| Southern Shetland, South Georgia, Falklands Islands & Antarctic Peninsula |
|
Traveling to Antarctica, the White Continent, on the MV Ushuaia, is a classic 11-day journey visiting the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula, discovering beautiful, virgin landscapes full of incredible fauna, such as white right whales, penguin’s rookeries, yellow-crested penguins, Adelie penguins, and imperial cormorants or giant petrels.
If we want to travel towards Antarctica in an exclusive cruise, we recommend the Antarctic Dream cruise to enjoy a special journey along the typical route visiting unique places. All the cruises to Antarctica are worthwhile taking, depending particularly on the money each person is willing to spend on this fascinating trip; though the most recommended is the most economical, so the MV USHUAIA is the first choice among all, since it is an oceanographic ship and the crew speaks both English and Spanish.
We do not only offer cruises to Antarctica such as the MV Ushuaia for an expedition travel, but also a journey on Russian icebreakers like Kapitan Khlebnikov, Kapitan Vavilov, Akademik Sergey, Akademik Shokalskly or Orlova to visit Antarctica heading for the Antarctic Peninsula.
We will also have the opportunity to visit Antarctica from the air, flying over the rough waters of the Drake Sea and Cape Horn; we will set out from Punta Arenas and head for King George Island and South Shetland Islands. Once on shore, we will go on board the Grigory Mikheev to sail along the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. These air-cruises save us the first days of oceanic navigation, and the Drake Passage.

In the Explorers’ Route we will sail towards the Islands of the Southern Ocean. In the Falklands we will see the nesting grounds of the black-browed albatross, and stroll around the streets of Stanley before heading for South Georgia. In this island, the Sir Ernest Shackleton’s rescue of the crew of Endurance will be in our minds: we will disembark at Grytviken (whaling station). Finally we will head for South Shetland Islands to complete the explorers’ route. |
