A melting pot of European and South American cultures, Buenos Aires is the confident capital of Argentina. Beside the busy port is a metropolis boasting eclectic architecture, delicious parrilla-based cuisine and passionate Porteños. It is the birthplace of Pope Francis and Diego Maradona and final resting place of Evita. The famously seductive Argentine tango was born in the cobbled backstreets of the La Boca area, so there’s no better place to experience this sultry dance
Transfer to the airport for your flight to Ushuaia
Upon arrival, transfer to the port and embark the brand new MS Fridjtof Nansen for your 17 night voyage of Antarctica
Prepare yourself for Antarctica as you cross the famed Drake Passage. Learn about the fascinating history and environmental science of Antarctica from the Expedition Team in the Science Centre
Antarctica never fails to inspire awe and wonder, with white horizons above oceans full of icebergs and whales. Perhaps even more awe-inspiring will be your first encounter with the huge colonies of penguins. Hurtigruten’s Expedition Team will lead ice-cruising and landings at every opportunity to come ashore and explore the impressive Antarctic scenery.
From deck, there are great chances to spot whales. Of course, this is true wilderness, so nature is in charge, but your experienced Captain will work with the elements to create the best possible itinerary for your adventure including attempted landings at several sites in the South Shetlands and on the Antarctic Peninsula with the aim of bringing you closer to the incredible diversity of landscapes and rich wildlife on display in this pristine wilderness.
Wherever you explore, the sights and sounds and of Antarctica are sure to stay with you for a lifetime!
The Expedition Team will continue the lecture programme, covering history and the great explorers, marine biology, wildlife, oceanography and climate change. Spend some time on deck and look out for wildlife as you make your way north to the Falklands, usually followed by different sea bird species, such as albatrosses
As you reach the westernmost outposts in the Falklands you will see remote farms that have been family-owned for several generations. You may call on New Island, which boasts white sand beaches and turquoise waters that could easily be mistaken for those on a Caribbean isle. Carcass Island is another possible stop, an avian paradise with ducks, geese, penguins, albatrosses, caracaras and wrens. Stanley, the capital of the Falklands, is inviting and a good size for roaming the streets on foot. Or you can join an optional excursion to explore the wilderness and wildlife in the surrounding area including hiking options

Featuring Hurtigruten’s revolutionary hybrid powered propulsion system, MS Fridtjof Nansen will be a near identical twin to her sister ship MS Roald Amundsen, and will honour the heritage of her namesake, the Norwegian explorer and scientist. Combining state of the art technology and a premium on board experience with unforgettable destinations, MS Fridtjof Nansen will introduce you to the next generation of adventure travel.
Hurtigruten recommends pre-booking shore excursions. This can be done up to four weeks prior to departure (two weeks if paid by credit card) at the rates presented. Shore excursions are also available to book on board but spaces may be limited. Please note: all excursions booked on board will be charged in Norwegian Kroner.
There is no official dress code on board but some guests choose to change to casualwear for dinner. The weather in Norway can vary during the course of each voyage (or even during the day!) so we recommend reading our climate zone packing guide to ensure you’re ready for every possibility.
Norwegian cuisine is served on board. Chefs use only the very best locally sourced, seasonal ingredients which are collected from port each day and used to prepare a range of delicious dishes.
Specific diets can be catered for if requested in good time. Passengers on strict diets may find that there is limited choice. A 3-course vegan menu is available in the evenings on voyages of 12-days.
Most Hurtigruten ships along the Norwegian coast have an Expedition Team who undertake special activities on board such as lectures and presentations, on-deck guiding as well as hikes and outdoor activities in many ports. The majority of activities take place both inside the ships and out on deck and are designed around the season you’re sailing in. Hurtigruten aims to get guests closer to unique environments.
Visa, American Express, MasterCard and Diners Card are all accepted as payment options on board. Norwegian Kroner (NOK) is the on board currency.
Laundry rooms with washing machines, dryers and irons are available on all ships. Tokens can be purchased at reception.
The official languages on board are Norwegian and English, though some service crew also speak German. The majority of shore excursions are guided in two or three languages.
Yes, wireless internet is available on board for a small fee, unless already included in your Select or Platinum fare.
It is not common practice to tip on Hurtigruten ships on the coastal voyage. If you feel that crew members should be rewarded for providing exceptional service, tip boxes are placed in the restaurant together with envelopes.
