DAY 1: Pre-departure stay in Buenos Aires
Stay in a hotel Overnight.
Day 2: Buenos Aires to Ushuaia by Charter Flight, followed by Embarkation on board
Embarking on a voyage through the legendary Drake Passage is a rare and captivating experience that only a select few are fortunate enough to undertake. The rugged landscapes of the southern tip of the Americas provide a dramatic backdrop, but it’s the gradual disappearance of the distant cliffs marking the ‘End of the World’ that truly evokes a sense of awe, mystery, and enchantment. As you set sail from Cape Horn, the feeling of venturing towards the unknown, towards Antarctica’s icy realm, is nothing short of extraordinary.
For those apprehensive about crossing the Drake Passage, rest assured that even amid turbulent seas, you’ll find solace in the company of soaring albatrosses and perhaps even a protective pod of humpback whales or hourglass dolphins. The convergence of warm and cool ocean currents creates an environment teeming with spectacular marine life.
Day 3 & 4: Drake Passage
The voyage across the Drake Passage is a remarkable odyssey steeped in the lore of maritime adventure. As you approach Antarctica, colossal icebergs salute your arrival, heralding your entry into a realm where snow and ice are the dominant features, and creatures like penguins and whales roam freely. Your initial encounter with this uncharted territory will likely occur at the South Shetland Islands. Here, you can trace the footsteps of history’s most illustrious and daring explorers while exploring renowned, snow-covered landmasses such as Elephant and Deception Island. For those embarking on their inaugural journey to this magical continent, it’s advisable to peruse our blog tailored for first-time visitors to Antarctica, ensuring you’re well-prepared for the adventure that awaits.
Day 5: Exploring the South Shetland Islands
Day 6, 7 & 8 : Exploring the Antarctic Peninsula
The Antarctic Peninsula unravels upwards towards South America, reaching out a beckoning finger to the adventurous, who dare to explore this untamed realm. Stretching up from the heart of the world’s southernmost continent, the Antarctic Peninsula lies a mere 620 miles from Tierra del Fuego and, for many, offers a spectacular first taste of the snow-blanketed landscapes and colossal ice sculptures, which make up Earth’s least-explored continent. Unseen by humans until 1820—a blink of an eye ago in relative terms—this is an adventure sure to make your hairs stand on end, as you experience the thrill of the truly unknown and extraordinary. The vast peninsula is sprinkled with research bases, which are at the frontline of human scientific endeavour, pushing to study and understand this unique landscape, its exceptional wildlife, and the impact that humans are having on this pristine continent. Witness cathedral-sized icebergs up close, and blue-hued glaciers, slowly slipping from imposing locations like Hope Bay. Blanched mountain peaks cover the peninsula, and you’ll find thousands of adorable Adelie penguin pairs thriving undisturbed in this peninsula’s unique setting.
Day 9: Drake Passage (Christmas Celebration)
Day 10 & 11: Drake Passage, Arrival in Ushuaia, Argentina
Sailing across the Drake Passage to Ushuaia is one of the most iconic and adventurous sea journeys on Earth. During the crossing, it’s common to see an incredible array of wildlife: wandering albatrosses soaring overhead, pods of dolphins playing in the ship’s wake, and even breaching whales in the distance. Onboard, travelers can enjoy expert-led lectures about Antarctic history, wildlife, and ecology, as well as relax in lounges, observation decks, or wellness areas while watching the Southern Ocean unfold around them.
27th Dec – Arrival in Ushuaia – Disembarkation – Charter to Buenos Aires
Nestled between the Martial Mountains and the Beagle Channel, this Argentine port town welcomes travelers back to civilization with stunning views, warm local hospitality, and a deep sense of accomplishment. The Drake Passage crossing is a story you’ll carry with you for life.

