From Buenos Aires to Buenos Aires · South America & Antarctica · 21 nights
Seabourn has become the latest ultra-luxury cruise line to enter the expedition market with the launch of Seabourn Venture in 2022, followed by sister ship Seabourn Pursuit in 2023.
Seabourn Venture and Pursuit bring the trademark Seabourn style
and sophistication to the world of expedition cruising, with
interiors by designer Adam D Tihany, sumptuous veranda suite
accommodation and immersive adventure activities.
Your expedition begins in Buenos Aires with an included overnight hotel stay. Following your stay you will join a charter flight to Ushuaia where you will board Seabourn Venture and begin your voyage.
The streets of Buenos Aires are redolent of a grand old European capital, lined with elegant architecture that wouldn’t look out of place in Madrid or Paris. There is also plenty of Latin passion on display: Argentina is the home of tango, that most electrifying of dances, and has played host to countless revolutions over the years.
Perched on the ragged southern edge of Argentina, where the snow-capped Andes fall away into the churning sea, Ushuaia has a frontier town feel to it, and serves as the base for expeditions into the icy waters of Antarctica.
Antarctica is the world’s last great wilderness, an alien landscape of snow-covered mountains, jagged icebergs and extraordinary wildlife. January is a great time to visit, with temperatures at their warmest (by Antarctic standards), long hours of daylight (great for photographers), and the chance to see penguin chicks and seal pups.
Remote and virtually uninhabited, the island of South Georgia is a beautiful and fascinating place. The landscape of jagged, snowy peaks and dramatic fjords is home to an abundance of penguins and seals, as well as ghostly abandoned whaling stations and the grave of Sir Ernest Shackleton.
The rugged and windswept Falkland Islands make for a fascinating stop on the way to or from Antarctica. Over 80% of the population lives in the capital, Stanley, though humans are far outnumbered by other creatures, including penguins, sea lions and albatrosses.
