Antarctica - Magellan Explorer

Overflight of the Drake Passage & expedition cruise on board the brand new Magellan Explorer to Antarctica

If you want to go to Antarctica, you know that there is a passage in the very south of Argentina and Chile that can be treacherous: The notorious Drake Passage between the southern tip of South America and the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. Here you have to be seaworthy until you have calmer waters under your keel again. How good that you can now bypass this strait, which is not very comfortable for many, very quickly and easily - or fly over it. Which itinerary with the brand new Magellan Explorer on the three main itineraries is your favourite way to enjoy your personal Antarctic expedition? Classic Antarctica, Polar Circle Cruise or Antarctic Express Cruise? Antarctica 21 is the world's first operator of Fly&Sail expeditions to Antarctica. From Punta Arenas, you can reach King George Island in just over two hours by plane. There you will board the Magellan Explorer, a unique expedition ship that has been converted by experts precisely for this type of travel combination.

"You don't just experience something very special en route. This trip to the South Polar region in Antarctica is very special in many respects. The destination, the unspoilt and majestic Antarctic with its eternal ice, is of course particularly special. But the way to get there is also unique: experience the world's first air cruise to the white continent and reach Antarctica by the fastest and most direct route! You will cross the legendary but stormy Drake Passage in just a few hours by plane and land on King Georges Island directly in Antarctica. After all, it's about being in Antarctica - not getting there. Also special: On board the top modern and brand new Magellan Explorer, you will enjoy particularly good service and comfort, combined with adventure, activities such as kayaking and other outdoor activities as well as nature experiences that will remain in your memory forever."
