How Antarctica Fly & Cruise Voyages Work
1. Arrival in Punta Arenas
Your journey begins in Punta Arenas, the Chilean gateway city for Fly & Cruise departures. This is where the expedition comes together before heading south. Guests typically arrive the day before the flight to Antarctica, settle into their hotel, and attend a pre-departure briefing and gear check ahead of the next day’s flight. It’s a chance to prepare, meet fellow travelers, and get ready for the adventure ahead.
2. Fly to Antarctica
The next step is one of the most distinctive parts of the experience: your flight to Antarctica. From Punta Arenas, you’ll fly south to King George Island in around two hours. From there, you’ll continue to the shoreline and transfer by Zodiac to Ocean Nova, where your expedition begins. It’s a memorable arrival that sets the tone for the journey ahead.
3. Explore Antarctica
Once aboard Ocean Nova, the experience becomes a classic Antarctic expedition. Days are shaped by conditions and guided by the expedition team, with opportunities for Zodiac cruising, shore landings, wildlife encounters, and exploration of the Antarctic Peninsula. With just 70 guests onboard, the atmosphere feels personal and immersive – a small-ship experience designed to bring you closer to Antarctica’s landscapes, wildlife, and extraordinary sense of place.
