Itinerary

Day 1Ushuaia

Although its nickname the “End of the World” – derived from its location along the southernmost tip of South America among the Tierra del Fuego archipelago – Ushuaia is far from the end of any adventure. Where the Andes meet the Beagle Channel and the snow-capped Martial Mountains sit behind a sprawling city of colorful buildings, lies a lively town ready and waiting to take you on the thrill ride of a lifetime. Scenes like Parque Yatana give you the chance to immerse yourself in the rich, indigenous culture.

Day 2Drake Passage Navigation

Navigating the intrepid Drake Passage is made for the boldest of explorers. Petrels and albatrosses that glide across the skies guide the way. To witness its awesome power makes the journey to Antarctica all the more triumphant.

The Drake Passage leads you from the southernmost region of the Americas to the Antarctic Peninsula, the northern point of The White Continent. This waterway where cold southern ocean meets warm northern sea water creates powerful currents that test your mettle.

But the rewards for the journeyer that braves these waters do not compare. The meeting of warm and cold waters creates an environment that attracts extraordinary wildlife. Drake Passage offers the chance to witness the likes of humpback whales and hourglass dolphins that accompany the voyage. The soundtrack of the 48-hour journey through the Drake Passage includes the crash of the ocean against the ship and the cry of petrels, skuas, and gulls.

While the waterway is famous for its challenging navigation, you may still get another side of the Drake Passage. On some occasions, the channel is calm and tranquil, making for a pleasant voyage into Antarctica. That’s one of the more splendid characteristics of the Drake Passage – you never know what you will get.

As you emerge from the Drake Passage, the mammoth, icy peaks of the South Shetland Islands loom ahead, greeting you on your victorious landing. You have completed the rite of passage to explore the seventh continent.

Day 3Exploring Antarctica

Nicknamed The White Continent for its vast expanse of icebergs, snow and glaciers, Antarctica is often the final frontier for experienced explorers to conquer. As you navigate Antarctic waters, you may set foot on sites like Beak Island, Brown Bluff, Cierva Cove, Hidden Bay and many more. Each landing throughout the continent offers its own unique landscape, from expansive tundra to rugged mountain peaks, all beckoning you to follow the paths that few explorers have trekked before.
CAPTAIN’S CHOICE – Captain’s Choice ports of call add to the sense of adventure and an element of surprise. Your ship’s captain will sail around changing weather conditions as needed and take you to the best areas for wildlife viewing.

Day 4Crossing Antarctic Circle

As you make the voyage across the Antarctic Circle at the 66th parallel, you become a “Red Nose,” one of the select few who navigate deep into the frontier of The White Continent to make the crossing. It is a feeling of triumph that cannot be beat.

Day 5-10Exploring Antarctica- Captain’s Choice

Nicknamed The White Continent for its vast expanse of icebergs, snow and glaciers, Antarctica is often the final frontier for experienced explorers to conquer. As you navigate Antarctic waters, you may set foot on sites like Beak Island, Brown Bluff, Cierva Cove, Hidden Bay and many more. Each landing throughout the continent offers its own unique landscape, from expansive tundra to rugged mountain peaks, all beckoning you to follow the paths that few explorers have trekked before.

  • Everything was beyond my wildest expectations and I am so glad that I decided to come along. I came for so many reasons that I was bound to have a great experience – the animals, the science, the isolation and beauty, and of course Shackleton. My view is that it was the journey that mattered – life is too short to focus on ticking off a specific box, rather than look at the big picture. It all delivered!

    I’m sitting here looking out the window at this glorious view of the Beagle Channel on my last morning here in Ushuaia and I didn’t want to leave here without touching base and saying thanks again for providing such a marvelous adventure for all!

    Lisa McCarthy
  • Thank you Ice Tracks for the most memorable trip of my life. I’ve travelled the globe a good deal but this trip to Antarctica on the Akademik Sergey Vavilov, following in the tracks of Sir Ernest Shackleton a century ago, will live in my heart and my memory for ever. The landscape and wildlife were magical beyond anything I could have imagined. Our Russian ship was spotlessly clean and comfortable, and our guides were fun, knowledgeable and super-competent.  I learned such a lot from the expertise of the wild life experts on board – not to mention the resident photographers. The pictures I took throughout the voyage are now among my most prized possessions. The on-board presentations were all fascinating; we even had the privilege of watching a life size bust of Sir Ernest Shackleton gradually materialize at the hands of a talented sculptor as we sailed on down to the ‘Big Ice’. The organization of the whole voyage was superb. I’m saving up to get Ice Tracks to take me to the Arctic next.

