01 — THE TRIP
Fly from Buenos Aires on a private charter to Ushuaia and sail the Drake Passage among towering icebergs, watch whales and penguins in their natural habitat and walk on ancient glaciers. Aboard the World Voyager, an unforgettable journey of adventure, discovery and comfort in one of the most remote places on Earth.
02 — WHAT'S COVERED
Availability is managed as six double suites, without staged seat releases or scarcity rules.
International flights are not included unless expressly stated on the trip page.
International community
On any given departure you may share the route with travelers from Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Spain and other countries. We don't sell tours: we offer guided adventure trips, run in Spanish, in small groups of maximum 16 people.
No more than 16 travelers—never a tour bus.
A Wandernow guide with you throughout the journey.
International groups—you meet people from other countries along the way.
We don't sell tours ruled by a fixed schedule: the best part of a journey is often what wasn't planned. If you know how to let go and flow, this trip is for you.
