Antarctica & South America Cruise from Buenos Aires

For a truly magical experience, set sail for the Great White Continent. Your 14-day Antarctic cruise adventure begins in the bustling metropolis of Buenos Aires. Stroll through the streets of La Boca and take in a tango show before embarking on your journey south. Stop in Puerto Madryn and visit Punta Tombo Nature Reserve, then sail toward Punta Arenas, the southernmost capital city in Chile. This sprawling city at the bottom of the Americas serves as the gateway to Antarctica.

Dock for a day in Ushuaia, Argentina, affectionately known as the end of the world for its location at the southernmost tip of South America. Then, make your way into the icy waters surrounding Antarctica. Whilst Norwegian ships don't dock at the ice-choked continent, you'll get an up-close look at the chinstrap penguins on Deception Island and the elephant seals of the aptly named Elephant Island from your balcony or the ship's upper deck. Cap off your journey with visits to the Falkland Islands and Uruguay before returning to Buenos Aires.
