Ushuaia - Argentina

January 31st, 2026

We arrived in port at 10:00. We have a princess excursion That gave us time to walk into town. This port had a pier, so we could walk off the ship anytime.

Ushuaia, is considered the be the most southern city in the world. There is merch with “End of the World” throughout the city. We picked up a few souvenirs. We needed to be back on the ship by noon to catch our Princess Excursion.

This excursion took us on a 1.5 hour drive to Puerto Almanza. At this southernmost fishing port in Argentina, at the mouth of the Almanza River, almost all the village is dedicated to specialized fishing, crabbing, harvesting and other seafood-related endeavors. We stop at Laguna Victoria for a snack in an ancestral site on our way to the fishing village.

Our guide took us to a restaurant called Onas. The experience was supposed show us how to prepare a true Patagonian-style king crab meal. However, all we did was sit down in a restaraunt have the king crab served to us. I would not recommend this execution. It was a long day of driving (1.5 hours each way) to sit and eat king crab.

It was 6:30pm when we got back to the pier. The ship leaves at 7:00pm, so we had plenty of time to get back. We cancelled our dinner reservation on the ship as we were still full from the King Crab Experience.

There was a delay in leaving port because of the wind. We headed out later than planned. This weather dose not look good for “Drake Lake”. ( the calmest conditions). Grape shake can be a tough time to walk around the ship. Dragon Drake is the worst condition. We are going through Drakes passage over night. Hopefully, I will not get tossed out my bed!
