This is a VACAYA Luxe Gay Expedition Cruise, which means each of our Antarctic landings will be conducted via rubber Zodiac raft.

Plus, a specialty dinner menu, aptly named ALMA after the Portuguese word for “soul,” offers homestyle dishes just like they were cooked by grandma.

Day 1 - Buenos Aires, Argentina
Today, you’ll fly from one of the greatest cities in the world, Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Ushuaia (flight included). We recommend at least 3-4 days in Buenos Aires before you’ll catch your VACAYA flight down to Ushuaia to board World Navigator.
Boarding: 3 PM; Departure: 6 PM

Day 2 - Crossing the Drake Passage
Settle in and get ready for two extraordinary days crossing the Drake Passage. Seafarers have navigated these tricky waters for centuries and now you’ll follow in their footsteps as we make our way to the Antarctic Peninsula. Will we have the Drake Lake or the Drake Quake today? Only time (and sea conditions) will tell. But either way, today will be all about enjoying our ship, fellow adventurers, and preparing for our first steps on the continent.

Day 3 - Crossing the Drake Passage
Today, our Antarctic Expedition Team will lead in-depth lectures on science, history, biology, geography, geology, and culture to provide context to our voyage and help us understand the unique destination we’re about to experience. You’ll also learn how to make your visit as safe and as sustainable as possible. We’re getting close now and both the sea and the sky will change dramatically. Icebergs – both large and small – begin to appear and if we’re lucky, we’ll get to see lenticular clouds, which are only seen over Antarctica and are a true otherworldly sight to behold.

Day 4 - The Antrarctic Peninsula
So few people have had the opportunity to actually walk on Antarctica. Today, you make history by becoming one of the lucky few who’ve had the chance to explore this land of extremes. Antarctica never fails to inspire awe and wonder, with white horizons above oceans full of icebergs and whales. Perhaps even more awe-inspiring will be your encounters with the huge colonies of penguins.

Day 5 - The Antarctic Peninsula
Succumb to the magic of a place unlike any other. To this day, the mythical Antarctic Peninsula still holds real fascination and promises its visitors unforgettable moments. Throughout your adventure in this icy realm, you’ll find yourself surrounded in spectacular shades of blue and white, with exceptional wildlife all around you. Penguins, humpback whales, seals, and giant petrels are at home here, as are elephant seals, fur seals, Antarctic minke whales, and orcas.

Day 6 - The Antarctic Peninsula
World Navigator’s Captain decides where we go today. No matter where we land, you’re sure to see sights you’ve never seen before, and there’s no more humbling a feeling than that.

Day 7 - The Antarctic Peninsula
Our Expedition Team will lead ice-cruising and landings at every opportunity to come ashore and explore the impressive Antarctic scenery. From deck, there are great chances to spot whales. Of course, this is true wilderness, so nature is in charge, but our experienced Captain will work with the elements to create the best possible itinerary for our adventure.

Day 8 - The Antarctic Peninsula
Each day on the continent, we’ll attempt landings at several sites, with an aim to bring you the incredible diversity of landscapes and rich wildlife on display in this pristine wilderness. Think about this for one second… at times, you will be the first man, woman, or non-binary person in history to walk on that bit of earth. How’s that for life changing?

Day 9 - Our Final Day in Antarctica
Your entire view of our planet and of your place on it will have evolved completely by this day. Take in the wonder and the incredible beauty one last time.

Day 10 - Day at Sea!
After exploring this exhilarating continent, we set course back to civilization. Spend the day at sea recapping your experiences, having fun onboard, or just relaxing on deck, spotting the many sea birds which follow our ship.

Day 11 - Sea Day Back to Ushuaia
Our final sea day is your last chance to swap photos and stories with fellow Vacayan adventurers. Take in all you’ve experienced one last time as we prepare to say goodbye to World Navigator and feel the spirit of this wondrous place. It will stick with you for all time.

Day 12 - Ushuaia / Buenos Aires, Argentina
Today, our journey together comes to an end as we all fly from Ushuaia to Buenos Aires (flight included). From there, there’s no telling where you’ll go!
Buenos Aires is one of the world’s great cities and we highly recommend staying a few extra days to discover this on your own if you didn’t explore before our cruise. If you’re flying home from BA today, we recommend long-haul flights in the evening.

The Super Yacht Advantage

If you’ve ever wanted to explore the world in style in a friendly and intimate setting, VACAYA Luxe’s small-ship voyages have distinct advantages over their big-ship counterparts. Super yachts gracefully dock in quaint harbors that bulkier oceangoing vessels simply can’t access. The ability to call in ports of all sizes allows for more intriguing itineraries. Small ships also tend to stay longer (including overnights) and dock closer to town, giving you more time to explore. There are no crowds to beat, so you can see places at their most pleasant and authentic.

Lifelong Connections

One of the advantages of a small ship is that our guests get to experience these life-changing, bucket-list destinations with like-minded adults, including our V Team and cruise line crew. While our returning guests see familiar faces and continue to strengthen existing bonds, new guests report that our community is the most welcoming at sea (or on land). At the end of each trip in our guest satisfaction survey, we ask guests to report whether they made a new friend on their vacation. So, we actually have the data to back this up!
