Operator's Itinerary

Landmarks potentially visited on Fly & Cruise Polar Circle

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 - The ability to sail farther south and having more time to spend on outings or landings as opposed to spending limited vacation days in transit.

Most memorable moment? Seeing the penguins jump in and out of the water with a humpback whale swimming nearby and seals all on a sunny calm day while we are a few feet away on a zodiac.

10/10 - It was quick compared to doing the Drake Passage. Accommodations and food on board were excellent, and all the wildlife that we saw.

10/10 - I am prone to getting seasick so flying to the Antarctica Peninsula solved my problems. The flying also saved me 4 days of vacation days! Crossing the circle made our trip much more memorable!!

Most memorable moment? A day on the zodiac with Alex where we spent time with a pod of 4 humpback whales surrounding our boat, plus the polar plunge and everything else which came with this amazing adventure!
