My husband and I booked this trip last year when we head about the new rules about big ships heading to Antarctica. Neither of us are overly adventurous, so the thought of taking a Zodiac to do landings didn't appeal to us. This cruise looked perfect for what we wanted, and it turned out better than we could have ever imagined!

We took the most "direct" flight available and flew Toronto-Santiago-BA with Air Canada. Santiago is a quick stop where everyone deplanes. Pretty straight forward. Upgraded to Executive First and had a great sleep in an (almost) bed. Arrived in Buenos Aires the afternoon of Saturday the 29th at approximately 5pm. The airport in Buenos Aires was a little chaotic but straight forward and easy to navigate. We paid $150US for an entry visa for the two of us.

We stayed at HOJO Recoleta Saturday night and arranged to see a Tango Show, Querandi. The show was alright, there was more singing and instrumental numbers than I expected but the Tango dancing was amazing. The meal was the worst I had in the entire two weeks, not worth the $100USpp. Sunday morning before embarkation we tour a tour with Pedro Werberg. We visited an almost empty Recoleta Cemetery which was amazing, and then spent some time in Caminito and shopping. Read more
