Antarctic cruises with shore excursions

In the gateway ports — Ushuaia, Punta Arenas, the Falklands — operators offer classic day tours: Tierra del Fuego National Park, penguin reserves, estancia visits, city highlights. They are a practical way to use embarkation day or a Stanley port call.

These are paid town excursions rather than expedition activities; polar landings and Zodiac cruises are included in the fare.
