Day 1 - Buenos Aires
Latin passion and European romance define the beautiful Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, a dynamic city known for its wide-ranging architectural styles, contemporary and historical arts, and culinary experiences.
Seamlessly transfer to the cruise terminal in Buenos Aires where your journey into wonder begins with a warm greeting from the Captain and crew as you board your Scenic Discovery Yacht. Sip on a glass of Champagne and explore your luxurious suite, then join your fellow guests at the Sky Bar to toast the start of an unforgettable voyage.
Please book your flight to arrive into Buenos Aires prior to 02:00 PM.
Day 2-4 - At Sea
As you cruise south, wildlife spotting opportunities abound. Your expert Discovery Team will be with you out on the deck looking for albatrosses, prions, and petrels that follow the ship. Use the complimentary binoculars you’ll find in your suite or head to the Swarovski telescopes on the Observation Terrace.
Day 5-6 - Falkland Islands
Considered one of the wonders of the far Southern Hemisphere, the Falkland Islands overflow with natural beauty. The windswept green hills and clear waters lapping the white sand beaches could be mistaken for a much more tropical location.
Over the next few days, you will explore these spectacular islands. You may call at the historic capital, Stanley, which has a distinctly British feel, right down to its cosy pubs and elegant Christ Church Cathedral. West Point Island is another potential landing site, famed for its vast cliffside colony of black-browed albatross, as is Rookery Point, home to thousands of breeding pairs of penguins.
These remote and sparsely populated islands are a wildlife lover’s paradise. The world’s largest population of Gentoo penguins is found here, in addition to King, Magellanic and Rockhopper penguins, and vast numbers of shearwaters and petrels. Fur and elephant seals roam sandy beaches, while the surrounding waters are home to whales and dolphins.
Day 7-8 At Sea
Today, sample some of the extraordinary dining experiences on your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht. Start with breakfast at the Yacht Club. For lunch, Azure Bar & Café serves light meals, pizza and salads that are available for grazing throughout the day. In the evening, dine around the world with Asian fare at Sushi* @ Koko’s or Night Market* @ Koko’s or indulge in fine French dining at Lumière*.
Day 9-12 South Georgia
After arriving in the morning, your next few days in South Georgia will introduce you to its striking landscapes, abundant wildlife and fascinating human legacy.
In the coming days you may land at Fortuna Bay, home to King Penguins, Antarctic fur seals, elephant seals, brown skuas, giant petrels and Antarctic terns. At the settlement of Grytviken you can pay your respects at the grave of explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and see the rusting remnants of an old whaling station. Other potential landing sites include Saint Andrews Bay, known for its huge breeding colony of King penguins, and Gold Harbour, a dramatic bay with abundant King penguins and elephant seals.
Discovery: Explore by Zodiac, kayak or stand-up paddleboard with possible shore landings (weather and ice permitting). To further discover South Georgia book a submersible^ experience.
Day 13-14 At Sea
After days of exploration, take a moment to yourself this morning in your luxuriously appointed suite. Enjoy a well-deserved sleep in and ask your butler to bring you a late breakfast and a barista-made coffee.
If you haven’t had time to visit the bridge yet, be sure to do so today.
Day 15-19 Antarctica
Arriving in Antarctica for the first time is unlike anything you have experienced before. Due to the extraordinary nature of the region, your itinerary is open and dependent on the ice and weather conditions.
During your voyage we may have the opportunity to visit various locations over the following days. Such as visit Deception Island, one of the only places in the world that ships can sail directly into the centre of a submerged caldera of an active volcano. Another highlight is Brown Bluff, a stunning ice-capped volcanic cliff towering above a large Adelie penguin rookery. Additionally, you could take a Zodiac cruise past the breathtaking Devil Island or go ashore at Telefon Bay to see penguins, seabirds and seals.
At the heart of your Antarctic voyage is the Discovery Team of up to 20 leading polar experts with diverse qualifications, from science to geology, botany, history, photography, marine biology and glaciology. They will answer your most curious questions and be with you throughout every moment of your journey.
For a truly unique and exclusive experience, add a helicopter excursion^ to visit Snow Hill Island, one of only two Emperor penguin colonies of its kind in the Peninsula. Departing by helicopter from your Discovery Yacht in the Weddell Sea, you’ll land on Snow Hill Island and walk 1.5 kilometres with your Discovery Team to see the colony. The Emperor penguins are only present at this location at the start of the Antarctica season and there are only a couple of voyages with this experience.
Remarkable wildlife encounters await during your time in Antarctica. Going ashore to visit a penguin colony is an unforgettable experience. Watch the sea for humpback, blue, fin and minke whales, as well as the distinctive black and white orcas.
Be sure to pack your swimming costume, because you could be going for a swim. For many, the polar plunge is a once in a lifetime opportunity and a rite of passage for an expedition to Antarctica.
Discovery: Explore by Zodiac, kayak or stand-up paddleboard with possible shore landings (weather and ice permitting). To see Antarctica from above or below the horizon book a helicopter^ or a submersible^ experience.
Day 20-21 At Sea
Crossing the Drake Passage back to the southern tip of South America, reflect on the magic of the Southern Ocean and the life that calls it home.
If you haven’t had time to visit the bridge yet, be sure to do so today. Learn more about the technical abilities of The World’s First Discovery Yacht and see it in full operation. The bridge is also one of the best viewing areas on the Discovery Yacht.
Day 22 Ushuaia -> Buenos Aires
Your voyage ends this morning as you farewell the crew and fellow guests. Disembark after breakfast in Ushuaia, Argentina for your included transfer flight to Buenos Aires where your journey concludes, taking away memories of a truly unforgettable experience.
