Ushuaia, Argentina – The Southernmost City and the Gateway to Antarctica
A Glacier-Lined Arrival at the End of South America
We are up early this morning as the ship approaches Ushuaia, the southernmost city in South America. The captain had announced that anyone awake around 4:00am would catch the glaciers along the approach, so we set the alarm for ten till. Even though the sun isn’t fully up, there is enough light for Harrison’s Samsung S23 Ultra to capture some great shots. We are so far south and just a few days past the Southern Hemisphere summer solstice, so sunrise is at 5:00am today and sunset will be around 10:15pm. We spend a couple of hours out on deck watching us glide into this city of about 80,000 people.
A City Built on Isolation
Ushuaia originally began as an Argentine penal colony — remote, isolated, and intentionally difficult to escape. Today often called the “End of the World,” it sits at the southern tip of Argentina where the Andes tumble into the Beagle Channel.
The town blends rugged wilderness with a surprisingly cozy charm—colorful houses and seafood cafés.
Today Ushuaia serves as a gateway to the vast Patagonia regions and as the starting point for many of the ships that head to Antarctica. We see the National Geographic Ship Endurance as well as a couple of others preparing to head south.
Riding the End-of-the-World Train
Prisoners cut timber in the surrounding forests, and a small railroad was built to haul the wood back to town to heat the prison. As land was timbered, prisoners had to extend the railway to gain access to more trees. The prison didn’t close until 1949, and today that same railway has been transformed into a tourist train. As part of our excursion, we took a bus from the ship to the train terminal and rode the narrow-gauge line for about an hour and fifteen minutes through Tierra del Fuego National Park. The park offers dramatic scenery with waterfalls, forests, glaciers and mountains and is home to over 20 species of mammals and 90 species of birds.
A Visit to Lago Roca
After the train ride, we tour other parts of the National Park including a stop at Lago Roca. Here a group of brave souls are getting ready to go kayaking on a cold, drizzly and windy day. We love kayaking but that is a hard pass!
The End of the Pan America Highway
This trip gives us a rare chance to stand at both ends of the Pan‑American Highway, a road network stretching roughly 19,000 miles from the Arctic Ocean to the tip of South America. At the northern terminus in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, the highway begins in a stark world of tundra, ice, and industrial solitude. Over the years we’ve traveled most of the Alaskan section and parts of the route through Canada, long before we even realize the significance of where we are driving.
In fact, we didn’t even know that traveling the entire Pan‑American was “a thing” until we met a group of bikers in Alaska who were attempting the full journey from top to bottom. Their excitement planted a seed we didn’t recognize at the time.
On this trip, thousands of miles south, we reach Ushuaia, Argentina, where the highway winds through the forests and peaks of Tierra del Fuego before meeting the Beagle Channel at the “End of the World.” Along the way we even cross small stretches of the Pan‑American in Peru, Chile, and Argentina, unknowingly connecting more pieces of the route.
Realizing we had visited both the beginning and the end of this legendary road—two places that feel like opposite edges of the planet—adds an unexpected sense of accomplishment to the journey. It’s a milestone few travelers hit, and one we’ll always remember.
A Wildlife-Filled Catamaran Ride
Next comes a fantastic catamaran ride — about an hour and a half — out to the lighthouse area. Sea lions, penguins and other birds, and all kinds of wildlife were everywhere. King Crab are harvested in this area of the world and one of the shipmates had one to show us. Everyone assumed he’d caught it while we were sailing, but he later admits he bought it at the local seafood market earlier this morning with intentions of cooking it for dinner. We linger in this wildlife rich area for a good 40 minutes taking photos and soaking it all in. The whole tour ran from 8:15am until about 2:30pm.
A Quick Dash Through Ushuaia
Unfortunately, all aboard is at 4:00pm, so once we get back to the pier, we hustle into town. Downtown Ushuaia is lively and colorful — and to our amazement, there is even a Hard Rock Café. We are on the hunt for souvenirs and manage to find a shot glass, though the Patagonia or Antarctica sweatshirt we really want remains elusive. Oddly, several stores are closed from 2:30pm – 3:30pm (presumably for lunch) despite multiple cruise ships being in port.
.
