Your journey begins in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. After settling into your hotel, explore the town before meeting your fellow travelers. The next day, board the Seaventure and set sail across the Southern Ocean toward Antarctica. En route, visit the Falkland Islands, home to lively penguin colonies and the historic town of Stanley. Continue to South Georgia, a wildlife paradise filled with millions of penguins, seals, and seabirds, and visit Grytviken, where Sir Ernest Shackleton is buried. Sailing through the Scotia Sea, approach the icy majesty of the Antarctic Peninsula. Explore its stunning bays, glaciers, and channels, visit research stations, and encounter penguins, whales, and seals in their pristine habitat. As the voyage concludes, cross the Drake Passage back to Ushuaia, cherishing the unforgettable memories of your expedition to the farthest reaches of the planet.
Depois de uma recepção calorosa no aeroporto e do traslado para o luxuoso Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa, aproveite para descansar ou explorar Ushuaia, a cidade mais austral do mundo. (No caso improvável de não haver vaga no Arakur, você vai descansar em outro dos melhores hotéis de luxo de Ushuaia.)
Nossa reunião opcional à noite é a sua chance de tirar dúvidas e conhecer alguns dos seus companheiros de expedição.
Passe a manhã descansando no hotel, visitando um museu ou explorando as lojas de Ushuaia, antes de seguirmos juntos para o navio no meio da tarde. Nossa equipe de expedição e a tripulação do navio recebem você a bordo e ajudam você a se instalar. Em seguida vêm a instrução de segurança e orientação e o jantar de boas-vindas do Capitão. Estamos a caminho da Antártica!
As we sail south, important briefings on environmental regulations and expedition safety are held, and you won’t want to miss our scientific and environmental experts as they begin their deeply knowledgeable, and always entertaining talks about the wildlife, history, and geology of the areas we will soon be exploring.
We’ll be exploring some of the westernmost settled outposts in the Falklands/Malvinas, a remote South Atlantic archipelago renowned for its rugged terrain and cliff-lined coast. As we stretch our legs along the farmland and beaches, we’ll have an opportunity to visit Albatross and penguin colonies. Look for Rockhopper, King and Magellanic penguin rookeries.
The archipelago’s largest island, Stanley, is a lively hub of activity nestled in a sheltered harbor. Here, the Falklands Islands Museum has fascinating exhibits devoted to maritime exploration, natural history, and the 1982 Falklands War. We’ll likely visit Gypsy Cove, part of Cape Pembroke peninsula, a National Nature Preserve. Magellanic penguins, also known as Jackass penguins for the braying sound they make, breed here, nesting in underground burrows. Other native bird species include Black-Crowned Night herons, Long-Tailed meadowlarks, Two-Banded plovers, and Upland and Kelp geese. Nearby Ordinance Point is the final resting place for several World War II guns.
Things continue ramping up with plenty of birdlife sightings as we make our way east across the Antarctic Convergence and officially enter Antarctic waters. See if you can identify the world’s largest bird, the Wandering albatross. From soaring giants like the Southern Giant petrel to the tiny Wilson’s Storm petrel, a range of impressive bird species will be hitching a ride on the updrafts created by ocean swells and waves. And be on the lookout for whale blows and our very first iceberg sighting.
South Georgia is often referred to as the ‘Serengeti of the Southern Ocean’ and it’s easy to see why as you take in tens of millions (not a typo!) of breeding penguins, seals, and seabirds. Breathtaking mountain scenery, majestically sculpted icebergs, glaciers in every direction, and a rich historical tapestry are all here to complement the incredible array of wildlife on view as we travel down South Georgia’s leeward coast. We’ll also visit the historic Grytviken whaling station, featuring the tiny graveyard where the great Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton is buried.
Seguindo mais ao sul, continuamos com as palestras informativas e a observação da vida selvagem, enquanto os icebergs ficam maiores e mais numerosos.
Here we’ll explore any number of picturesque bays and famed harbors, maneuvering through iceberg-rich channels as we travel alongside an array of wildlife. There are opportunities to stop at several active scientific bases and historic landing sites as we take in the wide range of penguin species, seals, and whales along the rugged coastlines and in the sea.
Deixamos este lugar mágico e seguimos para o norte, atravessando mais uma vez a lendária Passagem de Drake. Temos uma última comemoração para celebrar o fim da expedição, com uma apresentação de slides especial e uma refeição final juntos.
Com sorrisos largos em rostos cansados e satisfeitos, desembarcamos pela manhã, e você pode pegar um voo para Buenos Aires ou ficar em Ushuaia para mais passeios e aventuras.

Opcionais
Este programa é para os passageiros que querem só experimentar o caiaque polar. Cada participante rema uma vez por viagem, em um grupo de 14 pessoas, com uma equipe de guias dedicada e um Zodiac de segurança. O número total de vagas de caiaque em cada saída varia conforme a duração do itinerário e o tempo, mas procuramos colocar os grupos na água em todas as oportunidades.
*Recomendamos reservar com antecedência. Saídas adicionais podem ser compradas a bordo, se houver vaga.
US$350 por pessoa por saída
Este programa é para os passageiros mais experientes que querem remar o máximo possível durante a viagem. O Immersive Kayaking é limitado a 10 participantes, com um guia de caiaque dedicado e um Zodiac de segurança. Os participantes do programa imersivo terão a oportunidade de remar na maioria das excursões e dos desembarques, se o tempo e as condições permitirem.
