Your journey begins in Lima, where coastal elegance meets a rich culinary heritage, before venturing into the heart of the Andes. Explore the Sacred Valley, where traditional life continues much as it has for centuries, and stand before the awe-inspiring citadel of Machu Picchu, one of the world’s most remarkable archaeological sites. Continue to Cusco, once the capital of the Inca Empire, where layered history reveals itself through ancient stonework, colonial architecture and vibrant local culture. From here, transition to the cosmopolitan energy of Buenos Aires, where European influences and Latin passion come together in a city of grand boulevards, art and music. Your journey then turns toward the edge of the world. Fly south to Ushuaia and step aboard your ultra-luxury Scenic Discovery Yacht, where your Antarctic expedition begins. Over the days that follow, Antarctica reveals itself in ever-changing forms, immense glaciers, sculpted icebergs and wildlife encounters that unfold at nature’s pace. Watch whales surface in icy waters, observe vast penguin colonies along remote shores, and set out on Zodiac and kayak excursions guided by your expert Discovery Team. For a truly elevated perspective, optional helicopter and submersible experiences offer rare access to this extraordinary environment^.
