Discover the cultural highlights of the renowned city of Buenos Aires.
DAY 1: Upon arriving in Buenos Aires at the beginning or end of your Antarctic journey, you will be met and greeted to transfer to your hotel. After checking in, you will walk over to a nearby restaurant for lunch to savor authentic Argentinian cuisine.
Afterward, take a walking tour of Recoleta Cemetery, where the rich and famous of the past are buried. With over 6,400 crypts, statues, coffins and sarcophagi – among them one of the most famous being Eva “Evita” Perón’s – this labyrinthine city of the dead beckons you to step back in time and explore some of the country’s most fascinating history.
From there, enjoy a brief walk to visit El Ateneo Bookshop, a renowned bookstore that even more than the bibliophiles will appreciate. Built within the former Grand Splendid theater and cinema, this bookshop maintains the ornate architecture and décor of the venue from its establishment in 1919. Once you finish your walking tours, you will return to have dinner either at the hotel or a nearby restaurant.
DAY 2: Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before boarding a bus for a panoramic tour of Buenos Aires’ highlights. Ride to May Square where you will have the opportunity to get off and walk to the neighborhood of San Telmo, renowned for its bohemian vibe with galleries, street murals and bars. Head over to La Boca, a neighborhood alive with the sound of music. Retaining strong influences of its Italian settlers, it holds a romantic atmosphere that’s prime for the tango performances you’ll find on almost any street corner. Enjoy lunch in this neighborhood before transferring back to the hotel. Settle in for a dazzling evening of a tango show and delicious dinner.
DAY 3: Check out of the hotel and be transferred to the airport for the journey back home if you’re enjoying the post-cruise immersion. Or if you’re enjoying the pre-cruise immersion, you’ll be transferred to the airport to fly to Ushuaia where you’ll embark on your voyage.
NOTE: Requires intermittent effort throughout, including walking medium distances over uneven surfaces and/or on steps. Comfortable shoes and clothing are recommended. Guests in wheelchairs need to be fully escorted by someone who can push the wheelchair around the city. This service can also be hired in Buenos Aires but needs to be pre-booked before the guests’ arrival. Order of sites visited may vary.

AVAILABILITY: WEATHER PERMITTING
INCLUDED
Atlas takes you closer to your environment as you embark on one of the custom-made Zodiacs made for World Navigator and World Traveller. Cruising Antarctic coasts, your knowledgeable experts guide you through the continent’s many wonders. As your Zodiac driver navigates the waters, stop and listen to the natural sounds that surround you. At first, you might think it’s all silence, but if you focus, the cries of snow petrels echo in the distance. You may encounter marine wildlife while out on the water, so focus on the soft but distinct rush of water and watch for the bubbles just before a breach. This is an essential excursion that truly gives you a pure feeling of triumphant exploration.
EXPEDITION LANDINGS

LANDING SITE AND WEATHER
AVAILABILITY: WEATHER PERMITTING
INCLUDED
There’s a feeling of connection that swells as you land on the shores of the Seventh Continent. Make your way across the snow, walking paths few explorers who came before you have and feel a sense of kinship with them. Your expedition guide may lead you to dedicated high points and sightseeing locations for some of the best views. Our polar expedition guides know the terrain almost as well as the wildlife and will enhance your experience as they point out the flora (yes, plants in Antarctica!) and fauna. You may come across some of Antarctica’s renowned wildlife, like a penguin colony filled with the whimsical birds as they go about their natural lives. Your guide will instruct you on how to properly interact at a safe distance so that you have the opportunity to make the most of your expedition and capture the moment while leaving only footprints behind.

Connect with your wild side as you plunge into the icy waters of Antarctica, much like the seals and penguins of the continent. The moment of truth comes as you approach the edge of the platform and prepare to make the jump. But with your fellow explorers cheering you on, it’s easy to take on the challenge. A photographer on board will capture the moment and you’ll even be rewarded with a certificate of achievement, so you can brag about your adventure to your friends and family back home. And feel free to be a spectator as you cheer on your fellow explorers while they take the dive.
DISCLAIMER: Safety harness is used. Activity is very safe. Guests should not carry any loose items on them at the time of the dive. All cameras, GoPros and similar devices need to be attached to the body.

If you’re an inexperienced kayaker looking for a bit of a challenge, then paddling is a more easily controlled kayak. Guided by a kayak master amid a small
group, this excursion gives you the opportunity to find your personal moment amid the epic landscapes and drifting ice floes. It’s an opportunity to glide
through Antarctica’s waters and perhaps come close to seals and whales as they swim nearby. Your kayak master helps you spot wildlife as you navigate the
waters and gives you the chance to appreciate the wondrous beauty of these animals as you connect with Antarctica’s nature.

For experienced stand-up paddlers a distinctive immersion in Antarctica happens with a stand-up paddle boarding excursion. It’s easy to admire the incredible scenery as you float atop chilly waters, facing the continent’s cliffs and peaks on the horizon.
You’ll feel a thrill run through you as you dip your paddle into the water, breaking the slush ice sitting atop the surface. Your excursion guide helps you spot marine wildlife as it passes nearby your paddle board, giving you the chance for that awe-inspiring moment you came all this way to capture. You can even pause and sit or lay down on your paddle board to gaze up at the impossibly blue sky overhead, looking for petrels, or other seabirds in the area. For added safety, a Zodiac driver follows close behind to help you on your journey.
Charged per occurrence.

SEA KAYAKING
DEPARTURES: AM AND PM WHENEVER WEATHER
PERMITS; AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE PER VOYAGE
AVAILABILITY: WEATHER PERMITTING
US$350 per person
Alongside a kayak master, experienced kayakers have the opportunity to set off through Antarctica’s unspoiled waters. Our kayak masters help you navigate the ice floes as you make your way through the water channels that bring you close to nature. With their guidance, you can safely cruise through the waters, perhaps even coming close to penguins as they dive from the ice floes into the sea. Sea kayaking offers a unique point of view of The White Continent as each paddle stroke takes you further from the ship and deeper into the heart of Antarctica. As you rush through the waters with your kayak, the astonishing blues and whites of the icebergs take your breath away. But take a few minutes to be still as well, because that’s when incredible moments can take place, like the possibility of a whale breaching the water’s surface mere feet away from your kayak.
