Fly over and sail across the legendary Drake Passage to Antarctica’s awakening shores, where spring bursts back to life at the edge of the world, rousing the polar wilderness from its long winter slumber. On this unique expedition, you’ll have the flexibility to experience Antarctica your way—sail south to the white continent and return by air to Puerto Natales, or fly in and sail back. Either way, you’ll enjoy more time to explore while still experiencing the legendary Drake Passage once, as wandering albatrosses soar overhead. As the peninsula comes into view, Antarctica stirs. Penguin colonies erupt with courtship, seals sprawl on drifting ice, and the season’s first humpbacks, minkes, orcas, and sei whales begin to appear on the edges of the pack. Around you, freshly frozen landscapes glitter with sculpted ice and brilliant blue glaciers. This is the polar wilderness at its most alive.
