Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Buenos Aires

   Argentina

   

   Twice-founded and once the wealthiest city in Latin America, Buenos Aires seduces with the world-class acoustics of the Teatro Colón, the ritual theatre of a wood-fire asado at a San Telmo parrilla, and the cobblestoned milongas where tango was born and where it burns still. Cross the estuary to UNESCO-listed Colonia del Sacramento or head south toward the glaciers of Patagonia. As South America's premier cruise hub for Antarctic expeditions and round-the-continent voyages, the city is most inviting from November through March.

    Antarctic Peninsula

    Antarctica

    

    The Antarctic Peninsula, that dramatic arc of rock and ice reaching toward South America, remains one of Earth's last true wildernesses — governed by international treaty and unchanged since the heroic age of Shackleton and Amundsen. Towering glaciers calve icebergs the size of cathedrals into mirror-calm fjords; colonies of hundreds of thousands of penguins line volcanic black-sand beaches; humpback whales breach at improbable distances from Zodiac boats. November through March is the expedition season, with peak wildlife encounters from December to February. A voyage here is not merely travel — it is a transformation, a reckoning with scale and silence that stays with you for life.
