Een unieke expeditietocht naar Antarctica waarbij u zorgeloos en optimaal van uw tijd op Antarctica kunt genieten. Na een ongeveer twee uur durende vlucht vanuit de Chileense stad Punta Arenas landt u op King George Island nabij naar het Antarctisch schiereiland. Niet alle routes vliegen heen en terug. Per zodiac wordt u naar uw schip gebracht, de intieme Ocean Nova waar u met maximaal 71 passagiers gedurende 5 dagen langs de mooiste plekken van Antarctica vaart. U slaat de tocht over de Drake Passage over en u brengt net zoveel tijd op Antarctica door als bij alle andere reizen die de Klassieke Route varen. Van begin tot eind is deze reis tot in de puntjes verzorgd! Bij deze reizen varen we richting de Poolcirkel en trachten we deze over te steken.
Dag 1 - aankomst Punta Arenas, overnachting
The staff welcomes you in Punta Arenas, Chile. Transfer to your hotel and attend a briefing that provides important information about your voyage and reviews the essential guidelines for Antarctic visitors. A welcome dinner introduces you to the local gastronomy as you meet fellow adventurers from around the world.
Passengers should plan to be in Punta Arenas at 15:00 hours, at the latest.
Pick-up at the Punta Arenas airport and transfer to the hotel cannot be guaranteed for travellers arriving later than 15:00 hours.
Dag 2 - vliegen naar Antarctica, aankomst King George Island
A smooth two-hour flight takes you efficiently from Punta Arenas to King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. Your Antarctic adventure begins as you exit the airplane and the clear Antarctic air fills your lungs for the first time. Explore the area surrounding Chile’s Frei Station and Russia’s Bellingshausen station, before boarding a Zodiac to embark your expedition vessel.
Dag 3 -8 - Antarctic Peninsula & South Shetland Islands, oversteek Poolcirkel
Sail along ice-filled fjords and among spectacular icebergs, while enjoying the company of sea birds, penguins, seals and whales. Visit the South Shetland Islands and the western coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, disembarking by Zodiac each day. In small groups, hike to extraordinary sites and take part in exploratory Zodiac excursions to otherwise inaccessible areas. Expert polar guides share their passion for Antarctica through an engaging program of illustrated presentations, and lead you ashore to interpret the wildlife, the history and the many wonders of the Antarctic environment. From the glass-enclosed lounge, enjoy spectacular views while sharing your daily adventures with fellow guests over a drink.
The goal of the expedition is to sail far south in the attempt of reaching the Polar Circle. The Expedition Team sets the specific voyage route based on local conditions, and takes advantage of the ever-changing opportunities provided by Nature. Flexibility will be the key to a successful voyage. Your expedition may include visits to sites such as Port Lockroy, Petermann Island, Paradise Bay, the Lemaire Channel, Prospect Point or other magnificent places.
Each voyage is unique and each is crafted to provide the best possible overview of the varied Antarctic environment.
Dag 9 - vertrek van King George Island, aankomst Punta Arenas
Back at King George Island, bid farewell to Antarctica as you board the flight to Punta Arenas. The program ends upon arrival at the airport in Punta Arenas.
