May I know if there is an option to cruise and fly instead of travelling both ways by sea?

This itinerary can only bei done by crossing the Drake twice. But no worries: So many people did this and many times the Drake is just like a tiny lake. You can do this!

  I'm looking for Antarctica trips which crosses the polar circle with less duration. I would like to know if the below trip crosses the circle or not?
- InventiaOperator•Written November 2024
  No, the mentioned one does not cross the circle. Take a look at these ones which DO cross the circle with very reasonable rates and shorter.
