Antarctica is the planet's southernmost continent and the coldest. Uninhabited for the most part due its hostile, frigid environment it is nevertheless an appealing and sought after tourist destination due its southerly location, incredible icescapes and population of exotic marine animals including many species of penguins, blue whales, orcas and fur seals. With a total area of over 5 million square miles, 98% of the continent is covered in ice some of which is almost one mile thick.

We are now working with the first company to organize air cruises over Antarctica. These exciting air and sea cruise combination trips ensure you see the most of this immense landscape both from the air and the sea. Jumping over Cape Horn and the mythical Drake Passage, we invite you to take part in a unique experience that takes you to the one of the most remote places on earth.

We have published details of our five day trip here but trips of seven and eight days are also available starting in both Punta Arenas in southern Chile and Ushuaia in southern Argentina. Contact us for prices, departure dates and day by day itineraries for the other trips. Bear in mind the possibility of linking your Chile and Argentina adventures by boarding the boat in Punta Arenas and disembarking in Ushuaia or vice versa.

Your flying time is combined with three or four days sailing along ice-filled fjords and past spectacular icebergs. Enjoying the incredible scenery and in the company of penguins, seabirds, seals, sealions and whales there are plenty of opportunities for landings and cruises in zodiacs along with natural history lectures.

These expeditions are a great extension to your overland adventure and a genuine once in a lifetime experience.
