Landmarks potentially visited on Antarctic Express Fly & Cruise

NOTE: While choosing to fly to/from Antarctica is the most expedient option, it's also more weather dependent than travelling by ship across the Drake Passage. Charter flights to/from Antarctica operate on a very flexible schedule to accommodate the changeable weather conditions. As a result, flight timings may be brought forward or delayed to ensure safe operating conditions. To discuss in more detail, please get in touch. This itinerary is for guidance only, as each voyage will vary depending on ice and weather conditions as well as taking advantage of impromptu wildlife opportunities.

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