This air-cruise to Antarctica with Antarctica21 is a unique and extraordinary adventure and is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that offers guests the opportunity to explore the pristine beauty of Antarctica while enjoying the company of fellow adventurers and expert polar guides.

The trip starts with a warm welcome by the staff in Punta Arenas, Chile, followed by a mandatory briefing at Explorers House to review essential guidelines for Antarctic visitors. After a welcome dinner, guests fly to George Island in the South Shetland Islands and board a Zodiac to reach their boutique expedition vessel.

For the next four days, guests explore Antarctica by sailing along ice-filled fjords and among spectacular icebergs while enjoying the company of seabirds, penguins, seals, and whales. Expert polar guides lead daily disembarkations by Zodiac to explore the varied Antarctic environment, and guests can attend engaging educational presentations onboard the ship while sharing their daily adventures with fellow guests.

The itinerary is flexible, allowing the Expedition Team to adjust the voyage route to take advantage of the ever-changing opportunities provided by nature. Guests may explore several sites, including those in the South Shetland Islands, the Antarctic Sound, the Gerlache Strait, and the Penola Strait.

On day 7, guests return to King George Island and board the flight back to Punta Arenas. After transferring to their hotel for the night, meals in Punta Arenas are at their leisure and not included in the program. The air-cruise concludes on day 8, with a transfer to the Punta Arenas airport for onward flights.
