Jon Stevens. Manu Feildel. Antarctica. November 2027.
Buenos Aires return | Departs 13 November 2027 | 14 days | Quark Expeditions
Some journeys are simply not repeatable. Our exclusive 14-day Buenos Aires and Antarctic Explorer itinerary brings you the best of the Antarctic Peninsula, paired with the elegance of cosmopolitan Buenos Aires. Jon Stevens has been one of Australia's most enduring rock voices for four decades, from Noiseworks and INXS to a solo career that has never stopped. On this voyage, you will hear him perform not in an arena or a theatre, but on a small ship in the middle of the world's last great wilderness. Manu Feildel, one of Australia's best-loved chefs, joins you as your culinary host. Best known for My Kitchen Rules, Manu brings his warmth and French flair to a foodie experience in Buenos Aires and culinary sessions on board. Music, food and Antarctica, shared with just 140 guests. This combination does not exist on any other voyage.

Our exclusive 14-day Buenos Aires and Antarctic Explorer itinerary brings you the best of the Antarctic Peninsula, paired with the elegance of cosmopolitan Buenos Aires. Your voyage explores a landscape of towering icebergs, immense glaciers and shorelines alive with wildlife. It is one of the most remarkable places on earth. In November the scenery is at its most pristine. Deep, untouched snow covers the land, and penguins are returning to their colonies to court and nest. It is a quiet, peaceful world, and standing within it is a feeling very few travellers will ever know. For many of our guests, this is the journey they have dreamed of for a lifetime.

Why Travel on a Hosted Destination HQ Journey?
With you every step of the way
We have been hosting small group journeys for over 25 years.
This is our fifth Cruising with the Stars voyage, and each one has been shaped by the same belief: that the journey itself should be as extraordinary as the destination.
Hosts who travel with you
Four members of our team travel with you for the entire journey, from Buenos Aires, through the voyage, and back to Buenos Aires again. They know the ship, they know the programme, and they are there to make sure every detail unfolds as it should.
A voyage guests return to
Our guests keep coming back, and each voyage builds on the last.
Our Quark Expeditions Svalbard Explorer voyage to the High Arctic with Daryl Braithwaite drew glowing reviews. Our Heart of Europe voyage with Kate Ceberano in August 2026 was equally well received. Our Mediterranean voyage with Delta Goodrem in August 2027 was sold out in 3 weeks.
One place for the whole journey
The voyage is the centrepiece of your trip, but it is only part of the story. We design the complete itinerary around you, so everything flows beautifully.
That includes international flights, additional sightseeing, private touring and onward travel through South America.
With everything arranged in one place, your dates align and your plans connect. Your time is spent enjoying the journey rather than managing it.
What Our Guests Say
Just a quick note to thank you and your team for providing the wonderful , spectacular Arctic trip with Daryl, it was a bucket list ticked off. Please pass on our sincere thanks to your team, especially those who sorted our overnight accommodation in Lapland at short notice, it was seamless. We look forward to another voyage in the future, so please keep us on your mailing list – David and Sue
It was a magical experience. These experiences can only come from a lot of excellent planning, coordination and execution especially when it involves more than one provider. And when things didn’t go as planned, Destination HQ went way beyond expectations to allow us to continue on the journey. Underlying all of this is the care for every customer – something that money cannot buy. Thank you Stuart and team for an incredible and unforgettable experience. Elizabeth B
I wanted to thank you personally for everything you did for us on the Quark Expedition Cruise to the Arctic. The whole trip exceeded our expectations and we are very grateful to you Sophie, Vanessa, Jo, Leanne plus all the team that kept things running back at the office while you all got to join in on the amazing adventure.

Your exclusive entertainment
Four decades of Australian rock. Three performances. One continent very few will ever see.
Jon Stevens is one of the most enduring figures in Australian rock. As the unmistakable voice of Noiseworks, he delivered the anthems of a generation — Take Me Back, Touch, Hot Chilli Woman and No Lies. From 2000 to 2005 he fronted INXS, carrying songs like Never Tear Us Apart, Don’t Change and New Sensation to audiences around the world.
More than four decades on, Jon continues to tour nationally to full houses — and in November 2027, he brings those hits somewhere no stage has ever been quite like.
Aboard World Voyager, Jon will perform three times during the voyage. These are intimate shows in a theatre shared with just 140 guests — the same songs that filled arenas, heard up close, with icebergs drifting past the window.
Renowned as an exceptional live performer, Jon brings a warmth and presence to every show. This is a rare chance to experience it in the most remarkable setting on earth
