  • Days 1-2

    Ushuaia, Argentina

    Your journey begins in the world's southernmost city. Take your first day to adjust and organize your cold-weather gear. You can find thermal layers here at better prices than on the ship. On Day 2 you'll board the expedition ship. Plan to arrive at the port by 3 PM for a smooth embarkation.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Drake Passage

    Get ready for the Drake crossing. Start taking motion sickness medication before you feel ill. A fellow traveler shares: "The Drake was rough, but the ship's stabilizers helped tremendously. Stick to the middle of the ship where there's less movement."

    
  • Days 5-9

    Antarctic Peninsula

    Most people spot their first penguins and icebergs early on Day 5. The ship makes 2-3 landings daily when weather allows. Wake up early for the best wildlife viewing. Your camera batteries will drain faster in the cold, so pack extras and protect your gear during Zodiac rides.

    
  • Days 10-11

    Scotia Sea

    The journey to South Georgia takes two days. This is a good time to review photos and learn from the onboard experts. The seas are usually calmer than the Drake. Keep watching for whales, they're often spotted in these waters.

    
  • Days 12-15

    South Georgia

    You'll spend four days exploring where Shackleton found his final rest. The king penguin colonies are incredible, with numbers reaching hundreds of thousands. The ground can be tricky, so bring hiking poles. You'll need waterproof pants for getting in and out of the zodiacs.

    
  • Days 16-17

    Southern Ocean

    During these sea days heading to the Falklands, the Deck 5 observation lounge gives you the best views. Load up your devices with entertainment before leaving home since ship internet is limited and costly.

    
  • Days 18-19

    Falkland Islands

    Stanley welcomes you with its bright houses and five different penguin species. Walking here is easier than in South Georgia. Stop by Stanley's post office to send postcards with special Antarctic stamps.

    
  • Days 20-21

    Return to Ushuaia

    The final leg takes you through the Beagle Channel. Pack up the night before you arrive since disembarkation starts early on Day 21. Schedule your flight after 11 AM to have enough time for customs.
