Highlights

Fly over the Drake Passage

Fly from the southernmost part of Chile into a world of incredible extremes, with your first glimpses of the Antarctica being from the air. Skipping the Drake Passage voyage, arrive in the captivating King George Island, your unforgettable introduction to the South Shetland Islands.

Discover the enigmatic South Shetland Islands

Traversing the volcanic archipelago of Antarctica, the ports in this area once hosted established whaling stations and were used by explorers as a base to venture further into the Antarctic. Deception Island has the biggest reputation, the eerie land formation being home to an active volcano and penguin colonies in their hundreds of thousands.

Cross the Antarctic Circle

With more time you can travel further into Antarctic waters. Crossing the Antarctic Circle is a major achievement. Celebrate with a glass of champagne as you marvel at the efforts to reach the southernmost scenes in the world.
