Useful tips

ANTARCTICA XXI carries out Antarctic Air-Cruises since 2003. The experience of these years has allowed developing a profound knowledge of the delicate coordination between the air and the sea operation in an extreme environment as Antarctica.

In the unlikely event that the flight to Antarctica cannot take place due to unfavourable conditions, ANTARCTICA XXI has established a Contingency Plan describing the activities and services foreseen while waiting for a favourable flying opportunity.

If the flight to Antarctica is delayed, passengers stay in Punta Arenas and its surroundings. On the other hand, if the delay affects the return flight from Antarctica, passengers on board the ship will continue cruising to nearby places until the flight back to Punta Arenas is authorized.

For this reason, a tight flight-schedule connection with an Antarctic expedition is unwise. ANTARCTICA XXI suggests to hold a flexible air ticket for your home journey, and most importantly not to book a connection flight, either national or international, on the same day of the return flight from Antarctica.

ANTARCTICA XXI invites passengers to read and understand the Contingency Plan applying to each air-cruise.
