  • National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions now offers eight, nine, and 10-day trips to Antarctica. Now, you can fly and sail
  • or just fly
  • across the Drake Passage.

The article from Travel + Leisure discusses a new travel option offered by National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions, which allows travelers to bypass the notoriously rough Drake Passage by flying over it instead of sailing. This new "Fly and Sail" program was introduced to cater to those who might be deterred by the often turbulent sea journey between South America and Antarctica. The package includes a flight from Punta Arenas, Chile, to King George Island in Antarctica, significantly reducing travel time and avoiding potential seasickness. Once in Antarctica, travelers can still experience the full expedition, including Zodiac cruises, wildlife watching, and educational lectures. This option not only makes the trip more accessible but also adds flexibility for those with limited time or concerns about the sea crossing.
