Antarctic Express: Fly South, Sail North
Take the fastest route over the 800-km (500-mile) Drake Passage to Antarctica—a three-hour flight from Punta Arenas, Chile—and glimpse the 7th Continent from the air on our 9-day Antarctic Express: Fly South, Sail North. Then board your waiting ship at King George Island to explore Antarctica, and sail back across the Drake to Ushuaia. Flying one way and sailing the other gives you the best of both worlds. Expect unique wildlife sightings, rugged landscapes, penguins and seals—and the unforgettable excitement of standing on the Antarctic Continent for the first time.
