🗺️ We have introduced the A21 fly-cruise experience — a faster and more comfortable way to reach Antarctica. Today, we turn to something deeper, more immersive and undeniably classic: the 13-day, 12-night voyage aboard the 66° Expeditions Seaventure.

Departing from and returning to Ushuaia, this iconic expedition takes you across the legendary Drake Passage and through the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula, delivering the complete polar experience in one unforgettable journey.

For many Antarctica enthusiasts, this is exploration in its truest form: slower travel, deeper discovery, and more time where it matters most.

Journey Highlights

66° Expeditions is China’s first dedicated polar expedition cruise brand. Seaventure, the world’s first expedition vessel purpose-built for polar exploration, features the highest SUPER 1A ice-class rating and has safely completed more than 300 Arctic and Antarctic voyages.

With a maximum of only 150 guests onboard, this intimate small-ship experience allows for efficient Zodiac landings for all passengers and some of the longest average time ashore in the industry. The result is more time to immerse yourself in Antarctica’s pristine wilderness.

You will explore the Seventh Continent in depth. Step ashore on the Antarctic Peninsula and encounter penguins, seals and whales up close. Cruise between towering icebergs by Zodiac and experience the classic Antarctic adventure at its finest.

Visit China’s Great Wall Station in the South Shetland Islands, the starting point of China’s Antarctic scientific research programme. More than a research base, it offers a fascinating window into modern polar science.

Throughout the voyage, expert-led lectures cover wildlife, marine ecosystems, geology, oceanography, glaciers, Antarctic history and climate. Guests may also participate in citizen science initiatives supporting polar environmental conservation.

With excellent value and an all-inclusive concept, every detail has been thoughtfully arranged. Your journey includes one hotel night in Ushuaia, all onboard meals, a professional polar expedition jacket, reusable water bottle, 10GB onboard Wi-Fi and complimentary use of landing boots.

All cabins are ocean-facing, allowing you to enjoy spectacular views at every moment.
