Highlights
Experience Antarctica in its fullest form on this extraordinary 16-day all-inclusive expedition, featuring round-trip flights from Buenos Aires and nine full days exploring the White Continent. Journey beyond the standard Antarctic Peninsula routes to discover the South Shetland Islands, Antarctic Sound, the Weddell Sea, Gerlache Strait and Penola Strait, with opportunities to visit some of the region’s most remote and wildlife-rich locations. HX Expeditions has designed this itinerary for travellers seeking the ultimate Antarctic adventure. This immersive voyage combines flexible expedition cruising with unforgettable wildlife encounters. Watch whales, seals and vast penguin colonies in their natural habitat, marvel at towering glaciers and sculpted icebergs, and explore by kayak, snowshoes or small expedition boats to experience Antarctica up close. With more time ashore and in the destination than many traditional voyages, every day offers new discoveries guided by HX’s expert Expedition Team. You’ll gain deeper insights into Antarctic history, wildlife and science through onboard lectures and hands-on exploration. This is the ultimate Antarctic expedition for those who want to venture further, stay longer and experience the wonders of the frozen continent on a truly unforgettable scale
