  • 4 days ‘off ship’ exploring: Antarctica (3), South Shetlands (1)
  • Inclusion of 1 pre-cruise night and 2 post cruise nights in Punta Arenas creates a sensible buffer in case of flight delays
  • One of the smallest expedition ships operating in Antarctica, enabling you to have longer excursions off the ship
  • Antarctic operational experience since 2012
  • An excellent expedition guide to guest ratio of 1:8
  • Opportunity to get involved with citizen science projects
  • Optional one-off kayaking activity available  (additional charge)

Landmarks potentially visited on Antarctica: Fly The Drake Passage

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.
