ANTARCTICA Flying over the mythical waters of the Drake Passage, experience this unique air cruise holiday, taking you to one of the most remote and beautiful places on earth - Antarctica. Its gigantic icebergs and ice shelves are found nowhere else on the globe. Its vast mountain ranges and the enormous emptiness of the polar plateau boggle the mind. Here nature is at its finest and most spectacular. Watch amazing wildlife; orcas and humpback and minke whales; chinstrap, gentoo, Adelie and king penguins, wandering albatross, snow petrels; Weddell, crab-eater and elephant seals. Cruise by icebergs the size of office blocks, and view glaciers calving into the sea. Enjoy a pristine wilderness that has been explored by so few before you…. without having to cruise the rough waters of the Drake Passage!

PATAGONIA Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego….the southernmost region in the world, where mountains meet the ocean, the silence is moving, and the flora, fauna and geography awaken the senses. In this virgin and magical area, you will sail past glaciers, marine mammals, Magellanic penguins, and exuberant landscapes. Sail through the legendary maritime channels all the way to Cape Horn, an unimaginably pure and strikingly beautiful zone.
