Exploring the Greatest Wilderness on Earth
After joining MS Fram in Ushuaia, we cross Drake Passage to the mighty frozen continent of Antarctica.
Our expert captain and expedition team will attempt landings to see penguins, seals, whales and huge flocks of sea birds. All our activities are carefully planned to not disturb the wildlife. There may also be chances to join an optional sea kayaking tour.
Nowhere on Earth compares with Antarctica. This is an expedition cruise that will live in your memory forever.
Cape Horn and Stunning Fjords
After unforgettable days in Antarctica, MS Fram sails safely back across Drake Passage. Cape Horn is a mystical place where two oceans meet, and we hope to go ashore here. Next, we sail to one of the most scenic national parks on Earth and into the stunning fjords of Chile. This wild, rugged and remote area seems almost untouched by humans. Deep valleys and snow-capped peaks are a stunning contrast with the lush coastal plains and their rich variety of wildlife.
Heading towards colorful Valparaíso, we sail along the beautiful Chilean Pacific coastline, a fitting finale for a truly unique and spectacular journey. Want more? Extend your trip with a post-cruise Land Adventure.
