Was die Reise besonders macht
MG Tourism connects the gateway hotel, private transfers, expedition cruise and onward travel into one protected plan. The programme is deliberately detailed yet flexible: the captain and expedition leader change landings whenever ice, wind, wildlife or safety requires it.
Penguin colonies, glacier fronts and Zodiac-level views
One coordinated plan from the Ushuaia hotel to the return flight
