National Geographic Antarctica itinerary:
DAY 1:BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA
Arrive this morning in cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, set on the Rio de la Plata, and check in to the fine Caesar Park Hotel. In the afternoon, we have a guided overview of the city, seeing its Beaux Arts palaces, grand boulevards, and the famous balcony forever associated with Eva Peron. (L)
DAY 2: BUENOS AIRES/USHUAIA, ARGENTINA/EMBARK
The morning's LAN charter flight offers some rare views as we fly over the vividly rugged terrain of Patagonia before landing in Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world. We'll have lunch during a catamaran cruise of the scenic Beage Channel before embarking National Geographic Explorer. (B,L,D)
DAY 3: AT SEA
Awake well into our journey across the Drake Passage, with time to settle in to shipboard life and hear
talks from our staff preparing you for the exciting days ahead. (B,L,D)
talks from our staff preparing you for the exciting days ahead. (B,L,D)
DAYS 4-9: ANTARCTICA
With nearly 24 hours of daylight, we make the most of our six days, keeping a flexible schedule to take
advantage of the unexpected — perhaps watching a 40-ton humpback whale surface off the bow. One day, you may take a Zodiac foray amid towering bergs under a bright sun, hike to a summit for a breathtaking view, or kayak along a cliff-side rookery in search of blue-eyed shags. And the next, you’ll have the thrill of watching the ship crunch through the pack ice, or step ashore to the cries of thousands of gentoo penguins. You’ll learn from National Geographic-funded Oceanites scientists
how climate change affects their populations and get photo tips from a National Geographic
photographer while watching those same penguins. Back aboard, our Undersea Specialist may present
video from that day’s dive — rare images taken up to 1,000 feet below the surface using our ROV. Our
expert staff will craft an expedition where you will learn more, see more and experience more. (B,L,D)

Enjoy the ship’s amenities: have a massage, work out in the gym, savor time in the library, or listen to talks. Celebrate your adventure at our farewell dinner. (B,L,D)
DAY 12: USHUAIA/DISEMBARK/BUENOS AIRES
Disembark in Ushuaia with time to explore before our LAN charter flight to Buenos Aires. (B,L)
