APT launches first expedition cruise to Antarctica

The 15-day Antarctic Voyage, which is now open for bookings, will depart on 3 February 2024 and will combine three nights in Buenos Aires with a 10-night cruise to Antarctica aboard Le Boreal.

Prices start from £14,570 per person, including all internal flights within South America and a private return APT charter flight from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia.

The cruise will feature Zodiac expeditions visiting penguin rookeries, seal colonies and look for orca, humpback and minke whales.

Meanwhile in Buenos Aires, guests will be offered a locally guided city tour, as well as the choice to explore the city’s street art culture, discover the Parisian character of the city’s architecture, or tour the Teatro Colon opera house.

In Ushuaia, guests will be able to tour Tierra del Fuego National Park and experience the “rugged natural beauty of Argentina’s southern tip”, APT said.
