This 8-day, 7-night voyage combines the excitement of a direct flight to Antarctica with the convenience of exploring the white continent aboard a modern expedition ship. It`s an innovative way to experience Antarctica, avoiding the traditional two-day crossing through the turbulent Drake Passage. Instead, it`s a two-hour flight from Punta Arenas, in the far south of Chile, to King George Island, in the heart of Antarctica.
Once in Antarctica, you`ll board an exclusive boutique cruise, designed to provide an up-close and personal experience with this unique environment. The reduced capacity ship allows you to reach remote locations inaccessible to larger vessels, optimizing landings and ensuring you can spend more time exploring on foot and observing the stunning local wildlife such as penguins, seals, whales, and seabirds.
During the tour, you`ll sail among glaciers, fjords, and breathtaking landscapes, all while enjoying the comfort of the ship, with high-quality accommodation, excellent cuisine, expertly guided polar activities, and a relaxed atmosphere. It`s an all-inclusive experience that allows for total immersion without worrying about logistical details.
The program is low in physical demand, although the cold temperatures and terrain conditions require suitable clothing. The trip begins before 2:00 PM on the first day (time to be confirmed) and ends at 12:00 PM, after breakfast on the last day.
This expedition is designed for those who dream of discovering Antarctica in a different way: faster, more comfortable and deeply unforgettable.
