Polar Latitudes Expeditions will introduce its first Fly & Cruise Antarctica programme with departures scheduled in January and February 2028. The programme introduces three itineraries designed for travellers who prefer to minimise or avoid crossing the Drake Passage.
The itineraries provide several travel options. Guests can fly both into and out of the Antarctic Peninsula from Punta Arenas, sail from Ushuaia and fly out from Punta Arenas, or fly from Punta Arenas and sail back to Ushuaia.
All departures will operate aboard Ocean Nova, an expedition vessel carrying up to 70 passengers. The vessel is designed for access to smaller landing sites across the Antarctic Peninsula and operates with a high guide-to-passenger ratio. Onboard facilities include the Panorama Lounge and an outdoor viewing deck for observing wildlife and landscapes.
The Fly & Cruise programme forms part of Polar Latitudes Expeditions’ broader expansion. The company has recently introduced voyages to Scotland, Ireland and the North Atlantic Isles, alongside additional itineraries across the Arctic.
Polar Latitudes Expeditions currently operates a fleet of four expedition vessels focused on small-ship travel to remote regions.
