Santiago Tour & Fly to Antarctica
12 DAYS Starting from $17,390 per person
Head from Chile’s cosmopolitan capital to the remotest destination on Earth on this 12-Day Santiago to Antarctica Tour. Spend three nights in exciting Santiago visiting the key city sites and popular neighboring coastal towns before flying as far South as is commercially possible and boarding a luxury ship for your five-night Antarctic exploration. You’ll see polar wildlife, breath-taking scenery and exhilarating ocean views, with daily excursions onto the ice, on this incredible adventure. Because this tour flies in and out of King George Island, you’ll spend five full days navigating Antarctic waters.
