Let us take you on a fantastic voyage of discovery to the world's last great wilderness, once the preserve of intrepid pioneers and explorers such as Sir Ernest Shackleton, in honour of whom this exciting journey is named.
DAY 1 UK/BUENOS AIRES Depart on your overnight flight to Buenos Aires. DAY 2 BUENOS AIRES Arrive in Buenos Aires and transfer to your hotel for an overnight stay. You will enjoy a tour of the city en route. The capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires is considered to be the most elegant city in South America. You will see such famous sights as Plaza de Mayo, the La Boca District, renowned for its brightly painted houses and the Recoleta cemetery, famous for its beautiful family tombs and the burial place of Eva Peron. DAY 3 BUENOS AIRES Board MS Fram for the start of your cruise of Antarctica in the footsteps of Sir Ernest Shackleton. DAYS 4 TO 6 CRUISING AT SEA DAYS 7 & 8 FALKLAND ISLANDS Consisting of two main islands and around 700 smaller ones, the Falkland Islands are found just 300 miles from the coast of Argentina. Take the opportunity to join our shore excursions that will introduce you to the variety of wildlife on the islands. DAYS 9 & 10 CRUISING AT SEA DAYS 11 & 12 SOUTH GEORGIA South Georgia, like the Falkland Islands, is a British Overseas territory. One of the places you can visit during your time here is Grytviken Whaling Station, where you
will find the grave of Sir Ernest Shackleton, who died aboard his ship just off the coast in 1922. There will also be plenty of opportunity to view the incredible range of wildlife found here from seals and penguins to astounding bird life. DAYS 13 & 14 CRUISING AT SEA DAYS 15 TO 17 ANTARCTICA Discover the mysterious `white continent' as you experience this spectacular and pristine landscape for yourself. There will be plenty of opportunity for you to visit penguin colonies, see the majestic icebergs float by, watch seals basking in the sun and maybe spot passing whales. You'll also learn more about Shackleton and other intrepid polar explorers such as Captain Robert F. Scott and Roald Amundsen. Visit old abandoned whaling stations or research stations manned by scientists, cruise past idyllic bays filled with ice and admire the majestic landscapes to be found at every turn. DAYS 18 & 19 DRAKE PASSAGE Leaving the Antarctic Peninsula behind, return northwards to the southern tip of Argentina, crossing Drake Passage.
