Itinerary
Ships
Antarctica may be at the end of the Earth, but we’ve been bringing guests here for decades— safely sharing all the wonders of this vast land and sea. Join us to experience the thrill of crunching through the sea ice aboard our fleet of three state-of-the-art expedition ships to see scores of penguins and whales. People come for the wildlife but fall in love with the ice: an entire museum of colossal and magical ice forms defying description. And you’ll get a front seat to the dashing history of the Heroic Age of Exploration. Armed with a flexible itinerary that allows us to go where conditions are best and wildlife is most active, we’ll experience all the splendor of Antarctica. Venture into channels and coves framed by towering peaks. Watch whales play off the bow; glide around enormous icebergs in Zodiacs; photograph penguin colonies with a National Geographic photographer; and hike, kayak, and even possibly cross-country ski in complete tranquility.
- Explore the world’s last great wilderness in the company of a team of top naturalists celebrating Lindblad’s 50-plus years of expedition heritage
- Hike on magnificent mountains and see huge glaciers, plus observe thousands of penguins: gentoos, Adelie, and chinstrap
- Kayak in protected waters, paddling as penguins swim nearby
- Zodiac cruise in ice-choked channels and land on distant shores to explore on foot
- Early November departures offer the possibility to cross-country ski or snowshoe across the frozen sea ice, conditions permitting

DAY 1: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Arrive in Buenos Aires. Settle into the Alvear Art
Hotel (or similar, Explorer) before seeing the city’s
Beaux-Arts palaces and the famous balcony
associated with Eva Perón. Or check into the
Hotel Santiago by Mandarin (or similar,
Resolution) before our guided overview of this
vibrant city backed by the inspiring Andes.
Discover sites like the Plaza de Armas and get a
feel for the mix of old and new that makes this city
so great. This area is excellent for photos! (L)
DAY 2: Fly to Ushuaia, Argentina / Embark
Today we fly south to Ushuaia, the southernmost
city in the world, where we meet our ship.
Ushuaia’s spectacular setting, between the jagged
peaks of the Cordillera Darwin and the protected
waters of the Beagle Channel, makes it an
appropriately wild place to begin our journey to the
White Continent and a great destination in its own
right. While we’re there, we visit Tierra del Fuego
National Park, where we can view a beautiful
forest of southern beech, very much like those that
covered Antarctica millions of years ago. Lunch
will be served onboard a private catamaran while
cruising the Beagle Channel, where we’ll be on the
lookout for huge South American sea lions and
birds like imperial cormorants. Residents of
Ushuaia often call their small city ‘El Fin Del
Mundo’, The End of the World, but for us, it’s just
the beginning. (B,L,D)
DAY 3: At Sea Crossing the Drake Passage
This 500-mile-wide strait between South America
and the Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most
famous bodies of water in the world. Sometimes
ferocious, sometimes flat calm, the Drake is
always a fascinating place in its own right. This
part of the journey is our best opportunity to see
gorgeous seabirds like the wandering albatross,
and we might be lucky enough to encounter killer
whales or rare species of dolphins. This is also a
day to get to know our ship and prepare for the
adventures ahead. Visit the Bridge (a great place
to spot wildlife), have a relaxing massage, attend a
talk about the biology of the penguins you’ll soon
be seeing, or settle into a comfy chair in the
observation lounge, look out over the waves and
reflect on the incredible history of this fabled
passage. If it does get a little rough, just take a
couple of nice naps; we’ll be in Antarctica before
you know it. (B,L,D)
DAY 4: Exploring Antarctica
The Antarctic Peninsula stretches over 800 miles
from north to south, a spine of craggy peaks cut by
dozens of deep fjords. It’s an enormous region
with many different faces and ever-changing
weather, which is what makes Lindblad
Expeditions’ long experience here so important.
