Antarctica tops many travel bucket lists but tales of the dreaded Drake Passage put many people off. With this itinerary, you don't need to worry about that as you'll enjoy a domestic flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas, followed by a charter flight from Punta Arenas directly into King George Island where you'll board your ship, refreshed and ready to explore!
From there, you'll spend 6 days cruising the Antarctic Sound, Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands, discovering majestic icebergs, huge glaciers, impressive mountains and looking out for a variety of exciting rare wildlife including penguins and albatrosses.
During the day, there is usually a choice of excursions - either hiking or cruising aboard the Zodiac's with the expert Silversea Expedition team. Each Antarctic voyage is different and excursions are tailored to make the most of the moment depending what wildlife viewing opportunities are available. Your expedition team are on hand to impart their knowledge and point out the different species and behaviours that you will witness and make sure you get the most out of your encounters.
On board, you will want for nothing with luxurious staterooms, impeccable service and exquisite dining throughout your cruise. Come back after a day's exploration to a re-stocked mini-bar, your butler waiting, pre-dinner drinks and a beautifully prepared meal.
This is a magnificent destination and truly special way to experience it with Silversea!
