You will enter the Drake Passage at around 2am and spend the day making your way across this notorious stretch of water. Surprisingly, the wildlife spotting on the way can be amazing, with wandering albatross, Wilson's petrel and even blue whales possible.

Arrive back in Ushuaia early in the morning and transfer to the airport for a flight to Buenos Aires, where you will spend the night. We have kept this itinerary short, but we would also recommend that, if you have time, you head out to an estancia to relax for a day or two. Trips to Antarctica can be hard work as you are constantly on the move, and lots of people need a few days' rest before returning home.
