NOTE: While choosing to fly to/from Antarctica is the most expedient option, it's also more weather dependent than travelling by ship across the Drake Passage. Charter flights to/from Antarctica operate on a very flexible schedule to accommodate the changeable weather conditions. As a result, flight timings may be brought forward or delayed to ensure safe operating conditions. To discuss in more detail, please get in touch. This itinerary is for guidance only, as each voyage will vary depending on ice and weather conditions as well as taking advantage of impromptu wildlife opportunities.

Michael Mermall - USA

10/10 - This trip was life changing! It was the best honeymoon we could have ever asked for. The expedition team was incredible, the hotel staff were amazing and the food was to die for. We loved every moment and the amount of effort the expedition leader Hadleigh put in to get us to the best spots possible paid off every time. We had the most amazing experiences with the landings and kayaking expeditions as a result and the flight back to Punta Arenas saved so much time.

The visit to South Georgia was spectacular. The ability to see so many penguins and fur seals in their natural habitat was spectacular. But best of all were the guides. They were outstanding. They went above and beyond to make our trip both enriched and kept us safe.

Want to again compliment your shipboard staff - well led and organized and informative. I appreciated the navigational skills of your captain and top mates, and your staff particularly in their safety orientation. They did a very good job managing expectations.
