Antarctica & South America Cruise - Itinerary
Long uncharted and unexplored, Antarctica’s very existence was even doubted. Once revealed, however, the world was quickly astonished at this stunning ice-bound realm. Travel off the beaten path, and be rewarded with dazzling views of other-worldly southern landscapes. Round Cape Horn and feel like a modern-day Magellan as you journey past steep headlands that mark the southern tip of South America.
Explore the very end of the world at Ushuaia, a one-time whaling station that is your gateway to the windswept wilderness of Tierra del Fuego National Park. In Chilean Patagonia, the jagged spires of magnificent Torres del Paine National Park offer ethereal views on an unforgettable shore excursion. See vibrant life among scenes of extreme desolation, and be amazed at how the simplest elements – water, rock, ice, and sky – combine to create staggering scenery.
The sequence of touring and days may be altered to adjust to religious holidays, special closings of sites, air schedule changes, etc. Hotels listed subject to availability. Meal inclusions may vary by departure.