It’s all about you – the way our guests see us
, Destinations : Brazil–Peru
To HP, Shefali and Team KV,
After finishing our Brazil–Peru trip, the feeling of what we’ve done in the last fifteen days is really sinking in.
Suddenly we’re all realising what a tour it truly was, two countries, seven internal flights (some at really odd times!), great shows, local cuisines, finding amazing Indian food restaurants in Brazil and Peru, the Amazon experience, climbing Machu Picchu, a helicopter ride to see the great waterfalls of Iguazu, experiencing the cultures of both countries… and above all, finding and making new friends.
All of this has been possible because of the KV Team.
This was my second trip with you guys, the first one being Japan, which was another great experience and we’re surely going to see the world many more times with you.
All the best, and looking forward to many more experiences.
, Destinations : Vietnam
Dear Members,
Glad to inform that we reached safely last night at 10:30 pm. The trip is fantastic and organised in a very friendly way as if it is a family function.
The itinerary, hotels, buses, drivers and local guides all are excellent and made us feel at home all through the journey.
Bhaskar, the Tour Manager made our trip memorable, with dedication, commitment without any compromise on any matter. Bhasker made everybody feel as if he is our family member so caring and loving all the way. He always remained with us, be it a cave, a tunnel or water sport and instilled confidence in us to move forward.
We are eager to take up our next tour to Japan with Kare Voyage. I started sharing our experiences with like minded persons in Hyderabad
I wish the Company”Kare Voyage” and Bhaskar all the best in their endeavour to serve the tourists quench their thirst for seeing places world wide.
, Destination : Antarctica
The experience of the Antarctica cruise was unforgettable. Luxury and concern were the hallmarks of the cruise company and KareVoyage who made all the travel arrangements under the superbly watchful eye of Shefali Jain Mishra must be commended for no detail being too small for their attention and no want being too large for them to handle.
Shefali’s warmth had the right blend of making you feel independent yet not taking her eye off the ball as seniors do need and expect. All in all KareVoyage is highly recommended for seniors’ travel.
, Destination : Japan
Thank you everyone for making the Japan holiday so wonderful. Have got used to the vibrant noise, laughter and chatter so much, this morning things seemed too quiet and flat.
Special thanks to H. P. for his highly competent and successful herding.
Congratulations!

Karevoyage please keep up the great work Loads of love and blessings to your entire team. 💝🥳👌

, Destinations : South Africa, New Zealand, Kashmir, Georgia- Azerbaijan
We had a wonderful trip to Cambodia and Vietnam. All credit goes to the KareVoyage team. They took care of all our small needs. It was really happy moment when KareVoyage team supported one of our dear co-travelers to get all travel documents within short time when she lost her passport just couple of days before the end of our trip. We got more than we expected from this trip.
, Destination : Maldives
Maldives was my dream destination and being there amongst wonderful people fulfilled it totally.
Thanks to KareVoyage for such a well organised trip. Sheetal our group leader took care of every detail to see we were comfortable n enjoyed our trip. Her photography has given us great memories to cherish.
, Destination: Gujarat (Dwarka, Somnath, Gir National Park)
You had made very sincere effort to make this trip a memorable experience which indeed it was. The planning and execution were commendable. What impressed me was the way you took care of the elderly and those who needed some support. The tour was paced well to take into account the age group and you had also ensured that those who were fit did have activities to keep them engaged like the morning trek for bird watching and the visit to a tribal house at the Gir resort.
, Destination: Mediterranean Cruise ( Spain, Italy, Monaco, France)
We my husband Ranjit and I went on a Mediterranean Cruise with KareVoyage. Wonderfully arranged and with superb shore excursions at all places . The itinenary was well planned covering most places of interest and the choice of guides was spot on. Finally at Barcelona we had a surprise package of Flamenco dance, dinner on the side walk, visits to winery and medieval quaint towns around Barcelona. It was not just a pleasure tour but also a fantastic learning experience because of the guides. They took great care and went out of their way to see we were comfortable. We highly recommend KaraVoyage . Do go with KareVoyage and you are sure to come back with stars in your eyes. All the best.
