Antarctica: Return Journey (Day 9 – 10)

December 2019  [by Bill]

November 30 – December 2:

After leaving Antarctica, we made our way back through the Drake Passage, Beagle Channel, and into Ushuaia, Argentina.

Sailed by Cape Horn (800+ ships have sunk off of this rocky coastal area)

It takes 2+ days sailing time to get from Antarctica back to Ushuaia, Argentina. Once again, we had prepared for terrible weather going through the notorious Drake Passage, but the weather was even nicer on the return voyage then heading out. So lucky…worn a t shirt out on the deck for a few hours…crazy nice out.

We actually docked early in the morning on December 2, and disembarked at 8:30 AM.

My 11-day Antarctica Expedition has concluded, and for me, I had an absolutely amazing time. 

So the price: $6,499 for 11-days (2-bed cabin)
Booked very last minute, hoping to find a deal. (I called the cruise companies directly & compared the prices they were offering.)
