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 ~ Feb 14  Arrival Day

This is basically an arrival day.  So you can land by today or earlier, and tonight’s hotel room is provided by Swan.

Day 1 ~ Feb 15  Fly to Ushuaia

It’ll be an early morning flight, but Swan will take us to the airport, fly us to Ushuaia, pick us up in Ushuaia, short time to wander in Ushuaia before boarding… and then we’re off!

Day 2-3 ~ Feb 16 – 17 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 snowshoeing, and the expedition staff will have information presentations!

Day 4-7 ~ Feb 18-21

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 snowshoe!

Day 8-9 ~ Feb 22-23

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!

Day 10 ~ Feb 24

Back in Ushuaia, and Swan 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 20% of the total, so that will vary depending on room type.  After that, money follows the cancellation schedule of a $300 fee for anything cancelled before Oct 18, 2025.  A fee of 20% (deposit amount) for anything cancelled between Oct 18 and Nov 16, 2025.  And a fee of 75% for anything cancelled between Nov 17, 2025 and Dec 16, 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 Oct 18, 2025. Or you can chunk it every few months. Or can do a monthly payment. Very flexible. Payments are collected by Swan and remain with Swan, so again your money is safe!

What’s Included?

Pretty much as soon as you check into the hotel on Feb 14 to the airport in Buenos Aires on Feb 24, everything is included!  There are things you can add, but nothing you have to pay for.

Accommodations are included. The Prenight is usually the Sofitel or Alvear Palace.  I stayed at the Sofitel!

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! My fave part of the room is the fireplace!

Food is included once you’re on board.  You can check out my Swan Hellenic 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.

Snowshoe is a new offering for them at $150!  I haven’t done it before, so I’d for sure try!

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!

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 if you come on arrival day, and not if you come early.  But it’s only like $25 to get from airport to city.
