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.
A night in the grand boulevards of Recoleta. Steak dinner, Argentine Malbec, and a dawn flight south to the end of the world.
The world's southernmost city. Embark Seabourn Venture; a first Zodiac launch into the Beagle Channel at dusk.
The great Southern Ocean crossing begins. Expert expedition briefings, binoculars on wandering albatrosses riding the swell.
Swells to the horizon. Onboard lectures on Antarctic science and exploration history. First great tabular icebergs appear at dusk.
Landing on King George Island. Chinstrap penguin rookeries and your first hour on Antarctic soil.
Ice-cruising the Tabarin Peninsula. Leopard seals hauled out on floating floes; minke whales rising close to the hull.
A Zodiac morning in the most beautiful anchorage on the peninsula. Kayaking between ancient blue-green icebergs.
The most dramatic strait in Antarctica. Humpback whales and cathedral seracs reflected in dark, still water.
Gentoo and Adélie penguin colonies. Twin-submarine dive beneath the ice for those who wish it.
North again. The spa, the suites, and the ship's wine cellar ease the miles as Antarctica recedes.
Calmer today. South American land birds reappear. Expedition team presentations and a farewell dinner.
Disembark at dawn. Farewell breakfast, then a charter flight north to Buenos Aires and onward connections.
