Following in the wake of intrepid explorers like Amundsen, Scott and Shackleton, travel with us to experience the White Continent's majestic coastal scenery and abundant wildlife. Spend two nights in cosmopolitan Buenos Aires before boarding the deluxe M.S. LE DIAMANT in Ushuaia, and embarking on a journey of discovery to Earth's most pristine wilderness. In this seemingly harsh environment, a vast array of wildlife flourishes, including millions of penguins, thousands of seals and whales and countless seabirds. From spectacular volcanic topography and majestic glaciers to wildlife and the outposts of some of history's great explorers, Antarctica is a wonder you won't want to miss! Throughout the program, an expert team of naturalists will lead excursions on state-of-the-art Zodiacs and provide their insight into this region's unique ecosystem. Post-program option: Iguazú Falls.
