DAY 1
In Ushuaia, Argentina, we will embark on the “Grigory Mikheev” and we will sail across the Beagle Channel towards the Chilean town of Puerto Williams, before setting sail southwards.

DAY 2 to 3
We will wake up in front of mythical Cape Horn, and should the weather permit it, we will put our Zodiac boats into the water to visit the most legendary island in the world. Back on board, we will start the adventurous crossing of the waters named in honour of Sir Francis Drake, the Drake Passage, escorted by Black Browed Albatrosses and Southern Giant Petrels. We invite you to enjoy the lectures given by our Antarctic experts, and to gaze and search the sea on the lookout for Humpback and Minke whales swimming on their way down to Antarctica.

DAY 4
The time has come to spot the first icebergs! The South Shetland Islands will finally come into sight and in the afternoon, we will have the chance to make our first landing. Exploration will continue all evening, thanks to the endless daylight.

DAY 5
Upon reaching King George Island, we will visit the Chilean Frei Base and the Russian Base Bellingshausen. We will gather at the aerodrome where we will board the flight that will take us to Punta Arenas, Chile
