We’ll transit the Lemaire and Neumayer Channels*, filled with some of the most dramatic and humbling landscapes of unimaginable beauty, and sail through “Iceberg Alley,” passing mountains of ice sculpted like giant mounds of whipped cream. If weather permits, we may also try Zodiac cruising for a view
of the various seals and penguins resting on ice floes. Invariably every outing reveals another wonder.

Pre-Cruise
Enjoy a complimentary overnight hotel stay in Buenos Aires before flying to Ushuaia to begin your expedition. The Argentine city offers history-rich sightseeing and dozens of other attractions. If your flight arrives early enough, you’ll have time for an optional city tour.
Day 1
Fly to Ushuaia for a sightseeing tour along the steep streets of the southernmost city in the world. Here we board Minerva and settle in for our first night at sea. Take advantage of the austral summer daylight to toast a bon voyage out on deck as we set sail past the cormorant and seal colonies of the magnificent Beagle Channel.
Day 2
As we cruise east towards the Falklands, our team of experts begin their informal discussions on the fauna, flora and history of Antarctic exploration. Tonight is the Captain’s Welcome Dinner. This evening and our last aboard ship are the only two nights where informal attire is suggested. All other evenings will be country club casual.
Port Stanley, Falkland Islands
Day 3
Enjoy a taste of Victorian England in the South Atlantic. Take a walk through the streets of the Falklands’ quaint frontier capital with its colorful houses and friendly residents. A choice of optional excursions is available.
Days 4 - 5
A virtual parade of natural wonders fill the landscape during our days at sea and throughout the rose-colored nights. Amid the spectacular scenery and ice-filled channels, we’ll look for whales and seals, giant albatross and blue-eyed shag. After each evening’s leisurely dinner, there’s time to stroll the deck and gaze at the seascapes in the lingering light of an Antarctic summer twilight.
South Shetland Islands & Antarctic Peninsula
Days 6 - 9
We plan to land on the Antarctic Penninsula and also visit a number of islands in the South Shetlands. On most days we'll make two landings, heading out in swift We plan to land on the Antarctic Peninsula and also visit a number of islands in the South Shetlands. On most days we’ll make two landings, heading out in swift and versatile Zodiacs, accompanied by lecturers. In the sunken caldera at Deception Island, some may dare to take a dip in the thermal springs of Pendulum Cove. Ashore, thousands of penguins strut like miniature Charlie Chaplins. Crabeater, Weddell and leopard seals laze in the sun.
Days 10 - 11
This remote 600-mile stretch teems with wildlife at this time of year, when the warmwaters of the north converge with the icy waters of Antarctica, creating a nutrient-rich feeding ground of krill and plankton for multitudes of seabirds and whales. Now is the time to compare notes and exchange addresses with your fellow shipmates while the guides recap the highlights of your voyage.
Day 12
Today we disembark for our complimentary charter flight to Buenos Aires to catch connecting flights home. If you’ve added an optional hotel or land extension, your transfers are included.
