Fly & Cruise

Fly across the Drake Passage and start your expedition in Antarctica

Antarctic Air Cruise © Valentina Contreras

A Fly & Cruise expedition, also called air cruise, is the most comfortable way to reach Antarctica. Instead of spending two days crossing the often turbulent Drake Passage by ship, you’ll take a short flight from Chile, to King George Island off the coast of Antarctica. There, your expedition ship awaits, ready to show you the wonders of the Antarctic Peninsula. Fly & Cruise voyages provide the perfect blend of efficiency, comfort, and authentic exploration.

Fly & Cruise Antarctica

Once landed, you step directly into the action. During your expedition, you’ll explore the South Shetland Islands and parts of the Antarctic Peninsula. Zodiac excursions and shore landings bring you closer to wildlife and ice formations, while the expedition team shares insights through lectures and briefings. Every day is shaped by nature, making each Fly & Cruise unique and unforgettable.

Choosing a Fly & Cruise option is especially appealing if you want to experience Antarctica aboard a small expedition ship. By flying over the Drake Passage, you avoid a multi day crossing which can sometimes be challenging on smaller ships. This approach saves time and avoids the discomfort of rough seas, allowing you to focus on what matters most: exploring Antarctica’s breathtaking landscapes and wildlife.

Fly & Cruise Options

The starting and ending points of our Antarctic Fly & Cruise voyages vary depending on the ship and departure date you select. Some itineraries begin or end in Punta Arenas, while others in Puerto Natales. Certain voyages include flights both ways (Fly-Fly), while others combine a flight in one direction with a sea voyage to or from Ushuaia (Fly-Sail or Sail-Fly).
