5Highlights
A Christmas cruise to Antarctica is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that combines the magic of the holiday season with the awe of Earth’s most pristine wilderness. This 11-day luxury Antarctica cruise departs from Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world. As you journey across the legendary Drake Passage, albatross soar alongside the ship and daylight stretches longer each day, marking your approach to the White Continent.
Your first sight of Antarctica will be the South Shetland Islands, rich in history and teeming with iconic wildlife such as penguins, seals, and seabirds. From there, the voyage continues into the heart of the Antarctic Peninsula, focusing on the Gerlache Strait. Here, towering mountain ranges, immense glaciers, and sculpted blue icebergs create the perfect setting for unforgettable encounters with penguin colonies, whales, and other marine mammals.
This Argentina-to-Antarctica cruise is a true expedition with luxury, adventure, and discovery in one of the last untouched frontiers on Earth.
