Itinerary
This is the basic itinerary, but we can also add some stuff before or after for you! Let me know if you want to come early or stay late!
Day 0 ~ Dec 27 Arrival Day
This is basically an arrival day. So you can land by today or earlier, and tonight’s hotel room is provided by Atlas.
Day 1 ~ Dec 28 Fly to Ushuaia
It’ll be an early morning flight, but Atlas will take us to the airport, fly us to Ushuaia, pick us up in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego tour, short time to wander in Ushuaia before boarding… and then we’re off!
Day 2-3 ~ Dec 29 – 30 Drake Passage
It takes about 2 days to cross the Drake! With medication, and at this time of year, should be smooth sailing! During these two days, we learn about biosecurity, about the excursions like kayaking and camping, and the expedition staff will have information presentations!
Day 4- 10 ~ Dec 31 – Jan 5 Crossing the Cirlce and Antarctica
Then the main event! Weather depending, but we get off twice a day! The exact stops aren’t known because it always depends on the weather. But we’ll either get off for a zodiac cruise, or a walk on land! You can also sign up for optional extras like Kayaking or paddleboarding! They are shooting to cross the Antarctic Circle on New Year’s Eve, but everything is weather dependent!
Day 11-12 ~ Jan 6 – 7 Back on the Drake
Back across the Drake! More info presentations or hanging out! Time to sort through all those pictures you took! Or hang out in the hot tub! Or some light exercise!
Day 10 ~ Jan 8 Departure Day
Back in Ushuaia, and Atlas takes us back to airport, and flies us back to Buenos Aires! After that, is up to you! You can fly home while you’re already there, fly somewhere else, or stay in Buenos Aires a bit longer!
Deposit
The deposit is $1000. After that, money follows the cancellation schedule of a $250 fee for anything cancelled before Aug 30, 2025. A fee of 25% for anything cancelled by Sept 28, 2025. A fee of 50% for anything cancelled by Oct 13, 2025. And a fee of 75% for anything cancelled by Nov 23, 2025 . No refunds after that point, it would have to be handled by travel insurance.
Payments
After deposit, the payments are up to you! You can wait until full payment is due on Aug 30, 2025. Or you can chunk it every few months. Or can do a monthly payment. Very flexible. Payments are collected by Atlas and remain with Atlas, so again your money is safe!
What’s Included?
Pretty much as soon as you check into the hotel on Dec 27 to the airport in Buenos Aires on Jan 8, everything is included! There are things you can add, but nothing you have to pay for.
Accommodations are included. The Prenight is usually the Intercontinental or the Hilton. I stayed at the Hilton!
Then the room on board is included and priced on a double occupancy rate. If you need help being matched with someone, let me know! I think the rooms are beautiful!
Food is included once you’re on board. You can check out my Atlas review if you want to see more!
Optional Extras
Kayaking is offered at $250, and I highly recommend it! I did it if you want to read about my experience.
Camping is also an offering for them at $750! I’ve also done camping, if you’d like to read about that.
Perks of Coming with Me!
Well, besides really terrible puns and my forever-long list of fun facts I’ll randomly share… But I like to think I’m a pretty good photographer! I’ve got my fun 360 camera that takes epic pics like these (from Antarctica)
So you’re welcome to the pics that I take of landscapes and us, but I’m also willing to help you take silly and fun pics of yourself. For example, I sometimes bring a fun skirt for quick photoshoots! Just pops on over other clothes and takes no time at all! And yes, I did this in Antarctica too over my snow pants!
Anyone who comes, also gets a copy of my Antarctica Journal and bonus stickers!
My group is also at a discount from the public price and comes with On board credit that others don’t get!
And of course, because I’m a travel agent, and I’ve traveled a lot… I’ll take care of everything! All you need to do is show up and everything is handled! I’ll help with flights, insurance, packing list, and anything else you need! Also here are some testimonials 🙂
Flights
International flights aren’t included, but happy to help you find a good flight price. I do have access to a vendor with discounted business class flights which ocassionally has a good deal. But either way, I can help you book or find flights as needed. The flights within Argentina are included though.
Airport transfers
Included for the domestic flights, but not international. But it’s only like $25 to get from airport to city.
