Landmarks potentially visited on Sail & Fly Antarctica in Style

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.
