Overview
A journey shaped by conditions, not a script.
This express itinerary is built for travellers with limited time who still want the full force of Antarctica. A charter flight from Punta Arenas places you near the South Shetlands, where your ship becomes a private platform for landings, wildlife, and ice exploration.
Fly across the Drake Passage in roughly two hours.
Maximize time in Antarctic waters over a shorter trip window.
Sail sheltered channels with daily landing attempts.
Ideal for milestone travellers balancing time and comfort.
