Antarctica Gay Expedition

Warm up to our signature gay Antarctica cruise.

We’re heading to Antarctica on a polar gay cruise to the continent that inspired our company’s creation. Our journey begins amid the tango beats of Buenos Aires before we soar south to Ushuaia, the “End of the World,” where the mighty Ultramarine awaits. Once we’ve crossed the legendary Drake Passage, prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure filled with sub-zero safaris, otherworldly hikes, whale encounters, and (if you’re brave enough) a triumphant Polar Plunge. Though we sail as part of a larger expedition, we’ve crafted exclusive excursions and events just for our group.

PLEASE NOTE: This trip requires a non-refundable/non-transferable deposit and has special booking conditions. Please click here for more details.

ITINERARY

Day 1 Buenos Aires

Hola! Welcome to beautiful Buenos Aires, Argentina, a massive, vibrant city with a turbulent past.

Feel free to explore a little on your own before our 6PM welcome meeting. After everyone has gotten acquainted, we’ll stroll over to one of the romantic city’s best local haunts for our official Welcome Dinner.

 

Day 2 Ushuaia and Embarkation Day

After an early breakfast at the hotel, we’ll transfer to the airport and board a charter flight to Ushuaia, Argentina. Upon arrival we’ll have some free time to explore this quaint port town before making our way to the pier. Late this afternoon we’ll board the Ultramarine and officially begin our Antarctica Expedition. After we pass through the historic Beagle Channel, which transects the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, we’ll bid farewell to land for a couple of days.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Unlike our typical offerings, an expedition cruise is not only more exciting, but also less predictable. We must factor in ever-changing sea, ice, wildlife and weather conditions in a remote part of the world. Therefore, the itinerary is less specific than usual. Still, the days will be full of adventure.

Day 3-4 Crossing the Drake Passage

Prepare for rough water, but hope for smooth sailing: the notorious Drake Passage is unpredictable, but you’re in good hands with our professional expedition team. Spend this time getting to know fellow shipmates, attending wildlife and nature briefings, and find out what lies ahead. For more information on sea sickness review the important information page here. 

Day 5-9 South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula
Day 10-11 Crossing the Drake Passage
Day 12 Disembarkation in Ushuaia & flight to Buenos Aires

What better way to go to the bottom of the world than with a great bunch of guys who at least have one thing in common! I loved touching down in Ushuaia and then sailing off to the unknown. Completely perfect itinerary.
