Operator's Itinerary

Landmarks potentially visited on Fly & Cruise Polar Circle

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 - 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!

Above and beyond what you can expect. An orka swam right next to us and then peeked up to look at us.

The experience was great and was just like I anticipated it. It fulfilled all my wants. Visiting the 7th continent and crossing the Antarctic circle. And watching whales and penguins.
