Wander past French and Italian architecture in Recoleta, finding respite from the summer sun in the sprawling plazas and parks of Palermo, where fleets of parrots and songbirds roost. At night, try a choice cut of steak in San Telmo before heading to a local bar, club, or confitería along Avenida Corrientes for a late night fueled by tango dancing. Consider arriving a few days early to participate in our Pre-Program and explore the wild land of Patagonia., Optional Private Excursions Avoid the crowds and hustle and bustle associated with a group activity.

Antarctica Antarctica 03/21/2025 Welcome to Antarctica. This vast continent is covered almost entirely by ice and snow. Enormous ice shelves tower over our ship, flanked by building-sized icebergs. Glaciers cascade down the mountains, crumbling toward the shoreline where they calve into the water. Austral summer is coming to an end when we arrive, and you can expect to see these landscapes beautifully illuminated by breathtaking sunsets. This is also the best time of year to see penguins in their final stage of molting and to spot different whale species as they gorge themselves on krill. Over five days, we plan to visit several possible sites in the South Shetlands and on the Antarctic Peninsula, depending on when and where conditions are the best. We don't just waive and sail by. The Expedition Team has big plans for you. They will guide ice-cruises and on-shore landings, bringing you to historic and scenic sites and to penguin colonies (always at a respectful distance). You may even have the opportunity to go kayaking among the icebergs, an optional activity. The Expedition Team will also continue their lecture program and, should you choose to participate, you will find plenty of wildlife to catalog as part of a Citizen Science project. The itinerary for an expedition cruise is not set in stone, nor should it be. This allows us to be flexible and adapt to our best options throughout the voyage. After sailing these waters for years, we know all the possible landing sites, and maximize the experience by knowing when and where to go.,	03/21/2025	03/25/2025

You might also have the opportunity to examine seawater samples taken in Antarctica, allowing you to study its wildlife at the cellular level. Watch for wildlife from the deck, relax in the Explorer Lounge & Bar, or just watch the scenery glide by from an outdoor hot tub or the heated infinity pool. As we approach the Falkland Islands, the ship is usually followed but a number of different bird species, such as gulls, fulmars, petrels, and albatross.,	03/26/2025	03/27/2025
Falkland Islands Falkland Islands 03/28/2025 The barren, white wilderness of Antarctica will seem a world away when we reach the lush green grass, white sands, and farms of the Falkland Islands. Similar to Antarctica, our itinerary will be flexible during our three days here exploring the islands. This allows the captain and Expedition Team to pick the best spots for each day, based on the conditions at the time. This is a paradise for birds such as ducks, geese, albatross, caracaras, and wrens, not to mention the four different species of penguins found here: the king, rockhopper, Magellanic, and gentoo. The gentoo penguins typically hang out in large colonies around the islands, which you might be able to spot from the ship. If conditions allow, we might even visit a penguin colony during a landing. Stanley, the archipelago's capital, lies on East Falkland Island and is easy for the ship to access. Small enough to be explored on foot, it is complete with icon English red buses, inviting restaurants, and pubs full of friendly locals.,	03/28/2025	03/30/2025
At Sea At Sea 03/31/2025 As we set out for another day at sea, the Expedition Team will host new lectures and presentations.

And if you haven't already, gazing at the scenery and watching for wildlife from the sauna or one of the hot tubs isn't a bad way to spend some time! There are so many ways to enjoy a day at sea...,	03/31/2025	03/31/2025
Puerto Madryn Puerto Madryn 04/01/2025 Welsh immigrants founded Puerto Madryn in 1865, and late austral summer temperatures might even tempt you to visit its inviting beaches. Puerto Madryn is also the gateway to the dramatic Valdes Peninsula, there is an optional excursion here to explore a stunning nature reserve that has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site that we highly recommend. You might spot marine mammals such as fur seals, elephant seals, sea lions, and perhaps even a southern right whale, a baleen whale, or an orca. At least 180 species of birds live on the peninsula, so break those binoculars out and find your new favorite birds. No worries if you aren't into birds. Puerto Madryn is a great place for just walking around, sampling foods, and shopping for local arts and crafts.,	04/01/2025	04/01/2025
At Sea At Sea 04/02/2025 Your adventurous expedition cruise is coming to an end after a fascinating tour that included Antarctica, the Falkland Islands, and Puerto Madryn.

The next stop is picturesque La Boca, home to Caminito, perhaps the city's most photographed street thanks to its corrugated iron and brightly coloured houses. This block houses one of the few outdoor museums in the world, where artists exhibit work, related to the influence of mainly Italian immigrants who arrived at this port at the end of the 19th century. La Boca is home to the legendary football (soccer giants) Boca Juniors, whose colours of blue and yellow adorn most of the houses and stores in this neighbourhood.

Once in the northern area of the city, drive past Palermo Chico with its impressive townhouses, tree-lined boulevards, and parks.
