Your private driver will be waiting to transfer you to your luxury hotel where you will spend three nights in Argentina’s capital.  

Visit the iconic Plaza de Mayo and Presidential Place before wandering through the charming cobblestone streets of San Telmo, the multicoloured houses of La Boca and the elegant neighbourhood of Palermo.

Considered the gateway to the White Continent and the South Pole, Ushuaia is surrounded by mountains and fertile plains where an abundance of wildlife has taken sanctuary. Explore the area before embarking on your cruise. 

Settle into your spacious room, your home for the next 10 nights. Familiarise yourself with the ship, deepen your knowledge of Antarctica and admire the stunning landscape as the ship leaves for Drake Passage.  

At the border between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, you will enter the Drake Passage. Join the naturalist guides on deck to spot cape petrels, albatrosses and other seabirds in the sky, leading you towards the first of the continent’s lands. 

Throughout your adventures in this icy realm, embark on Zodiac cruises with your expedition leader to discover humpback whales, penguins and seals. Witness incredible landscapes, from calving glaciers plunging straight into the sea to glittering blue and white icebergs, bathed in polar light.

As the waves beat against the stern of the ship, snap some shots of mighty wildlife while you return along the Drake Passage. Arrive in Ushuaia where you will spend another night before returning to Buenos Aires. 

Transfer to a traditional estancia in Areco where we have arranged a number of authentic excursions, including a horse riding experience with a gaucho.  

Arrive in Dublin.
