Fly to the world's most southerly city of Ushuaia, where you can sample the local delicacy — king crab!

In the morning, you will have free time to explore the city before you board the ship and set sail along the Beagle Channel. Settle into your cabin (this version is based on a mid-range twin cabin with an en suite).

You will enter the Drake Passage at around 2am and spend the day making your way across this notorious stretch of water. Surprisingly, the wildlife spotting on the way can be amazing, with wandering albatross, Wilson's petrel and even blue whales possible.

Come to the end of the Drake Passage and start to spot the first icebergs as you approach the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula.

Shore landings and excursions on the Antarctic Peninsula and nearby islands such as Petermann, Livingston and Deception. There will generally be two excursions per day.

Shore landings in Antarctica. You may also have the chance to camp on the ice, go kayaking or even snorkelling or diving. More and more adventure options are being added to Antarctic expeditions, so please ask if you are interested.

Arrive back in Ushuaia early in the morning and transfer to the airport for a flight to Buenos Aires, where you will spend the night. We have kept this itinerary short, but we would also recommend that, if you have time, you head out to an estancia to relax for a day or two. Trips to Antarctica can be hard work as you are constantly on the move, and lots of people need a few days' rest before returning home.
