16 Night Cruise sailing from Ushuaia roundtrip aboard Fram.

Join us on an epic voyage to Antarctica via the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. Enjoy the diverse wildlife, friendly faces, and haunting scenery of these South Atlantic islands as we make our way to the Great White Continent, Antarctica.

DAY 1 Ushuaia

Embark MS Fram from 16:00, ready to depart from the province of Tierra del Fuego shortly afterwards.

DAY 2 At sea

Acquaint yourself with the ship and your fellow travellers, follow our on board lecture series, enjoy the fresh air out on deck or simply relax in our panorama lounge as we make our way south.

DAY 3 The Falkland Islands

Thanks to a unique sub-Antarctic ecosystem, more than 70 animal and bird species live on these islands. The landscape is majestic, with cliffs and gentle beaches. Despite their surroundings, however, the settlements have a typical British atmosphere.

DAY 4 - 5 At sea

On our way to South Georgia we will learn more about the history and the spectacular wildlife of the island known as the Serengeti of the Southern Ocean.

DAY 6 - 9 South Georgia

The alpine-peaked island of South Georgia has a variety and density of wildlife that will overwhelm even the most blase visitor. The largest King penguin colonies in the world are flanked by groups of fur and elephant seals. The history of South Georgia is evident - you will experience long-abandoned whaling stations and the poignant highlight for many a visitor, the grave of Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton.

On this particular voyage we are spending more time than usual on the island. We will hear the stories from people with strong bonds to South Georgia and celebrate this extra special Christmas together in Grytviken, the island's main town.

DAY 10 - 11 At sea

You set sail for the southernmost continent and en route learn more about this fascinating white land through educational lectures.

DAY 12 - 14 Antarctica

When you believe you have seen it all, Antarctica will make you think again. The last untouched place on Earth, with its crisp air, icebergs and endless, white mountain ranges, this continent is dedicated to science and peace. We will concentrate on exploring the areas around the Antarctic
Sound and the South Shetland Islands where we hope to find everything from giant Weddell Sea tabular icebergs to volcanic islands and large penguin rookeries.
The ice, wind and weather dictate life in Antarctica as well as our route. Every voyage is unique and our experienced crew will give you the experience of a lifetime. The final choice of landings will be made in the course of the voyage.

DAY 15 - 16 Drake Passage

With our bow pointed north and a collection of unforgettable images and experiences in our memories, our sturdy MS Fram takes us safely back across the famous Drake Passage.

DAY 17 Ushuaia

After a spectacular voyage with countless impressions, we dock at the world's southernmost town once more.
