Expedition overview & highlights

  • Sail the legendary Drake Passage, following in the wake of the great polar explorers
  • Set foot on the 7th continent, surrounded by glaciers, snow, and surreal silence
  • Observe thousands of penguins in their lively rookeries
  • Kayak past towering icebergs and snowshoe across untouched terrain

The Antarctic Peninsula is anything but a world of white desolation. Join us on a true adventure to a world of immense scale and visual splendour. Passing huge icebergs in the flat calm of a polar morning will reshape the way you look at your world. Encounter huge whales, enormous rookeries of penguins, and stunning landscapes that few have ever witnessed. This 11-day expedition will introduce you to the magic of the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula.

Map & Cruise Itinerary

Arrive in Ushuaia at any time. Arrival transfer included. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the world's most southerly city.

Enjoy a free morning in Ushuaia. Do any last minute shopping, explore the town, or visit the surrounding countryside. Embarkation on the G Expedition begins in the afternoon at the port in Ushuaia. Enjoy the evening sailing through the Beagle Channel.

The adventure begins with an 1000km (800mi) crossing of the passage named in honour of the 16th-century English sea captain and privateer, Sir Francis Drake. Take in daily lectures from the expedition team and keep an eye out for the first sightings of icebergs, whales and albatross following in the G Expedition's wake.

Experience some of the most unique wildlife viewing and inspiring scenery in the world while setting foot on the Antarctic continent. Attempt two shore landings per day (weather permitting) and encounter Gentoo, Chinstrap and Adélie penguin rookeries, Weddell, crabeater and leopard seals, and orca, humpback and minke whales in the cold Antarctic waters. During the voyage, learn about the peninsula's remarkable history.

Begin the journey north to the home port of Ushuaia. Review the highlights of the Antarctic experience with the lecturers and staff. Keep sharp eyes on the observation deck for some last-minute whale sightings.

Disembark the G Expedition after breakfast.

New Ship, Same Spirit

Extensively refurbished with new engines, upgraded common areas, and refreshed cabins with ensuite bathrooms, this adventure-ready vessel was designed to keep things cosy, capable and close to the action.

Gadventures Antarctica Cierva Cove 4644

Small Ship, Big Adventure

With space for just 128 passengers, the Expedition offers an intimate and immersive experience that larger ships can’t match. The small-group size allows guests to disembark and explore twice a day (weather permitting), maximising time ashore for wildlife encounters, photography and unforgettable moments amid the ice and wilderness. That means more time on land, more wildlife sightings, and way more moments you’ll never forget.
