Itinerary



Day 1 - Day 1 - Buenos Aires
Passionate and alive with infectious energy, Buenos Aires blends colonial architecture with Latin American clamour, famed for tango and expertly seared steak. Plaza de Mayo, bordered by the salmon-hued Casa Rosada, has been the stage for fundamental events in Argentine history, while Teatro Colon, the opulent 1908 opera house, is considered one of the world's finest venues. The Cementerio de la Recoleta, honouring presidents and national heroes, is among the city's most distinctive experiences.
Day 2 - Day 2 - Day at sea
Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and pursue personal interests, whether visiting the gym, the spa, or simply watching for whales from deck. These blue sea days offer an ideal balance to busy days spent exploring ashore.

Day 4 - Day 4 - Puerto Madryn
Puerto Madryn, founded by Welsh settlers in 1865, is Argentina's gateway to the Valdés Peninsula. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is where southern right whales congregate to breed between June and December, sharing the reserve with elephant seals, orcas, and Magellanic penguins. The town itself preserves its Welsh heritage in traditional tea houses and estancias still run by Patagonian Welsh families.

Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and pursue personal interests, whether visiting the gym, the spa, or simply watching for whales from deck. These blue sea days offer an ideal balance to busy days spent exploring ashore.
Day 6 - Day 6 - Port Stanley
Port Stanley is the capital of the Falkland Islands and one of the most improbable small towns on Earth, a settlement of brightly painted corrugated-iron houses set against a treeless landscape of extraordinary windswept beauty. Red telephone boxes and a cathedral with a whalebone arch give it an unmistakably British character, but the surrounding wilderness is pure Patagonia. Colonies of Gentoo Penguins nest within walking distance of the harbor; Striated Caracaras and Upland Geese are constant presences. History, wildlife, and silence coexist here in an atmosphere found nowhere else.
Day 7 - Day 7 - Day at sea

The White Continent is an extraordinary place of gigantic icebergs, mountain peaks, and iconic wildlife. Cruising through these storied waters is a chance to take in the region’s sights and sounds — be it albatrosses gliding on the wind, whales in the dark water, or penguin colonies on rocky shores. Vast ice sculptures and mountains covered in glaciers make it an unforgettable journey.

Day 12 - Day 12 - Ushuaia
Ushuaia, on the Beagle Channel at the southern tip of Argentina, announces itself as the End of the World — a title it shares with Chilean Puerto Williams across the water. The Martial Mountains frame a town of coloured houses that serves as the gateway to Tierra del Fuego National Park and the departure point for expeditions across the Drake Passage to Antarctica.

The Martial Mountains frame a town of coloured houses that serves as the gateway to Tierra del Fuego National Park and the departure point for expeditions across the Drake Passage to Antarctica.
Day 14 - Day 13 - Garibaldi Fjord & Glacier
The Garibaldi Glacier lies within Parque Nacional Alberto de Agostini, a national park in the southern tip of Chile recognized by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve. The glacier flows to the terminus of the cinematic Garibaldi Fjord, where calving events send ancient ice into waters ranging in colour from creamy white to electric blue. Wildlife including penguins, sea lions, and Peruvian condors inhabits this diverse ecosystem.
Day 15 - Day 14 - Punta Arenas
Punta Arenas is the world's southernmost city of significant size — a wind-swept port at the Strait of Magellan. Its heritage was shaped by polar explorers, Patagonian sheep ranches, and the ships that once made this the crossing between oceans. Captain Scott reprovisioned here; Shackleton's crew were rescued nearby. The Nao Victoria Museum preserves the history of Magellan's circumnavigation.
Day 16 - Day 15 - Cruise Chilean Fjords
Winding through the vast expanses of the Chilean Fjords reveals mountains looming on both sides, waterfalls, and hardy flora clinging to barren rocks. Seals and dolphins patrol these uninhabited fjords while small fishing boats from Punta Arenas work the waters for king crab, and terns dip and glide among tiny islands thick with vegetation. The fjords have been shaped by millions of years of natural forces and remain among the most remote and undisturbed coastal landscapes on the planet.
Day 17 - Day 16 - Day at sea
Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and pursue personal interests, whether visiting the gym, the spa, or simply watching for whales from deck. These blue sea days offer an ideal balance to busy days spent exploring ashore.
Day 18 - Day 17 - Puerto Montt
Puerto Montt marks the end of Chile's central lake district and the start of Patagonia, its waterfront backed by the snow-capped cone of Calbuco volcano. The covered Mercado Artesanal and the wooden churches of Chiloé Island — a short ferry ride away — introduce the crafts and architecture of this seafaring culture, while the Carretera Austral begins here, heading south into wilderness.

Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and pursue personal interests, whether visiting the gym, the spa, or simply watching for whales from deck. These blue sea days offer an ideal balance to busy days spent exploring ashore.
Day 20 - Day 19 - Valparaiso
Valparaíso has inspired more Chilean poets, novelists, and painters than any other city in the country. Pablo Neruda had a house here, and the city's steep hills of coloured houses, street art, and funicular railways create an aesthetic entirely its own. Founded in 1536 and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the port city combines 19th-century mercantile grandeur with a bohemian energy that remains genuinely uncurated.
