Stay onboard Magellan Explorer

The Magellan Explorer is a good choice for anyone wanting to skip 4 cruising days of the Drake Passage crossing. One of the few fly-cruise options available, this luxury ship in Antarctica has a capacity for 73 guests in seven cabin categories and 10 zodiac boats for accessing land excursions. On board, there is an impressive gym operated by Anytime Fitness, a sauna, an indoor and outdoor observation deck, and a well-stocked library. The newest member of Antarctica 21’s fleet, Magellan Explorer is one of the most luxurious Antarctic ships on these waters.

Most cabins feature a private balcony and sitting area and the decor is calm and contemporary throughout the ship. The glass-enclosed observation lounge and presentation room with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment provide an immersive experience of the landscape even when you are on board. The spacious and stylish dining room serves a buffet-style breakfast and lunch can be enjoyed on the barbecue deck if weather permits. Dinner is table service.

Why we love it

One of the only fly-cruise options in Antarctica that takes out the Drake Passage crossing.
This small expedition vessel feels more like a private yacht, offering direct access to parts of the Antarctic shore that larger ships struggle to reach.
Spacious cabins in all categories, and most have a private balcony with floor-to-ceiling windows.

This was the best travel company we have every worked with. Every single detail was organised, well thought out. I didn’t have to worry about any transfers, lines, yours, or tickets. They had everything arranged for me and organised on an app. Molly was the best. I highly recommend them especially traveling with three kids across Europe you want to have everything arranged in advance. They even found kid friendly tours which my kids loved! Their itinerary was so detailed and organised it made the traveling easy and so enjoyable.
