Fly to Ushuaia, Argentina / Embark ShipThis day has a recommended group flight. Join the recommended flight to Ushuaia; transfers to the airport and luggage assistance will be provided. Sandwiched between ice-mantled peaks and the frigid waters of Beagle Channel, this is a fittingly wild place to be known as “El Fin del Mundo” or “The End of the World.” Before departing, visit Tierra del Fuego National Park, clad in dense beech forest just as much of Antarctica was millions of years ago. Savor lunch onboard a private catamaran as you cruise the Channel, keeping an eye out for plump South American sea lions and sleek seabirds like the imperial cormorant. By day’s end, you’ll be comfortably on board your ship and ready to meet the White Continent. Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner |
| Day 3-4 |
At Sea Crossing the Drake PassageAt times ferocious, at others flat calm, this legendary 500-mile-wide strait divides South America from the Antarctic Peninsula. Feel the excitement build as you begin the crossing, often accompanied by seabirds like the wandering albatross and—if luck allows—a pod of killer whales or rare dolphins. Get to know the ship and prepare for the adventures ahead. Visit the Bridge (ideal for wildlife spotting), relax with a massage or attend a talk on the unique biology of penguins. Or simply settle into a comfy chair in the observation lounge, looking out over the waves as you contemplate the history of this passage named for English privateer Francis Drake, but first discovered by Spanish navigator Francisco de Hoces. Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner |
| Days 5-9 |
Exploring AntarcticaWith long hours of daylight at this time of year, you'll have ample opportunities to explore. The schedule is flexible, allowing us to take advantage of the unexpected, whether we’re watching whales at play off the bow of the ship, hiking alongside penguin highways or enjoying an evening Zodiac cruise amid porpoising penguins. While wildlife is magnificent, ice defines the Antarctic. You’ll get to know ice up close and personal—from icebergs the size of islands, bergy bits and near-vertical glaciers, to the fragile, nearly invisible layers that have just begun to freeze. One day, you might set out by kayak to encounter towering icebergs at water level; embark on a Zodiac excursion in search of seals and blue-eyed shags; or walk amid thousands of Adélie and gentoo penguins. The next, you might experience the thrill of the ship crunching through pack ice. Everywhere you go in Antarctica you'll be surrounded by opportunities to capture uniquely beautiful images. Along the way your expert expedition team will enrich your experiences. Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner |
| Day 10-11 |
At SeaEnjoy the ship’s amenities as the coast of Antarctica disappears from view. Round the southernmost tip of South America and see the meeting of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Take some time to go through your photos or send a message home to friends and family. Celebrate your voyage at a farewell dinner on board. Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner |
| Day 12 |
Ushuaia / Disembark Ship / Buenos Aires or SantiagoThis day has a recommended group flight. Disembark in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. Take the recommended flight to Buenos Aires or Santiago and connect with your flight home. Departure Time: Depart after 9:00 p.m. local time. Meals Included: Breakfast |

National Geographic Resolution
One of two new ships expressly built for polar waters, National Geographic Resolution is named to honor the second voyage of the legendary Captain James Cook. A fully-stabilized vessel with ice class PC5, Category A, she enables adventurous guests to go where few have or can.
Highlights
The sister ship to National Geographic Endurance, she explores polar and temperate regions
-
The ship's most striking exterior feature is her distinctive profile, the patented X-Bow®, a game-changing design that guarantees the smoothest, most comfortable ride in all kinds of conditions; and, since it eliminates bow impact, a quieter ride as well.
-
Scandinavian-inflected, luxuriously appointed, her inviting interiors would be a destination in themselves. Because she is a Lindblad expedition ship, however, her attention is focused on the world outside—with numerous large windows to keep you connected to the stunning views beyond the pane, and a fleet of expedition tools to get you out exploring.
- National Geographic Resolution's public spaces ensure that your time on board is as rewarding and enriching as your time on shore. Spaces include an observation lounge; library; main lounge with full service bar, 24-hour beverage station, and state-of-the-art tech for films/presentations; an expedition base with lockers for expedition gear; and open access to the Bridge, Captain, officers, and on-duty wildlife spotters. Restaurant 270° features wrap-around views; two other dining areas offer lighter, made-to-order fare or intimate, small group dinners. All feature sustainable choices and unassigned, flexible, inclusive seating.
