Small Ship Cruises & Expeditions

Antarctica Express

Short on time? Fly before you cruise

Skip the four days cruising the Drake Passage crossing as you optimise your Antarctic experience by flying to Antarctica! A short two-hour flight is all it takes to travel between Punta Arenas, Chile and King George Island. Once in Antarctica, you'll board your expedition ship before wasting no time in being inundated with the sheer beauty and dramatic landscapes of the white continent. Within hours of departing Chile you will be on the lookout for penguins and whales in Antarctic!