Sailing Toward Antarctica
The weather has been mostly cloudy with occasional spits of rain, but every now and then the sun breaks through. Leaving Ushuaia and South America behind, we sail down the Beagle Channel, heading toward Antarctica. The 150-milelong Beagle Channel forms part of the Chilean-Argentinian border set hundreds of years ago. About half an hour later, we pass a small island known for its penguin colony, and the captain slows the ship so everyone can take a look. Due to shallow waters, the island is a little far from the ship, so Harrison doesn’t get any closeups. We’re able to take in the overall nature of the colony and spot a couple small boats visiting the island.
New Year’s Eve – Drake Passage
December 31, 2025
Today we begin sailing the Drake Passage that connects the Atlantic & Pacific Oceans. It is named after the 16th-centery English explorer Sir Francis Drake. Traveling the Drake Passage is considered one of the most treacherous voyages for ships. Lucky travelers get the “Drake Lake” with calm waters; less fortunate travelers get the “Drake Quake”, experiencing waves as high as 40 feet. At around 600 miles wide, the passage is relatively narrow compared to the surrounding oceans which means current speed up as they are forced through. We landed somewhere in-between with the “Drake Shake”: 13-foot swells, winds over 40 mph and a whole lot of rocking and rolling.
We stay inside the ship for most of the day, grateful for Starlink which lets Harrison get all his photography organized and uploaded to the cloud. Around 5:00pm, we decide to watch a movie and put on National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Afterward, we go down to the Terrace Café for a surprisingly good New Year’s Eve dinner — Beef Wellington — and then head back to the room to dress for the evening’s festivities, enjoying a couple of adult beverages while we get ready.
Around 10:00pm we make our way up to the New Year’s Eve party in the Horizons Lounge. We socialize and meet a number of couples, time flies by and at midnight, the crew hands out free champagne, and we all toast the new year together. By around 12:30am, most people – including us – are ready to call it a night as tomorrow we’ll begin the Antarctic portion of our trip. A lively but perfectly low-key way to ring in the new year while crossing one of the roughest stretches of ocean on the planet.
.
Antarctica – Admiralty Bay & Deception Island
This is a map of the areas we explored while in Antarctica for 3 days.
The Oceania cruise line provided a phenomenal group of Antarctic specialists they called the Explorer Team. It consisted of a Geologist with extensive knowledge of glaciers, a Biologist specializing in cold-weather mammals, a Biologist specializing in cold-weather birds and an Antarctic Historian. Not only did they provide 2 lectures per day, but they brought a lot of super strong binoculars, cameras and other equipment to help spot and identify wildlife. They were very approachable and it truly made the experience more worthwhile.
Entering Admiralty Bay
Despite the late evening, we are up around 5:00a when the captain announces we are about to enter Admiralty Bay, one of the major harbor areas in Antarctica. Harrison is more energetic than Nancy and like a kid on Christmas morning, he immediately throws on some clothes and heads straight out on deck. Nancy joins shortly thereafter and we spend a couple of hours cruising through the bay before grabbing a quick breakfast – then back on deck. It is glorious taking in the research stations along the shoreline, watching penguins “porpoising” through the water, spotting whales in the distance, and just soaking in the dramatic sweep of glaciers all around us. The landscape is stunning – quiet, icy, and absolutely beautiful.
The First Icebergs Spotted
Up on deck, we pass several large icebergs on our way to the opening of the bay. Its early morning and it’s also slightly foggy outside.
Henryk Arctowski Antarctic Station
As we enter the bay, we pass the Henryk Arctowski Antarctic Station which operates year‑round as Poland’s primary Antarctic research base. Established in 1977, it is managed by the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Comandante Ferraz Antarctic Station
As go deeper into the bay we also spot the Comandante Ferraz Antarctic Station which is Brazil’s permanent research base. There’s a large glacier in the background.
Penguins Floating by Everywhere
We are surrounded by 2 types of penguins. Gentoo penguins are easily recognized by the broad white stripe across the top of its head, its bright orange-red bill and its prominent tail (the longest of any penguin). Their webbed feet are orange. They generally reach a height of 30″ and a weight of 18 lbs making them the third-largest species of penguin after the emperor and king penguins. They are the fastest underwater swimmers of all penguins reaching speeds up to 22 mph. Chinstrap penguins are easily recognized by the thin black band across their neck and their short black bill. They generally reach a height of 28″ and a weight of 10 lbs. Their webbed feet are pink.
