About the trip

This 13-night tour with G Adventures is an expedition-style voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula, widely considered one of the most remote regions on earth. The journey includes a night in Ushuaia, Argentina, before setting sail across the Drake Passage past the South Shetland Islands.

Over seven days, the itinerary takes in landings on icy shores where penguins shuffle across frozen beaches and albatross wheel overhead. The focus is on wildlife and landscape, including watching pods of whales from the ship’s deck and zodiac excursions to explore more intimate environments. Expert guides offer lectures and interpretative talks that dive into the biology, geology, and history of Antarctica, enriching each encounter.

Travel aboard the ice-strengthened Expedition vessel includes practicalities such as provided waterproof boots for zodiac landings and casual dining in unassigned seating. The itinerary is flexible, adapting to the region’s unpredictable conditions, and the expedition team is dedicated to environmental stewardship and visitor education.
