Penguins

Greet penguins at almost every Antarctic landing site — these cuties are just as curious about humans as we are of them!

Birdwatching

Watch for albatrosses, including the rare wandering albatross, as well as petrels, fulmars, and terns from the deck of the ship.

Falkland Islands

Explore the wildlife of the Falkland Islands (both East and West Falkland) and tour the capital, Port Stanley.

Adventure Highlight: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Arguably South America’s most cosmopolitan capital, Buenos Aires is famed for its elegant architecture, fashion, cuisine, nightlife and of course, the passionate dance known as the tango

Adventure Highlight: Ushuaia, Argentina

The “City at the End of the World.” This former penal colony is now a charming gateway between the wildernesses of Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego and Antarctica. You’ll have time to take in the views of the snowcapped Andes and Beagle Channel, where Darwin made some of his evolutionary discoveries; and to poke around the town’s shops and cafés.

Tango Performance

The tango is more than a dance, it is an expression of passion and joy that crosses boundaries of class, race, ethnicity, and age. For that reason, UNESCO has declared it part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of the World, and during your Welcome Dinner in Buenos Aires you’ll enjoy a private tango performance.

Iguassu Falls, Brazil extension

After your Antarctica exploration, why not cross another incredible natural wonder off your bucket list, and add another country (Brazil) to your passport? Travel to spectacular Iguassu Falls National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of 275 thundering falls on the border of Brazil and Argentina. Second in size only to Victoria Falls, this series of cataracts once prompted Eleanor Roosevelt to take pity on her country’s most famous falls, saying “Poor Niagara!” as she gazed upon mighty Iguassu. The falls are all impressive, but the most spectacular is the Devil’s Throat, the 2,300-foot-long spectacle that separates Argentina and Brazil.

Easter Island extension

Treat yourself to a Polynesian island experience in the “navel of the world” on a pre-trip extension to Easter Island. This Chilean territory, locally known as Rapa Nui, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Easter Island is world-renowned as the one and only home of the mystifying moai statues. This extension is your opportunity to enhance your understanding of Polynesian culture. Encounter these mystical talismans up close and disentangle history from legend. Who created these statues and how? Whatever happened to Rapa Nui’s ancestors?

Ocean Explorer

Cruise on the Ocean Explorer, an agile and state-of-the-art expedition vessel that can navigate to places larger ships can’t

Bourbon Cataratas

This hotel is situated amid lush greenery along the road to the Iguassu Falls. After entering through the attractive lobby, you’ll find such on-site amenities as two restaurants and a lounge bar, gift shop, a health club and spa, two outdoor pools, a jogging track, a beauty parlor, elevator, and laundry and dry-cleaning services. The clean, modern guest rooms are air-conditioned, and feature a minibar, safe, telephone, cable/satellite television, hair dryer, and both 110v & 220v outlets.
