I’ve just returned from my third expedition to the 7th continent, and this time it was an 11 day Antarctica Peninsula itinerary. Most of the itineraries for this trip are fairly similar, but always remember; EVERYTHING is weather dependent!
This was my 3rd expedition to Antarctica hosting my IG followers AKA “MyLifesATravelTRIBE”
The 11 Day Antarctica Peninsula is the cheapest option for going, and literally takes you to “just the tip” of the actual continent. But don’t be deterred that you’re not making a trek to the actual South Pole. Because the area around the Antarctica peninsula is absolutely stunning, and where you’ll see the most wildlife!
Yes, you will have to cross the dreaded Drake Passage, but just think of it as part of the adventure! Speaking of which, this trip is A LOT more fun with like-minded travelers! Especially when you’re disconnected for over a week!
BTW I am self-proclaimed to be known as “The Girl Who Wears Gowns in Antarctica” — I have worn full on gowns on every voyage because I was once told that “millennial women are not the target demographic for Antarctic voyages”. This is also why I wear and encourage my Travel Tribe to wear the colorful metallic snowsuits ! If you happen to wear either on your trip, please tag me (@mylifesatravelmovie) so I can show some love!

NOTE: This was the itinerary for an 11 Day Antarctica Peninsula Voyage on the Ocean Endeavor!
DAY 1: USHUAIA
This particular itinerary listed the trip starting as day 1 in Ushuaia, which is the southernmost town of South America. All it included was a night at a hotel, but to be fair, that works out well since most people arrive a day early anyway. But, this is also a great/easy way to upsell the trip as an 11 day itinerary instead of a 10 day one like the one I did on the Ocean Victory.
Ushuaia is a pretty cool little town in my opinion! If you have extra time you can book a mini-excursion if you’d like, or just explore and enjoy the town!
Favorite Restaurants in Ushuaia :
El Viejo Marino — a MUST for fresh whole crab at a great price!
La Casa de los Mariscos — great seafood, and super cute
Isabel — fancier dinner spot
Sushi Truck — pretty good sushi in a cute little food court looking area
Ramos Generales El Almacen — SUPER cute olde-timey restaurant with an amazing “White Malbec” wine
Things to do in Town:
Take the sightseeing train to the “End of the World”
Take a pic at the “Fin del Mundo” sign
Check out one of the many bars
