	HIGHLIGHTS: Ushuaia - Drake Passage - South Shetland Islands - Antarctica Over ten exciting days we'll introduce you to the best of the South Shetlands and Antarctic Peninsula. Prepare to be left awestruck as you get up close and personal with plenty of wildlife, including chinstrap penguins and maybe the occasional humpback whale sighting Day 1: Ushuaia Today is arrival day, and the adventure begins in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. Feel free to arrive at any time today. Arrival Transfers: Please note an arrival transfer from the airport is included in your voyage fare.

Accommodation: If you arrive earlier or wish to extend your stay and need accommodation please ask Peregrine or your agent for details and costs. Day 2: Ushuaia - Embarkation Day We'll set off on our journey late in the afternoon. Follow in the footsteps of famous visitors like Charles Darwin as you sail down the historic Beagle Channel. Keep your eyes on the deck for local inhabitants who might drop in, including seabirds, seals and dolphins. Day 3 - 4: Drake Passage It's always better to be prepared when crossing the Drake Channel. If you prepare for rough water, it will be a pleasant surprise if we get a smooth crossing The Drake is constantly chopping and changing so prepare for excitement over the next few days We'll spend our days here anticipating what's to come, and hopefully make our first landing in the South Shetlands on Day 4. Day 5 - 7: South Shetland Islands and Antarctica Animal lovers rejoice, this is a veritable playground for wildlife, and you'll get the chance to visit penguin rookeries, scout for humpback and minke whales, orcas and a number of the southern seal species, including the mighty leopard Seal. It is here that you'll feel our journey has really begun, as we leave the Antarctic Convergence in our wake. Twice a day we'll have the chance to leave the ship and explore bays, channels and landing sites and have your camera ready for wildlife at all times Orne Harbour is a fantastic place, where we get the chance to visit a chinstrap penguin colony high up on a ridge. There's something on offer for everyone, so if that's not your cup of tea why not take a hike or simply sit quietly on a pebbled beach as curious penguin chicks approach. Day 8 - 10: Drake Passage, Ushuaia The last leg of the journey takes us back across the Drake Passage. Take this time to scout for seabirds and whales from the deck, or attend presentations by our Expedition Team.
