Journey Highlights
Punta Arenas and King George Island Flight Connection
- Antarctica21's air-cruise pattern uses Punta Arenas and King George Island flight arrangements to reduce or replace part of the Drake Passage sailing time.
- Flight timing, baggage handling, hotel briefings, transfer sequence and embarkation or disembarkation flow are subject to Antarctic weather and the operator's final documents.
Antarctic Circle Exploration
- The voyage is designed to explore the Antarctic Circle, allowing a deeper southern peninsula rhythm when weather and ice permit.
- Reaching a latitude target is never guaranteed; the captain and expedition team adjust the route for safety, ice and the best available experience.
Zodiac Cruising, Landings and Expedition Team
- When conditions allow, the expedition team may arrange Zodiac cruising, shore landings, brief walks, naturalist interpretation and photography opportunities.
- All activities follow daily safety briefings, environmental rules, weather, ice and the ship team's announcements.
Icebergs, Glaciers and Antarctic Wildlife
- The route offers opportunities for icebergs, glaciers, snowy mountains, penguin habitat, seals, seabirds and possible whale observations.
- Wildlife sightings and viewing distance cannot be guaranteed and follow protection rules and the ship team's instructions.
