Day 1 · November 21, 2028Buenos Aires, Argentina
About Buenos Aires, Argentina
Buenos Aires combines European-inspired boulevards with an unmistakably Argentine rhythm. Recoleta’s elegant avenues, colorful La Boca, historic Plaza de Mayo and the theaters of Avenida Corrientes reveal contrasting city identities. Tango, literary cafés, contemporary art and parrillas serving grilled specialties make the capital a rewarding place to explore from morning into evening.

Days 3, 11 · November 23, 2028 · December 1, 2028Sail the Drake Passage
About Sail the Drake Passage
The passage across the Drake Passage is an at-sea period connecting destinations along the route. The day centers on navigation and views from the vessel rather than a scheduled shore visit. Weather, sea conditions, traffic, and operational needs can influence the exact course and visibility, so no particular coastal view, sighting, or activity is guaranteed.

Expedition days 4–10 · November 24–30, 2028Explore Antarctica
About Explore Antarctica
Antarctica is presented as a flexible expedition area rather than a fixed city or guaranteed landing. Weather, sea, ice, permits, safety, and other operating conditions can shape the day. The exact route and access are determined locally, so no particular landing, wildlife sighting, activity, viewpoint, or duration should be assumed from the regional label alone.

Day 12 · December 2, 2028Scenic Sailing: Cape Horn
About Scenic Sailing: Cape Horn
Cape Horn is a named scenic passage, experienced from the vessel rather than as a visit ashore. The surrounding water, coast, islands, or riverbanks provide visual context as the route unfolds. Visibility, exact course, and timing can vary with weather, water levels, traffic, and operational conditions, so no fixed viewpoint or shore activity is implied.
