Helicopters on Antartica Cruises
Are there any other than the Quark Ultramarine and the Scenic Eclipse I/II? And any reviews on these two?
Both are slightly annoying that they only include transfer flights from Buenos Aires - I'd love to spend a couple more days in Ushuaia, but I suppose contacting a TA may help here.

Crystal also has a helicopter, or at least did prior to purchase.
I know for our trip (on Seabourn, I posted a review in this forum) not everyone took advantage of the night in BA to spend more time in Ushuaia, they just arranged their own flights down and met the ship at the pier.
Me - I was okay with the time we had to explore the town. Really exploring Patagonia will be another trip in the future, the focus of this one was getting onto the ship and getting south.

Looks like it was removed on the Silver Endeavor, unfortunately:

Agreed. Ushuaia is very mediocre, and pales in comparison to what you'd see elsewhere in Patagonia.
