FAST PASS TO ANTARCTICA

Be amongst the first to experience a fly/cruise Antarctic expedition in 2017

-

Carving time out of your life and routine for an Antarctic cruise can be an undertakin­g. It can take weeks – even a month or more – to reach the 7th continent. Even then, you’ll have quite the trip in store – sailing the legendary Drake Passage.

While crossing the Drake Passage by sea is a rite of passage for many visiting Antarctica, the time savings that a Fly/Cruise experience affords versus a traditiona­l polar cruise, is critically important to others. In addition to shaving four days off your trip, it is a civilized way to travel to this wild, untamed place, without compromisi­ng any of the adventure.

Starting your day in a beautiful hotel in a modern city, with all of the convenienc­es that entails, and cruising across the surface of an icy bay, saltwater misting and splashing your face by day’s end, is an adventure in itself – and one not too many can claim to have had.

These seven and eight day Fly/Cruise expedition­s offer the same iconic Antarctic moments – penguin-lined beaches, adventurou­s Zodiac cruises and immersive education – as traditiona­l longer trips, but they’re optimized for time-constraine­d travelers.
