Antarctic season from Punta Arenas
Travel Daily News reports that Antarctica21 has opened bookings for 47 departures in its 2028-29 season, its largest single-season schedule. All itineraries are planned to begin and end in Punta Arenas, Chile, using the Magellan Explorer and Magellan Discoverer.
Under Antarctica21’s air-cruise format, passengers fly directly to Antarctica in approximately two hours and explore the Antarctic Peninsula by expedition ship. The company presents this as an alternative to the two-day Drake Passage crossing.
