Antarctica
National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions offers travelers an 8, 9, and 10-day option for the Antarctica Direct: Fly the Drake Passage journeys and a 10-Day option for the Antarctica Direct: Sail and Fly the Drake Passage.
The Fly the Drake Passage options offer the most time-efficient travel to and from Antarctica. The Sail and Fly the Drake Passage option cruises the Drake Passage one way, and then bypass the Drake Passage on the way back on a two-hour flight from Antarctica. Sail aboard the intimately scaled National Geographic Explorer and National Geographic Orion vessels, ships purpose-built for polar exploration.
“On my first visit to Antarctica, I didn't sleep for two days - I was so mesmerized as our ship crunched through the sea ice. It was unending ice. The size, the shapes, the color.”
