Traditional luxury cruises are facing plenty of negative publicity. Over the years, various controversies have mired some of the world’s leading operators. Thankfully, you have other options which provide unique experiences for those who crave an adventure. True to the spirit of exploration, EYOS will take you somewhere only a few will ever visit. Get ready for a frosty time as the ship heads to Antarctica.
After watching plenty of documentaries about our planet’s southernmost continent, we’re practically armchair experts. As one of the most inhospitable places on Earth, it’s probably the last destination anybody would ever pick for their next international trip. Nonetheless, the fact that this service is available means there are folks who get a kick out of danger.
The most uneventful leg of the journey starts in Ushuaia, a city in Argentina. There, you will board one of several expedition superyachts in the operator’s fleet. Navigating through the Drake Passage is a harrowing ordeal for any vessel. Still, the EYOS team in charge of your itinerary will do their best to make it as safe and enjoyable as possible.
“Guests receive detailed pre-departure briefings on IAATO guidelines, wildlife behavior, and what to expect on landings. Onboard expedition teams typically include naturalists, historians, photographers, and glaciologists who provide context and enrich shore visits,” as stated on the marketing page.
Since nature is beyond our control, EYOS wants to set your expectations appropriately. However, in a perfect scenario, highlights include kayaking among icebergs, whale watching, checking out penguin colonies, and more. If the conditions are favorable, the group can access iconic places such as the Lemaire Channel, Deception Island, and Paradise Bay.
