Highlights

  • Skip the Drake Passage with a direct charter flight to King George Island for instant immersion in Antarctica’s wonders.
  • Celebrate New Year’s surrounded by glaciers, penguin rookeries, and the surreal glow of the austral summer sun.
  • Cruise by Zodiac among sculpted icebergs, whale-rich waters, and untamed Antarctic coastlines steeped in exploration lore.

Celebrate the arrival of a new year in the most extraordinary way imaginable—amid the ice-laden wilderness of Antarctica. This 10-day Antarctic New Year Micro Fly Cruise combines the thrill of discovery with the comfort of bypassing the rough Drake Passage, whisking you directly from Puerto Natales, Chile to King George Island for immediate immersion in the White Continent’s pristine beauty.

Once aboard your expedition vessel, explore the Antarctic Peninsula’s dramatic coastlines and secluded islands, where vast penguin colonies bustle with life and glaciers crackle in the endless daylight of the austral summer. Zodiac cruises bring you up close to sapphire-blue icebergs and mirror-still coves, while encounters with humpback whales, leopard seals, and fur seals remind you of nature’s raw magnificence.

Every day offers new perspectives—from sailing through the breathtaking Gerlache Strait to landing on ice-fringed shores where penguins nest among relics of old whaling days. Expert guides and naturalists enrich your journey with insights into polar ecology, geology, and exploration history, making each landing a true voyage of discovery.

As the calendar turns, toast the New Year in one of Earth’s last untouched frontiers, surrounded by silence, shimmering light, and boundless horizons. You’ll return home forever changed—having celebrated life, adventure, and the turning of time itself at the very edge of the world.

Ideal for those seeking an unforgettable celebration, this voyage is perfect for adventurous spirits, wildlife lovers, and dreamers yearning to start their year where few ever go.
