Which is the best
Antarctica cruise route
out of Ushuaia?

I recommend taking either
the short or long itinerary
  see page 1 for route descriptions

The Falkland Islands has some interesting facets, but overall, not enough to warrant the extra sailing time.

However, if you're heading to South George Island, you might as well visit the Falkland Islands because the extra cruising time it entails is relatively small.

Other
departure ports

A minority of Antarctica cruises depart from other South American ports, including
