🔷Once in a lifetime: Sailing in Antarctica

Come aboard the Amazone and experience an extraordinary Sail & Fly expedition to one of the most fascinating regions on Earth. Instead of crossing the notorious Drake Passage, you'll fly from Punta Arenas to King George Island – and start your Antarctic sailing adventure directly from there.

In a small group, you'll sail along the Antarctic Peninsula: past shimmering blue icebergs, mighty glaciers, silent bays and landscapes that few people ever get to see. Penguin colonies, seals on ice floes, seabirds and, with a bit of luck, whales make this voyage an intense nature experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.

🔷Why this voyage is special

✔️ Sail & Fly concept: experience Antarctica without having to sail the rough Drake Passage
✔️ Small expedition group: personal atmosphere instead of mass tourism
✔️ Spectacular wildlife: penguins, seals, whales and seabirds at close quarters
✔️ Legendary locations: including Deception Island, Port Lockroy, Lemaire Channel and Cuverville Island
✔️ Zodiac excursions included: for intensive nature and wildlife observation
✔️ Polar guide on board: with an engaging educational programme during the voyage