Five decades of exploration has given us an
unparalleled knowledge of the region, allowing us
to stay flexible and respond to changing
conditions, turn on a dime and select the optimal
activity for each day. We plan to be out daily,
exploring in our Zodiacs, hiking at penguin
colonies, discovering remote bays, photographing
wildlife, and learning fascinating details from the
naturalists and other experts who accompany us
on every excursion. (B,L,D)
DAY 5: Exploring Antarctica
Ice! It’s probably the very first thing most people
think about when the topic of Antarctica comes up,
and once you’re here it never disappoints. From
icebergs the size of islands to the fragile, nearly
invisible layers glistening on the surface where the
sea has just begun to freeze, from near-vertical
glaciers pouring down the slopes of every
mountain to the endless landscapes of sea ice,
frozen ocean stretching to the horizon in every
direction, ice defines the Antarctic. You’ll get to
know it up close and personal, hiking, kayaking
and cruising in the Zodiacs through this frozen
world. (B,L,D)
DAY 6: Exploring Antarctica
Our sturdy Zodiac landing craft are really the heart
and soul of our explorations in the Antarctic.
These tough, stable little motorized boats
maneuver easily through ice-choked waters,
getting us ashore safely in even the most remote
and challenging locations. And simply cruising in
the Zodiacs is just as much fun. What’s around the
next corner? A leopard seal relaxing on an ice floe
or a chance to photograph an exquisite arched
iceberg that no one has ever seen before? We
never know until we get there, but it’s always a
thrill. (B,L,D)
DAY 7: Exploring Antarctica
Penguins, without any doubt, are the most popular
residents of Antarctica, and we have many
chances to get to know them well. Their colonies
are almost always close to the beach, so it’s very
easy to get great photos. In the short Antarctic
summer these amazing birds are always busy with
the many tasks of breeding and raising their
chicks, so every month brings something new. In
November the adults are squabbling over the
pebbles they use to build their nests. By late
December the first chicks are tucked in under their
parents, peeping out at the world. And in February
the chicks have left their nests and are very active,
learning to swim and getting ready to fend for
themselves. (B,L,D)
DAY 8: Exploring Antarctica
Everywhere we go in the Antarctic we’re
surrounded by opportunities to capture uniquely
beautiful images with our cameras. Whether we
are cruising past spectacular glaciers in the ship,
getting close to seals in the Zodiacs, or hiking
around the penguin colonies, we are always in the
company of an expert National Geographic
photographer and a Lindblad photo instructor who
share what they see and help us to perfect both
the art and the technique of our own photography.
The impossibly gorgeous blue in the heart of an
iceberg, a penguin tenderly feeding its tiny chick or
a glorious sunset over frozen ocean, shots like
these surround us every day. Learning to capture
these perfect moments is both a wonderful
challenge and a huge thrill. (B,L,D)
DAY 9: Exploring Antarctica
Really exploring Antarctica also means simply
relaxing and watching while our ship cruises
through some of the most spectacular scenery on
Earth. Grab a cup of cocoa and a comfortable seat
in the Observation Lounge or visit the officers on
the Bridge; bundle up and climb all the way up to
the Monkey Deck for a really panoramic view, or
just kick back in your cabin and watch for seals on
ice or whales blowing in the distance. We make
transits of world-famous passages like the
Lemaire Channel and Antarctic Sound and go
ashore on the continent itself, but we also visit
equally amazing islands and places that you’ve
never heard of, yet! (B,L,D)
DAY 10-11: At Sea
Enjoy the ship’s amenities as the coast of
Antarctica disappears from view. Round the
southernmost tip of South America and see the
meeting of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Take
some time to go through your photos. Send a
message home to friends and family saying: “Don’t
want this to end!” And celebrate your voyage at a
farewell dinner on board. (B,L,D)
DAY 12-13: Disembark Ushuaia / Fly to Buenos Aires
Today we disembark in Ushuaia. Fly by private
charter flight to Buenos Aires and
connect with your overnight flight home. (Day 12:
B,L)