  • We are struggling for words to describe what an amazing adventure we have had and all thanks to you at Ice Tracks. The Iguazu Falls, Puerto Bemberg and Del Socorro were brilliant for the wildlife and scenery, but we topped that with South Georgia and setting foot on The Peninsula was the icing on the cake.
    Well done Ice Tracks, we cannot thank you enough and are looking forward to our next adventure with you.
    Thank you for your patience with our ‘little concerns’. Thank you for organising this trip for us. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share such a magnificent journey with you. Thank you for being yourself, you have opened our eyes.

  • We loved it. Could not have been better and we were hugely well looked after. Everything perfect … Nothing to improve and wonderful people on board. Thank you for everything and salaams and thanks to all who laboured so hard to make sure we enjoyed every second. Long in our memories.

    Ice Tracks was honoured to have had on board such an accomplished couple like Jennifer and Simon who have achieved a Guiness record on the Polar and travel adventure fields. He is the oldest person to have reached the South Pole on skis unsupported and she is the first person to have circumnavigated the globe on helicopter from Pole to Pole.

  • A very big thank you to the entire Ice Tracks team for organizing such an unbelievable trip. Right from request for Visa documents, travel information, tracking the flight arrangements, the pickups and drops to the expedition itself went like clockwork. Your attention to detail to ensure that every member of your team was well looked after was immaculate. All the staff on the ship spared no efforts to make sure of the safety and comfort of everyone and put together such a wonderful expedition. Once again thank you Caro, Angie and Cris for making a dream vacation come true.

  • I would find it hard to find fault with any aspect of my recent trip to Falklands, S Georgia and Antarctica. The whole trip was simply outstanding and far exceeded all my expectations. They say dreams don’t come true but Angie, Caro and Cris together with the whole team worked their magic and fulfilled many dreams for me. Thank you to you all for your unending kindness, patience, enthusiasm and knowledge. Nothing was ever too much trouble for you and you were always willing to help and give advice. I will be back!

  • I just want to say a very big “thank you” to all of you for being so caring and attentive. Right from the start when I asked if you could help me to make a trip to Iguazu, everything went smoothly. On arrival in Ushuaia, I couldn’t believe the fabulous hotel we stayed in with such a beautiful setting and the commemorative dinner on the first evening which was so special and which gave all the Ice Trackers a chance to meet. The whole trip was excellent and the Ice Tracks contribution added another dimension and really made people think about Shackleton and his comrades and what they must have gone through a century ago.

    Christine Duthie - England
  • I just want to say the most enormous THANK YOU for putting together a trip that none of us will ever forget, and I know I speak for Spencer too, and everyone else I came across. You took such infinite trouble to make the trip interesting and packed with activity and action, and I think many new friendships were forged.

  • Angie and Caro, thank you both hugely for the opportunity to take part in the Shackleton Centenary Voyage. I could not have asked for a better group of pax, ship, crew and expedition team.

    Of course meeting you guys who put the whole thing together was a privilege and it’s wonderful to see you realising people’s lifelong dreams. There were so many highlights but King Haakon Bay was a standout for me.

    Peter travelled with Ice Tracks to Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica for the Shackleton Centenary Voyage

    Do we share your personal information?

    We will share your personal information with airlines and our suppliers in order for us and them to fulfil your booking requirements.

    Additionally where your holiday is outside the European Economic Area (EEA), controls on data protection in your destination may not be as strong as the legal requirements in this country. We will not however, pass any information on to any person not responsible for part of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive information that you give to us for example medical or dietary information. (If we cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, we cannot provide your booking. In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons).

    We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information. The personal information we collect is held on our UK servers and we have measures in place to prevent any unauthorised access. We limit access to personal data, especially where this may be sensitive information. We use secure methods to ensure personal information is protected when we transmit it to other organisations, for the purposes of fulfilling a request and or a holiday booking.

    How long we keep personal information

    We only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the requests and booking you have made with us. Many of our customers return to book future holidays, we do therefore store a minimal amount of information for longer, so we can provide a good customer service for you. We may also keep personal information for essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations or resolving disputes. As our requirements can vary, our retention periods reflect this.
