The itinerary
Day by day,
beautifully considered.
This is the journey's natural rhythm. Every stage can be refined around your dates, interests and preferred pace.
Embarkation
A private morning in Tierra del Fuego leads to an effortless embarkation and the first passage through the Beagle Channel.
The Drake Passage
Cross south with polar experts, open decks and time to understand the scale of the ecosystem ahead.
The Antarctic Peninsula
Each day may bring Zodiac cruising, penguin colonies, sculpted ice, research stations or a silent landing — always led by conditions.
North across the Drake
Return through pelagic waters with lectures, thoughtful hospitality and time to absorb a landscape unlike any other.

Disembark to private assistance and your onward flight, or continue into Patagonia with ELEGANS.
