Antarctica Air Cruise

Take a scheduled flight to George Island in the South Shetland Islands. 

As you step off the plane, let the clean Antarctic air fill your lungs along with the excitement of the journey ahead. You will walk past Chile’s Frei Station and Russia’s Bellingshausen Station to reach the shore and board a Zodiac directly to The Magellan Explorer waiting to take you to the Antarctic Peninsula. 

The Magellan Explorer is a great choice if you want a luxury cruise in Antarctica without the Drake Passage crossing. This small luxury exploration vessel has a capacity for just 73 guests in seven cabin categories and 10 zodiac boats for accessing land. On board, there is an impressive gym a sauna, an indoor and outdoor observation deck, and a well-stocked library. Most cabins feature a private balcony and sitting area, and the interiors are calm and contemporary throughout the ship.

Sail between the South Shetland Islands and the western coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.

Each day you will disembark by Zodiac and explore the landscape together with expert polar guides. No two days are the same, and the Captain will plan the route according to the wildlife and weather opportunities at the time. Your voyage may include visits to sites in the South Shetland Islands, the Antarctic Sound, the Gerlache Strait, and the Penola Strait. What can be guaranteed is that the wildlife and landscape you will encounter throughout your journey will be unforgettable. 

When you are on board a range of educational presentations will be offered to broaden your knowledge and understanding of the region. Enjoy spectacular views from the observation lounge or relax in your cabin and watch the world float past.