Admiralty Bay
The history of Admiralty Bay in Antarctica dates back to its naming on a map in 1822 by British sailor Captain George Powell. It is an irregular shaped bay on King George Island in the South Shetland Islands, known historically as a sheltered anchorage for sealers and whalers in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Early human presence included involuntary wintering by sealers. In the mid-20th century, it became a site for scientific research with British bases established, and today it hosts the Polish Henryk Arctowski Station and the Brazilian Comandante Ferraz Station. Admiralty Bay is also ecologically important, protected for its bird colonies and marine life
Whales
All morning, we spot whales swimming near the ship.
Sailing Toward Deception Island
We continue sailing in the afternoon toward Deception Island. We pass a number of enormous, sculptural icebergs along the way.
Deception Island
Some chunks of ice have penguins riding along on top, which makes for great photos. As we pass Deception Island, we come across a small iceberg absolutely packed with hundreds of penguins clustered together. Deception Island, part of the South Shetland Islands, is not an island but is the flooded caldera of an active volcano. Ships approaching from the outside saw only a continuous coastline, but a narrow, easily missed opening leads into the flooded caldera. It was heavily damaged by eruptions in 1967 and 1969. We also see hundreds of penguins on a black sand beach.
Leaving Deception Harbor
By the time we leave Deception Harbor it is about 6:00pm and it will take us until the wee-early morning hours to get to Paradise Bay. The sun is still out, the light is gorgeous, and despite the temperature hovering about freezing, it feels surprisingly comfortable. We are bundled up in long underwear and fleece lined pants, 2 long sleeve shirt layers plus a winter coat, gloves and a skull cap – which makes it warm enough to stay outside for a long time just taking it all in before heading to dinner.
Antarctica – Paradise Bay & A Perfect Antarctic Day
A 2:30am Sunrise Start
Harrison gets up to use the bathroom around 2:30am. Now that we’re further south, we’re in 24 hours of daylight and the sunlight is slipping through the curtains. He peeks outside to see we are moving through a very scenic channel, so Harrison dresses to start a long day. With coffee available 24/7 in the Horizons Lounge, he is wide awake and up on the deck taking photos as the ship continues sailing toward Paradise Bay.
Paradise Bay: Antarctica at Its Best
As we approach the area, Nancy joins him up and deck and then we grab breakfast as soon as the cafe opens. Then, the morning is about settling in for several hours surrounded by the full, breathtaking Antarctic experience. Paradise Bay is everything you imagine when you picture this continent: towering glaciers, sculpted icebergs, mirror-still water, and wildlife everywhere you looked. It is serene, dramatic and absolutely unforgettable.
A Perfect Afternoon Cruising Gerlache Strait
The afternoon cruise that follows is just as spectacular as we sail through the long, scenic waterway called the Gerlache Strait. It is on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, separating the Palmer Archipelago from the mainland’s Danco Coast. The weather is perfect – crystal-clear air, bright sunlight, and visibility that seems to stretch forever. Harrison ends up taking some of the most stunning photographs of his life. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime kind of day.
A Quiet Antarctic Evening
Later, we sit out on our deck for a long time just watching the world drift by. Sunny, calm, and impossibly beautiful and neither of us feels like going out to dinner. And so – we once again order room service. After being up ridiculously early, exhaustion finally catches up with Harrison. So, we put on a movie we know Nancy will like that Harrison won’t care if he sleeps through.
Antarctica – Half Moon Island & Our Final Day in Antarctic Waters
Approaching Half Moon Island
The captain is trying to get to and through the Drake Passage before a storm reaches the area, which would make our trip back through that stretch of water rather unpleasant. Harrison is up around 5:30am as we approach our last “destination” in Antarctica – Half Moon Island, a crescent-shaped island sitting in the McFarlane Strait. Half Moon Island is home to Argentina’s Camara research station.
