The Company pioneered the innovative Antarctic Air-Cruise model in 2003.by a group of friends in Punta Arenas in Chile. While some travellers include the Drake Passage as part of their voyages, Antarctica 21 combines air-cruise itineraries to avoid the uncomfortable navigation across it, reducing the total duration of the trip and focusing on the unique experience of Antarctica’s pristine wilderness.
This leading boutique Antarctic tour operator offers over 40 air-cruise itineraries and has a fleet of three ice-class expedition vessels. They are constantly innovating and developing their standards as well as protecting the Antarctic environment.
Antarctica 21 combines comfort by flying over the Drake Passage and reducing the 2-day journey across it, speed with a 2-hour flight when normally it takes 2 days with the ship, and intimacy as their small ships will carry a maximum of 75 guests.
