More Details
Your Antarctica Fly Cruise Adventure first begins in Chile’s capital city of Santiago.
Spend an entire day discovering the colorful port town of Valparaíso. While here, explore its flower-lined streets and Victorian architecture. Also visit the famous Flower Clock and Quinta Vergara of Viña del Mar.
En route back to Santiago, stop in the Casablanca Valley for some wine tasting at the local wineries.
Your fly cruise Antarctica journey then continues with three days in Chilean Patagonia. The stunning Singular Patagonia serves as your launching pad as you explore the region, including the fascinating Torres del Paine National Park nearby.
Additionally, enjoy hiking, biking, and horseback riding through the 37,000 acres of private nature reserve surrounding the hotel. You can also set out by boat to the nearby fjords from the hotel’s dock.
Finally, embark on the Antarctica fly cruise portion of your journey.
Bookended by overnights in Punta Arenas, your Antarctica Fly Cruise takes off with a two-hour charter flight to King George Island. Here you will embark your impressive expedition vessel. Accommodating fewer than 100 air-cruise passengers, this modern ship will serve as your Antarctic home-away-from-home on your five-day expedition.
Your Antarctica cruise takes you between the South Shetland Islands and the western coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Along the way, sail along ice-filled fjords and among spectacular icebergs.
Each day you will take Zodiac excursions from the ship to explore local bays, channels, and landing sites. With wildlife always at the forefront, you will visit penguin rookeries, scout for humpback and minke whales, and search for a number of southern seal species, including the cunning leopard seal. No Antarctica cruise is the same, so flexibility is key.
However, the onboard expedition team takes advantage of the ever-changing weather and migratory routes to provide the most exhaustive overview of the exciting Antarctic environment.
A quick flight back to Punta Arenas from King George Island allows you to once again bypass the Drake Passage and begin your journey home. We have no doubt that you will leave filled with awe from your Antarctica fly cruise adventures.
