Antartica Air Cruise

There's still a side of the Earth that remains virtually untouched. An entire continent of windswept expanses, snow-shrouded peaks and haunting emptiness stretching to the far horizon

A new and better way to travel to Antartica. Providing quick, intimate access to the White Continent. The two-hour flight takes you from Punta Arenas, the international gateway to Chilean Patagonia,

directly to Antarctica, where you then board your expedition ship. No stormy crossing. No seasickness. Just quick, total immersion in your Antarctic adventure.

We’ll explore Atartica in small expedition vessels that are more like private yachts, offering direct access to areas along the Antarctic shore that larger ships simply can’t reach. And because we have fewer guests, you get on and off faster, so your time ashore is focused where it should be: savoring every moment of a travel experience unlike any other.

Everyone is welcome on our tours, our mission is to deliver a safe space to the LGBT + community. Just be yourself and enjoy ... We'll take care of the rest!

OUR CRUISESHIP: OCEAN NOVA, Strong and Mighty / Active Adventure

Ocean Nova is a sturdy and nimble expedition vessel. This ship was built in Denmark in 1992

to sail the ice-choked waters of Greenland. It has ice-strengthened hull that is ideally suited for expedition travel in Antarctica. The ship was fully refurbished in 2006 and since then has benefitted

from annual upgrades and improvements.

For our air-cruises, Ocean Nova has capacity for 67 passengers accommodated in comfortable

outside cabins. The ship offers three categories of accommodation: dedicated Single Cabins, Twin

Cabins, and Triple Cabins. All cabins feature a picture window, a writing desk with chair, a wardrobe, individually controlled heating system, and a private bathroom with shower. In addition to a glass-enclosed observation lounge and presentation room, Ocean Nova also has a spacious dining room, a bar, a library, a small gym, and an infirmary. The ship has a fleet of 7 Zodiac boats that are well suited for disembarking and wildlife watching.