Harrison grabs coffee at Horizons and is up on deck to see if he can spot more penguins and whales. Nancy joins shortly after and then we head to breakfast. Half Moon Bay is beautiful, though not quite as dramatic as some of the places we visited earlier in Antarctica. Still, with blue skies, bright sun, and the light bouncing off the glaciers, it makes for some really great photography.
The rest of the morning we sail up along a chain of islands, enjoying the scenery. We are scheduled to begin turning north just after noon to head out of Antarctica, back through the Drake Passage and eventually make our way to the Falkland Islands. As we move past the final island, a fog bank settles in and is there the rest of the day.
As we sail once again through open waters for the next day and a half, we spend time doing various activities on the cruise ship. Nancy has found a trivia team and made friends. We enjoy a red wine tasting event courtesy of our travel agent. We even partake in the daily afternoon tea event just to say we experienced it. We also take in an evening show of Broadway tunes.

The Falkland Islands – Stanley, Gypsy Cove & A Perfect Day Ashore
Arrival in Stanley
Once again, we are up around 5:30am as the ship approaches the Falkland Islands, excited for a full day ashore. We grab our usual breakfast at the Terrace Cafe and head straight to the Marina Lounge to wait for our tender call. We are Group 10 and it feels like we wait there forever – although it only takes 45 minutes – but eventually our number is called.
We tender to shore and to our delight, we learn our tour is not on a big bus with 30+ people, but just 12 people in a 20 person mini-bus.
The Falkland Islands are 2 remote islands in the South Atlantic Ocean, east of southern Argentina. They are a self‑governing British Overseas Territory with their own internal government and legislative assembly, though the UK retains responsibility for defense and foreign affairs. The capital is Stanley and is home to about 3000 of the 3660+ people that live in the islands. Falkland Islanders form a small, tight-knit, resilient community where residents often hold multiple jobs over the course of their time living there. While fishing and sheep farming are the dominant industries, they come to a halt whenever a cruise ship docks in town, and tourism takes over. Our guide, who has been on the island for 40+ years shares stories of when cruise passengers got stranded on the island when weather quickly shifted – and residents just took the passengers into their homes.
A drive through parts of Stanley
Our guide drives us through a bit of “downtown” Stanley first. We pass the supermarket and a few local spots before heading out toward Gypsy Cove. On the way, we stop to look at a rusted old ship that served as a floating storage unit for 70 years until a storm finally blew it into the harbor. Now, it just sits there, slowly collapsing into the water.
Gypsy Cove
At Gypsy Cove, we only se a handful of penguins — maybe six to twelve total. These are Magellanic Penguins, one of the widespread and most recognizable penguin species in South America. They have a white crescent that curves from the eye down to the throat, a black throat band and a second inverted U-shaped black band around the chest. Their legs and feet are black with white & pink blotches.
Harrison wanders off to hike around the entire loop trail, while the tour group turns around and hikes the same way back since the rest of the loop is rather uneven for walking. The guide seems a little stressed about it, but Nancy assures him he is fine and no harm done.
Totem Pole
As we head back to Stanley, we make several stops. Our first is at “the totem pole”, a quirky collection of signs pointing to hometowns from people all over the world.
Whale Conservation
Next we visit a small display about whale conservation – complete with a slightly dinosaur-looking whale model and a strong “don’t kill the whales” message.
Exploring Stanley
From there we continue into Stanley to see several memorials including the Falklands War Memorial and a World War I Naval Memorial. Near the government building we see a statue of Margaret Thatcher. Finally, our guide drops us at the Historic Dockyard Museum. We will explore the museum and make our way back to the tender on our own, while some of our fellow passengers choose to go with the guide back to the tender. Of course, we stop to nab a photo of Christ Church Cathedral, the southernmost Anglican cathedral in the world since 1892. Right beside the church stands the Whalebone Arch made from the jawbones of two blue whales. It was erected in 1933 to commemorate 100 years of continuous British administration in the Falklands. Together, the cathedral and the Whalebone Arch form the most iconic visual pairing in Stanley – a blend of maritime heritage, Anglican history, and the rugged natural world that defines the Falklands.
