Landmarks potentially visited on Antarctic Sail & Fly Combination

NOTE: Flying is the fastest way to return to Chile from Antarctica, and skips sailing the Drake Passage for a second time. 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.

Joanne Bown - UK

10/10 - We wanted to experience the Drake Passage (which was benign!) but didn't particularly want to spend another 2 days doing it again so this combination worked perfectly.

The expedition team were what made the trip so fantastic. They were friendly and knowledgeable. They sat with us at lunch and dinner to get to know better. They did a great job.

10/10 - This was the best option. I wanted to cruise down to Antarctica and see the continent from the boat first, and by the time the cruise was over I was ready to fly home.

Cooper McBride - USA

10/10 - Great experience with nice people and their care in looking after us. Also, it was nice to sail the Drake Passage one way but save time by flying the other way.
