EVERYTHING HAS BEEN CONSIDERED & INCLUDED
Cruise Antarctica Aboard Silver Endeavour
Explore the wonders of Antarctica during six nights aboard the expedition ship Silver Endeavour, which has a capacity of 200 guests. Absorb spectacular sights from the ship’s expansive decks and other public areas, then retire to your comfortable suite. Join optional hikes and Zodiac cruises each day, getting up close to enthralling landscapes and Antarctic wildlife.
Behold Easter Island’s Mysterious Moai
Easter Island’s landscape stands frozen in time. Its uncanny series of statues, named moai by the indigenous Rapa Nui, continue to watch over the island, as they have done for hundreds of years. With two full days on the island, we contemplate these giant stone ancestors from near and far while staying at Explora Rapa Nui resort.
An Uncommon and Carefully Curated Journey
Seamlessly connect these coveted and remote destinations with Captain’s Choice. Your three-night Easter Island adventure proves the perfect start to this adventure. In preparation for our Antarctic cruise, we fly over the Southern Ocean, bypassing the notorious Drake Passage otherwise endured by cruise ships between Antarctica and South America.
Immersive Encounters by Land & Sea
While in Antarctica, our Zodiacs offer closer vantage points from which to glean nature’s secrets. With multiple experts making up our Expedition Teams, we enjoy comprehensive insights into the wildlife and topography of these marvels of nature.
Sights & Spectacles of Santiago
During our three-night Santiago stay, we admire the Plaza de Armas and the Moneda Presidential Palace. Ascend San Cristóbal Hill by cable car, taking in spectacular panoramas of Santiago and the Andes. And enjoy a day trip to the colourful port city of Valparaíso and the Casablanca Valley wine region.
