Antarctic Express - Fly South & North
This Peregrine journey takes us to one of the world's most awe-inspiring destinations skipping the Drake Passage with return flights from Punta Arenas to King George Island. The voyage begins at After making shore visits on our way through the South Shetland Islands we arrive at the Antarctic Peninsula, on the continent of Antarctica, to be immediately dazzled by perhaps the most dramatic scenery to be found anywhere on earth. Sailing aboard our well-appointed expedition vessel, we witness Antarctic nature in all its glory. These areas boast an extraordinary abundance of wildlife, including five species of seals and massive rookeries of gentoo, Adelie and chinstrap penguins as well as a profusion of seabirds ranging from albatross to skuas. Another wildlife highlight may well be observing a variety of magnificent whales in close proximity as they crest the surface of the waves. On the 'White Continent', we also see remarkable landscapes of ice.
Weather, ice and other mitigating factors may result in changes to our itinerary and alteration to certain shore excursions.
