Early morning arrival back in Ushuaia 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 are in need of a few days' rest before returning home.

Luxury Antarctica Peninsula cruise
Argentina and Antarctica
If you want to sail to Antarctica in luxury you are no longer limited to the huge cruise ships carrying hundreds of passengers. You can now sail on expedition ships with around one hundred passengers in total, allowing you to not only travel in serious comfort but also to enjoy as many landings as you would on other expedition vessels. We have based this itinerary on a trip on the Silver Explorer, using an Explorer Suite. There are less expensive cabins on this ship (and others) and, of course, there are more expensive.
