Encounter the 7th continent in comfort! Substituting the 2-day Drake passing, with a 2 hour flight, you can experience the incredible wildlife, stunning mountain scenery and gigantic icebergs in record time and comfort.
Duration: 8 days
Starts: Punta Arenas, Chile
Ends: Punta Arenas, Chile
Language: English Speaking Voyage
Departing from Punta Arenas in Chile, you fly across the mighty Drake Passage and land at King George Island. From here you embark the wonderful ship and navigate around the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic peninsula. Throughout the following days you will be making Zodiac landings at penguin rookeries and fascinating lookouts. Continuing southward, deep into the inlets of Antarctica, you pass the famous Gerlache Strait, where 3000-ft ice cliffs rise straight out of the still water. Experiencing so much of the remote continent in comfort, and in so few days, is only possible in “Fly the Drake”.
Any voyage to Antarctica is an adventure, but this cruise offers a unique experience for the few. Shore landings, excursions, lectures and Zodiac safaris are easily accommodated to help you enjoy an unrivalled expedition experience. Onboard the brand new strong, ice-classed expedition vessel, Ocean Albatros, it is sure to get close to the dramatic coastlines. Zodiac cruising and shore landings are an important and considerable part of the planned itinerary, hopefully enabling all expedition guests to set foot on the Antarctic continent, as well as the many surrounding islands.
