An unforgettable experience for avid adventurers, the White Continent is a world of its own, an inhospitable wilderness where wonderful wildlife, jaw-dropping landscapes, and gigantic icebergs reward the explorers who reach its shores. This cruise takes you there in the stylish luxury of the environmentally friendly Hurtigruten ship, MS Fridtjof Nansen; its restaurants, hot tubs, and relaxed atmosphere complementing a state-of-the art science centre and indoor / outdoor observation decks. In two weeks of exploration, what you see and exactly where you go will depend on the ocean, the ice, and the weather conditions, and on the whims of the wildlife, from whales to seals and penguins. However, the polar vessel’s pioneering design, its team of expedition guides, and its fleet of small launches to go ashore, all combine to let you delve into inlets and bays, to see the seabirds circling the islands, and to traverse the Drake Passage, its strong winds nicknamed The Roaring Fifties. The ship sails from Ushuaia, long recognised as the southernmost city on Earth; and the tour is bookended by the tempo of Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires, with its European look, Latin American rhythm, and ‘milonga’ tango shows.
The itinerary and activities during our Antarctica experience are dependent on weather and ice conditions.
The final route, landfalls and shore landings will be determined by the captain and expedition leader and communicated to guests through regularly scheduled briefings.
This is a full itinerary with many visits on foot including some uneven or slippery surfaces.
Some cruise excursions involve the use of zodiac boats and are subject to weather conditions.
Accommodation tax to be paid in Buenos Aires locally, currently 1.5 USD per person/per night (can be paid in USD or Pesos).
The new hybrid vessel, MS Fridtjof Nansen, is the newest addition to the fleet of HX Hurtigruten Expeditions and is at the forefront of sustainable exploration. The innovative technology reduces the ship's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 20%. The HX vessel holds the polar class 6 certification which is the highest ice class. The vessel has 265 cabins and a maximum capacity of 530 passengers. All cabins have a view of the ocean allowing you to behold the magnitude of the open waters and polar landscape.