US$ 1195 por pessoa
Ter um programa de Ciência Cidadã em todas as viagens é uma iniciativa pioneira nossa: fomos a primeira operadora antártica a colaborar oficialmente com o The Polar Citizen Science Collective. Continuamos trabalhando com eles em vários projetos, dando aos nossos passageiros a chance de ter um papel relevante no registro e na compreensão do ecossistema antártico e do impacto das mudanças climáticas. Isso ajuda especialmente na Antártica, onde apoiamos equipes acadêmicas de observação de longo prazo que dificilmente conseguiriam estar sempre presentes por conta própria.
Os projetos oferecidos podem variar um pouco conforme a viagem e a necessidade científica. Todos podem participar. Se tiver interesse, consulte o boletim diário de bordo e participe da reunião de introdução à Ciência Cidadã marcada para o início da viagem. Não há custo adicional.
O navio
Built for the polar regions and refined for the people who explore them, the Discoverer carries just 140 guests, intimate enough for personalized service and flexible shore landings, yet capable enough to push into remote coastlines that larger vessels can’t reach. Every stateroom faces outward, many with private balconies or Juliet balconies, while the wrap-around outer deck on Deck 6 puts you as close to the ice, wildlife, and open horizons as a ship will allow. Back on board, the Discoverer features outdoor jacuzzis, a panoramic observation lounge, and a wellness suite with gym, sauna, and steam room, offering a level of comfort that feels distinctly boutique, but with an expedition soul at its core.
The Discoverer remains a true expedition vessel at heart. An ice-strengthened hull, a fleet of Zodiacs for shore landings and wildlife cruising, and expansive outer decks – including a wrap-around outer deck on Deck 6, ideal for wildlife viewing and photography – make the ship perfectly suited for exploring remote polar environments. This expedition capability allows guests to spend more time experiencing the landscapes and wildlife of the polar regions and less time simply observing from afar.

Perguntas frequentes
In Antarctica, postal opportunities are very limited, and can typically only be offered in the Falkland Islands and at Grytviken in South Georgia. You can always send postcards once we disembark in Ushuaia, however!
While you may find the batteries or flash cards you need in stock in our Gift Shop, we strongly recommend that you bring extra supplies of everything, (including an extra charger) as availability of these items is very limited, and cannot be guaranteed.
During Antarctic voyages, it is highly unlikely that you will have cellular service once we leave Argentina. There is a telephone in your cabin, and Reception can arrange outside calls for a moderate charge; however, there may be times when phone service is limited or unavailable due to limited connection in Antarctica.
All cabins across all vessels across our fleet have abundant electrical outlets. These are mostly European 220V sockets, although Ocean Albatros and Ocean Victory also feature universal sockets that can accept most global plugs. Remember to bring adaptors, should your devices require a different voltage or socket. See the information pages for our individual vessels for further information.
Please do not bring any small appliances such as hairdryers, irons, coffee makers, curling tongs, or steam pots. These items can present a fire risk and damage the ship’s electrical system and are therefore strictly forbidden on board. There is a small hairdryer provided in your cabin.
Yes! Our ship features a Starlink wireless network accessible from your personal computer or smartphone from virtually anywhere on board. There are also public computers available in the ship Library which may be used for email and Internet (but not for uploading photos.) 500 free MB of data is included in the cost of your voyage. Additional data packages can be purchased from the hotel manager on board. Please note, due to weather and location, there may be times when Internet service is very slow or disrupted.
We can accommodate most dietary requests, such as low salt, gluten-free, and low cholesterol, and we include Vegetarian, Meat, and Fish options on all of our menus. Please enter any dietary limitations, from preferences to severe food allergies, when completing your medical information form. Please note that we are unable to offer Kosher meals. Should you have further information as to how we can best accommodate your needs, please speak to our friendly onboard Hotel Directors.
Yes! All vessels in our fleet offer a Fitness Center with cardio equipment, resistance machines, and free weights available for all guests to use at their leisure. Seaventure and Ocean Albatros also feature saunas, while Ocean Albatros and Ocean Victory also have two hot tubs aboard each, as well as a Spa offering a range of relaxing treatments.
Yes. A complete laundry service is available on board all of our vessels; please note, however, our vessels do not have dry cleaning facilities. There is no self-service laundry facility on board the ship and no irons for passenger use – our Laundry Team will be happy to press garments if required.
There is absolutely no smoking permitted anywhere inside the ship (including the balcony areas), on Zodiacs, or on landings – this includes e-cigarettes and vapes. International maritime law dictates that smoking on commercial vessels is permitted only in the designated smoking area; this location will be clearly identified during the Safety Briefing at the beginning of your voyage. Repeated non-compliance with our smoking policy will result in a $1000 penalty being added to your shipboard account. The Expedition Leader and Captain also reserve the right to disallow participation in off-ship activities for repeated non-compliance.
All cabin categories across our fleet have outside views with portholes or windows (including balcony windows). Only Suites designated as “Porthole Suites” have portholes – please see deck plans and cabin categories across our fleet for further details. We cannot guarantee the number of portholes or windows in your cabin, as this varies between our vessels. Windows and portholes do not open (excluding cabin balcony doors). Please note also that porthole covers may be closed during heavy weather.
Not cold at all (unless you would like it to be)! All vessels across our fleet are climate-controlled for your comfort, and all cabins feature individual temperature controls.
