Iconic Antarctica Expedition Cruise - The Explorer's Route (MS Roald Amundsen)
A fly-cruise from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia for a longer Antarctic Peninsula programme: nine days landing among gentoo, chinstrap and Adelie penguin colonies, leopard seals and migrating whales, bracketed by the Drake Passage crossing each way. HX's own text singles out the chance to spot Antarctic seabirds and to sail past 'cathedral-sized icebergs'. Returns to Ushuaia and flies back to Buenos Aires.
