TRAVELLING TO Antarctica Fly Cruise
An Antarctica Fly Cruise is perfect for travellers who are hesitant to cross the famous Drake Passage by ship or merely lacking in time to do so, yet are still keen to visit Antarctica. On your fly cruise journey, you'll fly to King George Island to begin your cruise to the Antarctic Peninsula.
This unique style of travel combines the best of an Antarctic expedition cruise with the efficiency of flying over the Drake Passage.
Why go on an Antarctic Fly Cruise expedition?
Though the journey across the ocean by ship will not be experienced, the majesty of Antarctica awaits all fly cruise travellers. Arrive first in the wildlife-rich South Shetland Islands before your expedition to Antarctica takes place.
It takes two full days, in each direction, to cross the famed Drake Passage, so cruising one or both legs frees up valuable time, ideal for travellers on tight schedules. It's also a popular choice to explorers who are concerned about seasickness.
Experience all the highlights of an Antarctica tour – ethereal landscapes, imposing icebergs, and our planet’s most incredible eco-system. An Antarctica Fly Cruise will change you.
