Quark Expeditions Ultramarine Antarctica Cruise

Stylish and elegant, the Emperador Hotel, Buenos Aires is the ideal sanctuary for you to unwind and relax after your flight; you've got an exciting adventure ahead so will need to rest-up and prepare! Featuring a heated indoor swimming pool and a sumptuous restaurant and bar, you'll really feel rejuvenated by the end of your one night here. 

Your home for the next 10 nights, Quark Expeditions' Ultramarine is both luxurious and comfortable, boasting stylish interiors and a wide range of facilities. With a rejuvenating spa, its own helicopter and a yoga studio, you can expect only the very best during your stay. 

Raw and wild, Antarctica is an environment that will astound and captivate all who visit, its vast ice sheets and sublime mountain peaks unveiling a world that is unlike anything you will have ever seen before. 

No two trips to Antarctica are the same, with the varying weather conditions meaning that there can never be a set schedule on board. During your time visiting the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula, you'll have the opportunity to experience activities such as guided shore excursions, snow shoeing, penguin spotting, whale watching, and ice camping. Make sure you bring your camera, as you'll have the chance to encounter fascinating creatures such as albatrosses, leopard seals and gentoo penguins. 

As you begin your return to Ushuaia, you'll enjoy three more nights aboard the Ultramarine whilst you recross Drake Passage. With daily presentations given by the Expedition Team, you'll have the chance to reflect on what you've seen during your time on this remote continent, whilst learning more about the region's rich biodiversity. Keep an eye out on the water as you may have the chance to see humpback whales and orcas as they feed during the summer months.
