Landmarks potentially visited on Antarctic Express Fly & Cruise

NOTE: Flying to/from Antarctica is the fastest way to reach the White Continent, avoiding a sail crossing of the Drake Passage. However, flights are more weather dependent than travelling by ship. For safety, flight schedules may be delayed or brought forward at short notice or, in rare cases, cancelled. We recommend factoring in additional time before international flights or any plans after your expedition. Operators work hard to minimise disruption and have robust processes and guest support to manage delays, however, Antarctic travel always depends on weather, and no fly-cruise itinerary can be 100% guaranteed.

10/10. Most memorable moment? Stepping onto land with penguins, officially stepping onto my sixth continent, and cruising in the zodiac through the icebergs.
