      I also wanted information on visa process required for Argentina.

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten September 2024

      Many countries require a visa and obtaining the correct visa for your trip and any countries you may transit through is your responsibility. No visas are required to visit the Antarctic continent or its offshore islands. However, you will need to have your passport with you on the ship, as port authorities will wish to inspect passports on departure from Ushuaia and also again at the end of your voyage