Lunch & Local Craft Beer
We walke over to the Falkland Beerworks — technically the most remote brewery in the world. We enjoy an oatmeal stout and a rock hopper blonde ale. Soon hunger takes over and we go in search of a place for lunch. There’s not much in town, but we manage to find Groovys just as two seats at the bar open up. The music themed place is packed and there’s about a 30-minute wait for a table. We share the delicious fish and chips and then meet Robbie from Utah who is traveling solo with another cruise line on his way to Antarctica. He way over-orders food, so he shares his quesadillas with us. They are equally as delicious!
Next, we go in search of the legendary Victory Bar, but unfortunately, it is closed. The Victory Bar is one of Stanley’s most beloved institutions — a classic, no‑nonsense British‑style pub with deep local roots and a reputation for being the place where Islanders and visitors mingle. Not wanting to head back to the ship just yet, we return to Falklands Beerworks, meeting up with several of our fellow cruise passengers, including a young couple on their honeymoon. It is a delightful experience.

Puerto Madryn, Argentina – Penguins, Desert Landscapes & a Reunion
A Reunion 40 Years in the Making
We are up early this morning and head straight down to the gangway so Nancy can meet her sorority sister from college days. What a surprise! We are sailing on Oceania in one direction, she’s on Viking in the other direction, and somehow our port stops lined up on the same day! Halfway around the world in Puerto Madryn, Argentina, two sorority sisters meet again after 45 years. They manage a whirlwind fifteen-minute reunion before we all scatter for our different excursions. Thank you social media for helping us figure this out and for reuniting us!
Into the Desert
We opt for a non-cruise ship excursion with Nancy’s trivia team. The fourteen of us get into a van and head into an area out of Puerto Madryn that feels uncannily like Arizona or parts of the American Southwest – dry, wide-open, rugged terrain. We see llamas and sheep along our drive to El Padral Lodge.
We also manage to see a bunch of choique (also known as the “lesser rhea”) – a large, flightless bird closely related to the ostrich and emu. Between the choique, the llamas, the sheep wandering through the scrub, and several species of birds, the wildlife make the 90-minute drive on unpaved roads worthwhile.
A Young, Thriving Penguin Colony
The last thing one would expect to see in this desert landscape is a vast area of nesting penguins. Our guide explains that Magellanic penguins only began nesting in El Padral around 2005. Heavy fishing farther south pushed them to search for better feeding and nesting grounds, and they eventually discovered this protected area near a private lodge. The colony started with just a few dozen pairs and has now grown to over 3,000. Seeing such a young colony thriving in such an unlikely place is really something. We are able to walk right up close to the penguins and take hundreds of photos.
A Patagonian Lamb Roast
After our trek into the penguin colon, we head back to the El Padral Lodge for a lamb roast lunch. The venue is a beautiful setting often used for weddings and their food is delicious. Several excursions are lunching here at the same time.
A Lighthouse, A Rough Road & A Shot Glass
After lunch we visit a lighthouse perched above a cliff – gorgeous views and great photo opportunities – before making the hour-plus drive back to the port. The unpaved road is rough, but we survive it and Nancy even sneaks in a little nap.
Puerto Madryn
Back at the pier, we wander through a few craft vendors looking for a shot glass. The wind is blowing strongly, enough for kids to be flying kites, and we eventually find a shot glass in a small souvenir shop on the main drag. With the wind picking up, we decide to just head back to the ship.
Buenos Aires – A Long, Luxurious Afternoon at Gamboa Winery
A Local Weekend Crowd
We head out this morning for the Gamboa Winery about an hour and fifty minutes outside Buenos Aires. What strikes us right away is how local the whole scene feels. Most of the visitors aren’t tourists at all – they are families, couples, and groups of friends from the area. It is the kind of weekend crowd you’d expect at a Virginia Winery back home on a Saturday. People are taking photos among the vines, celebrating birthdays, and doing casual photo shoots. It has that relaxed, weekend-escape energy.
Sparkling Wine at the Door
The moment we step off the van, they hand us a glass of sparkling wine – no easing into it. We pick a table, but don’t stay long because the tour starts almost immediately. The group is mostly native Spanish speakers, so the guide leads the tour in Spanish with another staff member stepping in occasionally to translate the highlights for us. We wander through the vineyard for about an hour, learning about their grapes and growing process, with wine tasting stops along the way. They even have a beer-and-wine hybrid we taste – surprisingly good – and by the time the tour wraps up, we’ve already had about 4 full glasses of wine. We assume we’d get a light lunch at our table – and we had no idea what we are in for!
