Part luxury cruise ship, part expedition vessel, Stella Australis is the only ship built specifically to navigate the remote fjords of Patagonia at the furthest tip of South America. On her last voyage of the season, Stella’s Captain faces off against tight corridors and the notorious Drake Passage – the roughest, most unpredictable seas on the planet. Meanwhile, the ship’s expedition leader scrambles to guide his guests ashore safely through ice-filled waters, seeking out spectacular glaciers, elusive seals and a landing on Cape Horn, known for centuries as the End of the World.

Enjoying great success in music, film, television, and the stage, Dean Martin was less an entertainer than an icon, the eternal essence of cool. A member of the legendary Rat Pack, he lived and died the high life of booze, broads and bright lights, always projecting a sense of utter detachment and serenity; along with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr. and the other chosen few who breathed the same rarefied air, Martin – highball and cigarette always firmly in hand – embodied the glorious excess of a world long gone, a world without rules or consequences.

One disaster after another happens on this trans-Pacific flight. You have the pilot who loses his nerve! The washed-up co-pilot. The milquetoast flight engineer. The young hot shot second officer. And a cabin full of passengers with every range of problems and personalities there could possibly be. Here you have the Duke in a role he didn't want, and a movie with the title song that became Duke's theme. What else could any John Wayne fan want? It's all here, and then some.
