This morning you'll be picked up and transferred to Buenos Aires airport for your internal flight to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in Argentina. Due to its location near the South Pole, it has approximately 18 hours of sunlight in the summer and only around 8 hours in winter. However, this does not prevent tourists from visiting as Ushuaia offers pristine places at “the world's end”.

A transfer is provided from Ushuaia airport to the cruise port to commence embarkation on Seabourn’s ‘Seabourn Pursuit’ ship. Once aboard, this stunning luxury ship is yours to explore.

The Bow Lounge introduces some technological enhancements, providing touch screens showing the ship’s plotted location as well as navigational charts and scientific information. Large screens project live footage from mounted cameras outside the ship and from a drone when conditions permit, while the touch screen monitors invite guests to explore on their own with a live map, weather information and notes detailing upcoming expeditions.

Packing List Guide
You don't need a lot of gear, just the right gear and this is your “must-have” list for Antarctica.  
• Base Layer - Long underwear that's breathable, mid-weight thermal tops and bottoms that provide warmth without bulk. We suggest travelling with two sets.
• Insulating Layer - Expedition tops and bottoms that's worn over your base layer and under your waterproof pants and jacket. You may wish to choose expedition weight thermals or select comfortable, insulating shirts and pants made of “state of the art” performance fabrics that move and flex with you. Warmth and insulation are key for this layer. 
• Lofted, insulating “puffy” vest. While your complimentary PolarShield Parka Set includes a jacket insulated with Primaloft, you’ll appreciate the versatility a similarly lofted vest adds to your adventure wardrobe. Such a vest is a wonderfully flexible piece to wear onboard, on deck or as an added layer during times of “exceptional” weather. The loft retains heat with remarkable efficiency, is feather-light and compacts for easy packing.
• Outer Layer - Waterproof pants as you’ll be “ship bound” without them. Waterproof is essential (but not breathable in this instance as you don’t want moisture seeping through the fabric’s pores while seated in the Zodiac or sitting in a snowpack onshore). Loose fitting and wide leg width are preferred (without zippers so you can easily tuck them into your knee-high waterproof boots).
• Footwear - Knee-high, insulated, waterproof boots are provided for your use with compliments while you are onboard your expedition vessel (you are fitted and size selections are made once you’re onboard). For those with special footwear needs, you may wish to rent overshoe boots which are made to be worn over your own custom, orthopaedic footwear.  
• Socks - Heavyweight “over the calf” boot socks made of wool or wool blend.
• Gloves - Insulating waterproof gloves or mittens with removable liners. The liners can be worn as “stand alone” gloves/mittens during warmer moments or when reducing bulk to hold your camera, binoculars or smartphone. You'll also need neoprene paddling gloves if you opt to have a kayak experience.
• Headwear - You may wish for an additional, versatile piece of headwear or neckwear such as a balaclava or neck gaiter. It’s great to have on hand during a windy, wet or snowy weather event.
• Trekking poles: A lightweight, collapsible/telescopic walking staff (also called a trekking pole) provides a sense of security, increased balance and confidence when walking on ice, snow and rugged terrain.
• Waterproof sacks and cases - Heavy-duty waterproof sacks and cases specifically designed to protect your smartphone, camera, film, binoculars and carry in your backpack.
• Foot/Hand warmers - To put between your feet and your socks and your hands and gloves for extra warmth.
• Binoculars: Compact, high-performance binoculars ensure you don’t miss a thing. A pair of 8" x 26” (8 power magnification and 26mm objective diameter) is recommended for ease of viewing, travelling and packing.
• Other - It's also recommended to pack a pair of good sunglasses, glacier glasses or goggles with U.V. filter protection, sunscreen, lip balm and sunscreen.

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group.

Tour Leader
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined.
Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.

• February: Late summer temperatures continue to rise slightly, ranging from 7°C to 15°C.
This period is Ushuaia's summer season, but it remains relatively cool compared to many other places. It's a popular time for travellers seeking to explore the stunning landscapes of Tierra del Fuego and embark on expeditions to Antarctica. However, be prepared for rapidly changing weather, including rain and wind, which are common year-round in this region.

Antarctica

Chile
(For optional Santiago, Chile pre/post tour stopovers)
To enter Chile, Australian citizens must obtain a visa before arrival. The application process can be lengthy, so allow yourself enough time before your planned travel. When travelling to Chile, you'll get a tourist card (paper) on arrival. You must keep the card and present it to immigration officials when departing Chile. You can request a new copy online if your tourist card is lost or stolen. Entry and exit conditions can change at short notice. Contact the Embassy or Consulate of Chile for details about visas, currency, customs and quarantine rules.
Important: 
• Please start arranging your visa three weeks before departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating hours.
• Visa rules may have changed since Covid-19. Some countries and airlines may require you to obtain an additional visa before arrival. Please check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination you're entering.
Please note: 
• It is your responsibility to be travel-ready and ensure that you are aware and comply with any destination or travel requirements, including the validity of all required travel documents.
• Passengers who are not Australian citizens must also check with the respective consulate or visa agency to determine what their visa requirements are and what personal identification is required.
• It is also important to note that some areas of employment, such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations, may have additional restrictions in applying for visas. This may, in turn, affect the type of application required.

Supplier Fees
In the event the tour package you have purchased is unable to proceed, and/or a travel Supplier is unable to fulfil the tour due to external circumstances (Limitation of Liability e.g. a Force Majeure event), there may be a fee or amount of money that is withheld by our Suppliers and is unrecoverable. This may be due to non-refundable airline tickets, cancellation penalties with cruise cabins or unrecoverable payments with our land/accommodation partners. If refunds are not available from Suppliers, we will endeavour to obtain a travel credit on the best terms available and communicate these outcomes to you. In the event we are unable to obtain a refund or travel service credit, or part thereof, this cost is passed on to the customer as a Supplier Fee.