A 2 1/2-Hour Feast
Lunch turns into a full 2 1/2 hour feast. Course after course arrives – appetizers, then more appetizers, then salad, then the main dish and finally four different desserts (not delivered together, but individually as if each were a course in and of itself). This is easily the most food we’ve eaten in a single meal in years. By the time we roll back onto the ship, dinner is absolutely out of the question.
A Perfect Buenos Aires Afternoon
We spend the rest of the late afternoon and evening in a blissful food coma, watching a little TV and letting the day wind down. A long day, a lot of wine, and a perfect start to Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires – City Streets, Grand Architecture & a Taste of Everyday Life
This part of the journey marks the official start of the 3rd cruise of this back-to-back three cruise adventure. It feels like there are fewer passengers aboard now; at some point later on it is confirmed that there’s somewhere between 800 and 900 passengers on this leg. It is now so much easier to find a table in restaurants!
A Different Kind of Day in Buenos Aires
Our second day in Buenos Aires has a completely different energy from the long, wine-soaked afternoon at Gamboa Winery. Today is all about the city itself – its neighborhoods, its history, and the rhythm of daily life that makes Buenos Aires feel so alive.
Exploring a City of 15 Million People
After taking the ship’s shuttle into the city, we start the morning wandering through some of the city’s most iconic districts. Buenos Aires is enormous – nearly 15 million people – and you feel that scale immediately. One moment you’re surrounded by European-style architecture that wouldn’t look out of place in Budapest, and the next, you’re along the waterfront where the vibe shifts to something closer to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. There are tall ships, sleek new high-rises, restaurants spilling out onto the sidewalks and long walkways that make you want to keep exploring.
Recoleta Cemetery
Recoleta Cemetery is a highlight and is unlike any cemetery we’ve ever seen. It is filled with mausoleums and vaults, many that looked like miniature temples, complete with columns, statues, stained glass and elaborate carvings. Some had glass fronts where you could see stacked coffins that have been resting there for generations. Its most famous permanent resident is Eva Perón (Evita). It’s beautiful, surreal, and strangely peaceful.
A City That Surprises You Block by Block
We spens the rest of the day weaving through different parts of the city, taking in the mix of old and new, quiet corners and bustling streets. Buenos Aires has a way of surprising you block by block.
Lunch
When we first got off the shuttle bus, Nancy had spotted a small restaurant, the Dandy Grill, and she made note of its location in case we might consider it later. Once we are actually looking for lunch, we decide not to “over-think” it and just head there. The lunch exceeds our expectation, but in hindsight, we shouldn’t have been surprised.
Waterfront
Next it is time to cover more ground by leveraging the Hop-On/Hop-Off bus. We visit 2 distinct waterfront areas in the Caminito and Puerto Madero areas.
Caminito is in the La Boca Neighborhood which is known for its brightly painted houses. Puerto Madero is Buenos Aires’ sleek, waterfront district—an old port transformed into one of the city’s most modern and polished neighborhoods. Restored red‑brick warehouses line the docks alongside glassy high‑rises.
Monuments
Buenos Aires is full of monuments everywhere you look.
Florida Avenue
As one of our last stops, we spend time walking the iconic pedestrian Florida Street which is known for its cafes, street performers and shops.
A Quiet Evening After a Full Day
By late afternoon, we make our way back to the ship, tired in that good way that comes from a full day of walking and discovery. No big dinner tonight – yesterday’s feast at Gamboa and our late lunch at Dandy Grill are still lingering. So, we keep things simple and order a charcuterie board to the room.
Another great day, and Buenos Aires continues to impress.
What’s Next
With Buenos Aires behind us, we’re now sailing toward our first stop in Uruguay. Part IV has taken us from the icy glaciers of Antarctica to the windswept Falklands and finally into the heart of hot and humid Argentina. It was a stretch of travel that feels both epic and strangely intimate at the same time.
