Arrive in Montevideo, Uruguay's vibrant capital city that boasts a rich 300-year history and an eclectic melange of Art Deco and Neoclassical architecture. While its Rambla (beachside avenue) may not be as famous as Barcelona’s, it’s much longer at 22 kilometres and traces the seaside almost the entire way. Most of the city’s streets connect to the Rambla, making Montevideo an easy place to navigate and explore. There’s a collective love of meat, wine, football and celebrations, as well as an annual month-long carnival.

Today, join an introductory presentation on your expedition voyage as the Discovery Team explains how your Zodiac and other Scenic Discovery excursions will operate during your voyage.

While Discovery excursions are weather-dependent, your Captain and Discovery Team Leader will ensure you make the most of this breathtaking destination.

Today is another leisurely day at sea. Head to the gym for an invigorating workout or the studio for a Pilates class, some guided stretching or aerial yoga.

Today you’ll visit the remote and rugged Isla Pingüino, a windswept wildlife sanctuary just off the Patagonian coast. Named for its charismatic residents, the island is home to a thriving colony of Magellanic penguins and, unusually, a small group of rockhopper penguins, the only such colony found this far north on the Atlantic coast. Step ashore with your expert Discovery Team for an up-close look at this vibrant ecosystem. As you walk the rocky terrain and seaweed-fringed coastline, keep your eyes open for lounging elephant seals and seabirds riding the thermals above the cliffs. The raw beauty of this windswept island offers a unique sense of seclusion and a deep connection to nature.

Sail through picturesque Whiteside Canal today and the historic Strait of Magellan, which links the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Today, you will witness the awe-inspiring Aguila Glacier and Condor Glacier, which form part of the Darwin Mountain Range – named after Charles Darwin – in Alberto de Agostini National Park. This is the third largest park in Chile, comprising fjords, glaciers and ice fields among subpolar forests and snow-capped peaks. Marvel at the immense size of these ancient ice formations cascading down the mountainside into the sea. Aguila Glacier is particularly beautiful feeding into a mineral-rich lagoon that attracts wildlife.
