Celebrate a Christmas like no other riding a
Zodiac inflatable across the glassy waters of Paradise Bay. Prefaced by last-minute shopping in Buenos Aires and a frontier-town farewell as you slip out of Ushuaia on the fringes of Tierra del Fuego, youll point your compass to Antarctica and its wildlife. Rounding the Horn, our festive cruise wraps up amid the peaks and plains of Patagonia.

Chilean islands dot Discoverys route, giant jigsaw pieces of green giving way to white creaking glaciers and towering ice cliffs. Reaching for Antarctica, crescent bays lead to disused whaling stations, giant corridors of ice to secret WWII hideouts. All around, the sheer variety of wildlife will fill your senses. Led by our guides, history, science and nature come together in unique, dramatic style.
DIS081229 Date Port Arrive Depart
The contrasts of Hope Bay and Deception Island herald the beauty of Antarctica and echo with age-old tales of dogged whalers. Tucked between the village feel of Buenos Aires La Boca district and Santiagos brazen skyscrapers are the towering granite peaks of Torres del Paine National Park, waters once tamed by giant clippers, and the Alpine chalets and charms of Chiles Lake District.
