Since their humble beginnings in 2003, Antarctic 21 have now moved the company into the market leader for Antarctic Fly-Cruises. The big benefit of a fly-cruise with Antarctica 21 is that you will fly over the notorious Drakes Passage, which takes other ships up to 2 days to cross in each direction and is known to be quite a rough stretch of water. This unique proposition saves time and discomfort - if the Drakes Passage has put you off going to Antarctica then Antarctica 21 is the perfect choice for you!

Antarctica 21 offers over 40 air-cruise itineraries and has a fleet of three ice-class expedition vessels. Expedition cruises start with a 2-hour flight from Punta Arenas in Chile to King George Island and it is here you will meet the ship. From here they offer a range of cruise lengths and the company is focussed on showing you as much of the continent as possible. Antarctica 21 takes advantage of the small number of people they carry allowing everyone to be off the ship at the same time. This means you can expect up to 2 landings / zodiac cruises per day and a passionate team of expedition staff to offer further insight into the amazing areas they explore. 

Back on-board and you can expect a relaxed, casual atmosphere with good food and fine company from all over the world. Their brand-new ship, the Magellan Explorer takes Antarctica 21's cruises to the next level and was designed and purpose built for them.
