Your adventure begins in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. After settling into your hotel, relax or explore before meeting your fellow travelers. The next day, board the Seaventure and set sail for Antarctica with a warm welcome and Captain’s dinner. As you cross the Drake Passage, enjoy expert talks and wildlife sightings before arriving at the South Shetland Islands, where volcanic landscapes, glaciers, and penguin colonies await. Continue south along the Antarctic Peninsula, exploring ice-filled bays, historic sites, and whale-rich waters. Weather permitting, you’ll cross the Antarctic Circle—a rare and memorable achievement. Heading back north, take in more of Antarctica’s beauty before crossing the Drake Passage again. Disembark in Ushuaia with lasting memories of this extraordinary journey.
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!
Join our Polar Experts as they share their vast knowledge of Antarctica, from its enchanting wildlife to its bold history. Participate in our pioneering Citizen Science program, or sit back and take in this fabled journey while catching glimpses of rarely-seen wildlife. Keep your binoculars handy to identify the many seabirds that escort our ship as we cross the Antarctic Convergence into Antarctica’s waters and noticeably cooler temperatures, your cue to get ready for that first iceberg sighting, an unforgettable moment on every journey.
Over time, the volcanic activity of the South Shetland Islands has created a geology unlike any other. Here, you can expect a spectacular display of mountains, glaciers, and wildlife, including Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins, and it’s not uncommon to share the water’s edge with Elephant and Fur seals. Whales are often spotted as well. So, we’ll settle into our Zodiacs and kayaks and spend most of our day exploring. Whether on land or sea, in Zodiac or kayak, be prepared for a fully immersive introduction to this incomparable part of the world.
Heading south across the Bransfield Strait, we begin to see the breathtaking outline of the Antarctic Peninsula. Wildlife sightings, including penguins, whales, and fur seals, become more frequent, as do dramatic sculptural icebergs. With extra time to explore, possibilities abound. We’ll look to visit historic sites like the huts at Damoy Point, keep an eye out for humpback whales in Wilhelmina Bay, and continue our twice-daily outings until we reach the crown jewel of this expedition, the jaw-dropping scenery through the Lemaire Channel. Weather permitting, we’ll cross the Antarctic Circle at 66°33’S, an achievement that will put you in rare company. Following a tradition first established by sailors crossing the equator, we’ll celebrate the occasion by… (Sorry, you just have to be there), before heading onward toward any number of historic and rarely visited British Survey bases, after which we turn back north.
Heading north, we’ll explore all the Antarctic Peninsula has to offer, including any number of spectacular bays and famed landing sites, maneuvering through dramatic channels as we traverse the wildlife-rich waters, encountering a wide variety of lively penguins, seals, and whales along the rugged coastlines and in the sea. There are always great opportunities to stop at several active scientific bases and historic landing sites along the way, as we leave no opportunity unseized upon in our quest to explore the very best of this magical place.
We leave this magical place and make our way north, once again heading across the Antarctic Convergence and the Drake Passage. We have one last hurrah as we celebrate the conclusion of our expedition with a special slideshow and a final meal together.
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
After a full day and delicious dinner onboard, jump back in the Zodiacs and head ashore for a night of camping in Antarctica! Enjoy the sounds of the waves and brash ice on the beach, the creaking of the glaciers, maybe even the blow of a passing whale. Warm and cozy in your bivy sack under the midnight sun, you will be breathing the cleanest air in the most beautiful place on the planet.
Camping is limited to one night per voyage and is available on Peninsula and Circle Crossing voyages. Participant limit varies by ship. Sign up early — the camping option frequently sells out.
US$ 395 por pessoa
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$350 por pessoa por saída
Snowshoeing is an activity that allows you to hike across soft, powdery snow up gentle slopes to reach to unique vantage points without the hassle of sinking into deep snow. Snowshoeing is as basic as hiking and you do not need to have previous experience.
US$ 150 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.
