Welcome to Ushuaia, where your Antarctic adventure begins. Arrive into the city any time today, and transfer to the group hotel (accommodation for the night is included). Spend the day getting to know this quirky little city, the southernmost in the world.

Notes: If you arrive earlier or wish to extend your stay and need accommodation, please ask Peregrine or your agent for details and costs.

After breakfast at the hotel, the morning is yours to explore further. Emarkation will take place in the afternoon. The ship makes its way into the historic Beagle Channel, which transects the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. The channel takes its name from the HMS Beagle, which transported Charles Darwin through the region on his around-the-world voyage in 1833. Keep an eye out for various species of bird from the deck.

If conditions are favourable, we hope to be approaching South Georgia this afternoon. Have your camera ready to capture shags, prions and albatross in the water around you. Enjoy the excitement on the ship this evening as everyone looks forward to memorable landings tomorrow.

Arrive into Ushuaia in the morning after breakfast. Disembarkation will take place at approximately 9am.
