Welcome to Buenos Aires, where you’ll have an overnight hotel stay. Perhaps plan to spend some time in the city, known as the ‘Paris of South America’. Resplendent with Belle Epoque buildings, sidewalk cafes and green spaces, there’s the fiery passion of Latin America – a collective love for football, flame-cooked meats (asado) and the tango.

From Buenos Aires your included transfer flights will take you to Ushuaia, the main island of Tierra del Fuego and the southernmost city in the world. The Captain and crew will warmly greet you as you board your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht.

Today take some time to explore the Discovery Yacht and familiarise yourself with all the areas on board your new ultra-luxury home. Visit the Sky Bar on Deck 10 and step into the tranquil Senses Spa# on Deck 6 with its steam rooms, saunas, and relaxing Salt Therapy Lounge.

Remote and sparsely populated, the Falkland Islands are a wildlife lover’s paradise. The world’s largest population of Gentoo penguins is found here, in addition to King, Magellanic and Rockhopper penguins. Watch as they waddle along, interacting with each other. You can also find black-browed albatross, plus Cobb’s wren and Falkland’s flightless steamer duck, which are both endemic bird species.

While in the Falkland Islands, you’ll visit capital Stanley (subject to weather and operational conditions). Since its colonisation in the 18th century, the ownership of the Falkland Islands has been clouded in controversy between France, Britain, Spain and Argentina. This town offers a unique British outpost feel.

Freshly squeezed juice, barista-made coffee or tea delivered to your door by the butler will help start your day. Head to the gym for a workout or the studio for a Pilates class, some guided stretching or aerial yoga. You may wish to book a treatment at the tranquil Senses Spa#.

As you cruise towards South Georgia, enjoy a specialty tea or coffee in the Observation Lounge and watch the world float by through Swarovski telescopes. Choose one of up to 10 dining experiences and spend time with newly made friends – enjoy a casual lunch at Azure Bar & Café and an elegant dinner at Elements.

Today, venture into one of the most breathtaking wildlife sanctuaries in the Southern Ocean. If weather allows, explore the rugged coves and sweeping shores, where extraordinary wildlife abounds. With its untouched beauty and remarkable biodiversity, South Georgia offers an awe-inspiring experience for those seeking true wilderness.

Step back in time at Grytviken, a historic settlement that tells the story of early Antarctic exploration and industry. Pay tribute to legendary explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton at his final resting place and explore the remnants of the island’s past, where weathered whaling stations and rusting ships stand as enduring symbols of a bygone era.

A paradise for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike, South Georgia offers breathtaking landscapes and unparalleled wildlife encounters. If conditions allow, explore its dramatic shores, where untouched wilderness and striking scenery create the perfect backdrop for unforgettable moments. Be sure to have your camera ready to capture this awe-inspiring destination.

After a languid sleep-in and a luxurious in-suite breakfast, start the day with a yoga or Pilates class. Ask your butler to bring breakfast to your suite, where you can enjoy it at your leisure, surrounded by breathtaking views from your private balcony.

Today you will enter Antarctic waters, an unpredictable but stunningly beautiful environment that always surprises. Put on your complimentary polar parka and head to the Observation Deck to spot icebergs for the first time – a feeling that will stay with you forever. Watch out for whale blows in the distance.

Slide open the floor-to-ceiling doors of your verandah suite to see icebergs sculpted by nature and glacial mountains rising thousands of metres from the ocean. True magic awaits as you witness the incredible wildlife spectacle: from the graceful seals to majestic whales and delightful colonies of penguins that dot the landscape.

Every day, set out on unforgettable Zodiac excursions to explore breathtaking glaciated bays, tranquil channels, and pristine landing sites. Your dedicated Discovery Team will guide you as you trek across the awe-inspiring Antarctic wilderness, and meet the adorable chinstrap, Adélie, and gentoo penguins that inhabit this magical region.

For a truly unique and exclusive experience, book a helicopter excursion^ to visit Snow Hill Island (additional cost, subject to weather and operational conditions). This is home to a significant colony of around 10,000 Emperor penguins, one of only two of its kind in the Peninsula.

From the moment it was discovered, Antarctica has held an irresistible allure for intrepid adventurers. The bold exploits of legendary explorers like Scott, Shackleton, and Amundsen have fueled its mystique, inspiring generations to venture into this untamed wilderness.

Aboard our ultra-luxury yacht, every moment is designed for comfort and camaraderie, with our inviting lounge offering the perfect space to relax and share unforgettable experiences with like-minded travellers. For those seeking an exhilarating experience, the legendary Polar Plunge awaits—an unforgettable moment of pure adrenaline in the icy waters, carefully planned by the Expedition Leader and Captain.

As you cruise back across the Drake Passage toward South America, take this time to indulge in the ultra-luxury comforts of your Discovery Yacht and reflect on the awe-inspiring moments you have experienced. Start your day with an invigorating workout in the state-of-the-art gym, a guided Pilates session, or a moment of relaxation in the PURE: Yoga & Pilates Studio.

This is your final day on board your Discovery Yacht, so take the time to return to your favourite spots. That might mean one last treatment# in the luxurious Senses Spa or stretching out in a class at the PURE: Yoga & Pilates Studio.

This morning, bid farewell to your expert crew and fellow travellers as your extraordinary journey comes to an end. After a final indulgent breakfast on board, disembark in Ushuaia and board your flight to Buenos Aires, carrying with you memories of an unforgettable adventure in the pristine landscapes of Antarctica.
