Operator's Itinerary

Landmarks potentially visited on Antarctic Fly & Cruise Safari

NOTE: Important note on fly-cruise itineraries: Flying to/from Antarctica is the fastest way to reach the White Continent, avoiding a sail crossing of the Drake Passage. However, flights between Patagonia and Antarctica are more weather dependent than voyages travelling entirely by ship. To operate safely, charter flight schedules may be adjusted, delayed or occasionally brought forward at short notice in response to weather conditions. In rare cases, flights may be significantly disrupted or cancelled. For this reason, we strongly recommend allowing flexibility in your onward travel plans and building in time buffers before international flights or important commitments after your expedition. Operators work hard to minimise disruption and have robust operational processes and guest support in place to help manage delays. However, Antarctic travel always depends on weather, and no fly-cruise itinerary can be guaranteed.
