None. Not sure if it's the right fit? Niki will talk it through with you.

Can I still do this trip?

This was a past SXT departure to Antarctica & Argentina. We run adventures like it regularly, so contact us about the next departure or a custom version designed for your own group.

Absolutely. SXT trips attract friendly, like-minded travelers, and many guests arrive solo and leave with a whole new crew of dive buddies.

Do you handle flights and logistics?

Yes. SXT concierge takes care of flights, transfers, documents, and the little details, so all you have to do is show up and soak it in.

Why you will love this trip

What makes this trip special, and why travelers choose to come back.

Antarctic Peninsula, floating cathedral icebergs

Cruising the Gerlache Strait puts you among icebergs the size of city blocks and looming glaciers, a scale of wilderness so absolute it resets every idea you had about how big the world is.

Penguins, leopard seals, and humpback whales

Chinstrap, Adelie, and Gentoo penguin colonies share the beaches with Weddell and Antarctic fur seals, while whales surface in the stillness of the strait and leopard seals patrol the waterline.

Buenos Aires, tango and world-class beef

The journey bookends Antarctica with the electric streets of Buenos Aires, from the colorful La Boca neighborhood and the history of Plaza de Mayo to Palermo Viejo's culinary tour of empanadas, steak, and Malbec.

Drake Passage crossing, a polar rite of passage

Two days navigating the famous Drake Passage, with onboard science lectures on glaciology and polar marine biology, makes the arrival at the South Shetland Islands feel genuinely earned.
