Antarctica, an Expedition in Suites

Twelve nights to the white continent aboard a purpose-built expedition yacht — Zodiacs and submarines by day, a penthouse suite and a glass of something cold by night.

Below is one way the journey might unfold. Every night, table, and transfer is ours to reshape until it is unmistakably yours.

  1. 1
    Day 1

    Buenos Aires

    A night in the grand boulevards of Recoleta. Steak dinner, Argentine Malbec, and a dawn flight south to the end of the world.

  2. 2
    Day 2

    Ushuaia

    The world's southernmost city. Embark Seabourn Venture; a first Zodiac launch into the Beagle Channel at dusk.

  3. 3
    Day 3

    Drake Passage

    The great Southern Ocean crossing begins. Expert expedition briefings, binoculars on wandering albatrosses riding the swell.

  4. 4
    Day 4

    Drake Passage

    Swells to the horizon. Onboard lectures on Antarctic science and exploration history. First great tabular icebergs appear at dusk.

  5. 5
    Day 5

    South Shetland Islands

    Landing on King George Island. Chinstrap penguin rookeries and your first hour on Antarctic soil.

  6. 6
    Day 6

    Antarctic Sound

    Ice-cruising the Tabarin Peninsula. Leopard seals hauled out on floating floes; minke whales rising close to the hull.

  7. 7
    Day 7

    Paradise Bay

    A Zodiac morning in the most beautiful anchorage on the peninsula. Kayaking between ancient blue-green icebergs.

  8. 8
    Day 8

    Lemaire Channel

    The most dramatic strait in Antarctica. Humpback whales and cathedral seracs reflected in dark, still water.

  9. 9
    Day 9

    Petermann Island

    Gentoo and Adélie penguin colonies. Twin-submarine dive beneath the ice for those who wish it.

  10. 10
    Day 10

    Drake Passage

    North again. The spa, the suites, and the ship's wine cellar ease the miles as Antarctica recedes.

  11. 11
    Day 11

    Drake Passage

    Calmer today. South American land birds reappear. Expedition team presentations and a farewell dinner.

  12. 12
    Day 12

    Ushuaia

    Disembark at dawn. Farewell breakfast, then a charter flight north to Buenos Aires and onward connections.
