Punta Arenas, Chile

Once onboard, get settled in, explore the ship, and meet your Expedition Team. As well as being your guides, hosts, and local experts, they're also your travel companions for the next three weeks.

Drake Passage, Antarctica

Prepare for your Antarctic adventure. Before you reach Antarctica, you must first experience the legendary Drake Passage - a 'rite of passage' if you will - a two-day crossing where sea conditions can vary dramatically. It's named after Sir Francis Drake, who discovered it by chance when his boat was blown south by heavy winds. Visit the Science Center and find out what lies ahead. Your Expedition Team will deliver lectures on Antarctica, including its history, wildlife, and ecosystems. Learn how to make your visit as safe and as low-impact as possible and discover the Citizen Science projects you can join. Use this time to enjoy all the onboard comforts at your disposal. Relax in the hot tubs or the panoramic sauna, look out for icebergs, whales, and albatrosses on deck, or unwind in the Explorer Lounge & Bar. ...

Cruising Antarctica, Antarctica

The most remote and starkly beautiful place on Earth. Nothing prepares you for your first sight of Antarctica's immense, frozen beauty. Icebergs, sculpted by nature, float in the straits. Gentoo, chinstrap, and Adelie penguins watch from the shores while seabirds soar overhead. Nature is in charge. During the next eight days, you'll be busy exploring several landing sites. There are more than 20 possible sites on and around the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands. It doesn't matter where we go or what we do, every day will be thrilling and unlike anything you've experienced before. We might sail into a flooded volcanic caldera or land in icy bays where remnants of whaling paraphernalia lie abandoned. You may also have the chance to kayak among icebergs and seals or snowshoe to a stunning viewpoint. Bird enthusiasts should look skyward for Antarctic seabirds such as skuas, petrels, and terns. Through onboard lectures and onshore talks, you'll learn more about this precious habitat and how we can all protect it for the future. ...

Look out for Chilean flamingos, and you may even spot the mighty Andean condor. Puerto Natales is a popular hub for hikers and travelers, with many eateries, bars, and outdoor shops. Set out on your own to visit the artisan village at Etherh Aike, enjoy a gin tour at the Last Hope Distillery, or stroll along the picturesque waterfront. ...

Puerto Eden, Chile, Chile

Discover Kawesqar culture in a Patagonian village. Set at the end of a deep fjord, our next stop is the enchanting village of Puerto Eden, set in Bernardo O'Higgins National Park. The tiny settlement is only accessible by sea, and the ferry that connects it to the mainland only visits once a month. There are no roads here - just wooden boardwalks connecting houses and shops. Its 250 inhabitants include some of the last remaining members of the Indigenous Kawesqar people. You will have the chance to talk to them and gain insight into their unique culture. ...

Castro, Chile

See stilt houses and historic churches. Set among the lush vegetation of Chiloe Island, Castro is Chile's third-oldest city. It's home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, namely Iglesia San Francisco and Iglesia Nuestra Senora de Gracia de Nercon. From various vantage points, enjoy great views of the city's colorful 'palafitos', which are stilt houses situated along the waterfront. For a bit of culture, head to the Regional Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. Bring your binoculars, as Chiloe is an important habitat for bird species such as green-backed firecrowns and Chilean flamingos, along with penguins, black-necked swans, ringed kingfishers, and silvery grebes. ...
