Dia 1: Chegada e passeio por Ushuaia
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.
Dia 2: todos a bordo! Seaventure!
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!
Dias 3 e 4: Passagem de Drake
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.
Dia 5: Ilhas Shetland do Sul
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.
Dias 6 a 9: chegando ao Círculo Polar Antártico
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.
Dias 10 a 12: Península Antártica
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.
Dias 13 e 14: Passagem de Drake
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.
Dia 15: desembarque em Ushuaia
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.
