A quiet, almost resigned calm settled over the ship as we all realized this adventure was coming to an end. Any lingering worries about the mighty Drake Passage have faded away, disappearing like a black‑browed albatross gliding effortlessly through Antarctic winds. By morning, the legendary Cape Horn appeared on the horizon, standing guard where three great oceans meet.

In the afternoon we gathered to show our appreciation for the incredible, hard‑working crew as the Captain hosted a farewell. Thanks to the remarkably gentle Drake conditions, we reached Ushuaia in the late afternoon, giving guests a chance to wander and explore this little city at the end of the world.
