That was a wonderful full coverage of the experience of doing the Drake passage.. thank you, I feel more prepared now, but obviously hoping for Drake Lake!

I agree with you.

Just FYI, all Antarctic cruises do not leave from Ushuaia. Some leave from Puerto Williams. So sorry you experienced such a rough Drake Passage! I’m going in 2024 and will not leave home without my seasickness medicine.

We went in January 2023. My husband was sick as a dog, as well as half of the other passengers. I was totally fine. It was the same coming back. Definitely Drake Shake. We took Hurtigruten- it was amazing.

Just did the inaugural Chilean Fjords cruise on this ship….and had 7 meter waves one night…the crew said the biggest was Drakes with 9 meter waves. Now wave height is just one aspect of how bad it is, frequency and length, rollers, etc. are all factors in how bad it can get. I can tell you that this ship shuddered at times, almost feeling like it was stopped for a second, hard to walk and no way you could shower. This is a sturdy ship built for up to 10 meters, after that, well one rouge wave and you have a very bad day.

That is ruff! I watched another documentary on it where it said by the early 1900's some 800 ships had been lost on the Drake Passage and more than 10,000 sailors lost their lives. I imagine those waves just finally pound those old school sail boats to pieces or flood them.

That is a good idea if you want to avoid the seasickness. The expedition boat is small and bounces a lot. In my observation, more than 90% of passengers were seaseack, including me. But the seasick pillls helped.

not only do i want to visit the drake passage, i also want to do donuts and u-turns for hours straight right in the middle of the strong currents

Of course! If you take not an expedition cruise but a regular cruise, you will not go into the zodiacs. In this case, it will be much cheaper and safer.
