700 m3/s. 

We return to the Garganta Station to head to the Cataratas Station, where we start the Upper and Lower Circuits, descending to the Two Sisters, Mbiguá, Chico, Ramírez, Bosetti, and the imposing San Martín waterfall.

We head from Puerto Iguazú towards the border with Brazil, crossing the Tancredo Neves Bridge over the Iguazu River. We arrive at the Visitor’s Center at the entrance to the Brazilian National Park, where we board the ecological bus and travel 20 km through the Paraná jungle until we reach the beginning of the boardwalk circuit. 

There, we enjoy a panoramic view of the falls located on the Argentinian side and San Martín Island. We progress along the 1,200 meters of boardwalk, while the sound of the water becomes increasingly intense. 

Finally, we conclude our walk at the Floriano Falls in Brazil. Transfer back to hotel and rest of day at leisure.

After breakfast, enjoy the morning at your leisure before flying back to Buenos Aires in the afternoon and transferring to your included hotel. Enjoy dinner on your own in Buenos Aires at one of the many famed steakhouses or Michelin Star restaurants. 

Enjoy a day to yourself to explore this famed city. 

Self-transfer from your hotel to the included pre-night cruise hotel before your Antarctica adventure begins. Your day is free to enjoy.

At 6pm join your fellow explorers for a briefing and orientation of what is to come. Transfer time and boarding passes will be allocated. 

After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your approximately 3-hour flight to Ushuaia. On arrival you will be shown to your awaiting bus for a 4-hour tour of Tierra del Fuego National Park. After the tour board the ship where your luggage and lunch will be waiting.

This evening we set off through the Beagle Channel towards the Drake Passage and Antarctica.

The Drake Passage leads you from the southernmost region of the Americas to the Antarctic Peninsula, the northern point of The White Continent.

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.

Join your onboard scientists, naturalists and geologists on the decks for wildlife spotting like you've never seen. Look out for whales, dolphins and a surprising number of birdlife. Inside, entertainment, board games, cards and other activities will keep you busy the whole day.

As you cross the Antarctic Circle at the 66th southern parallel, you enter what feels like another world, creating a connection with your inner explorer spirit. It’s a space rarely navigated, with narrower channels that bring you closer to ice floes, snow-capped mountain peaks and wondrous icebergs, making for a picture-perfect scene. When you do make the crossing, you join the Order of the Red Nose, the select few who navigate deep into the furthest reaches of The White Continent, an unbeatable feeling of triumph.

CAPTAIN’S CHOICE - The Antarctic Circle Crossing may be attempted on a different date during the expedition than indicated on the itinerary due to changing conditions. Expeditions at certain times of the season are not guaranteed to cross the circle as they depend on weather and ice conditions that may limit the ability to navigate that far south. 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..

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.

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.
