Antarctica21
Antarctica21 is a tour operator based in Chile. We run Antarctic Air-Cruises, boutique trips that combine a flight from Chile to Antarctica with a ship-based expedition. We use a small jet and land at a gravel runway on King George Island. From there our travelers transfer to a small ship that is waiting for them directly in Antarctica. Our model avoids the unpredictable 2-day journey across the Drake Passage and replaces it with a 2-hour flight, resulting in greater comfort and speed for our customers. Antarctica21 operates Fly & Cruise Expeditions to Antarctica and Sea Voyages to Cape Horn, the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), South Georgia & Antarctica. Our trips are boutique wilderness adventures taking you to Antarctica and beyond. Enjoy small ship experiences that allow you time to explore our remote destinations.
