WHY ANTARCTICA21
Spend less time crossing. More time exploring.
Antarctica21 pioneered the Antarctic air-cruise concept, combining a flight across the Drake Passage with an expedition voyage around the Antarctic Peninsula.
Instead of beginning your Antarctic journey with a long ocean crossing, you fly south and join your expedition ship closer to the heart of the experience.
MICE Holidays helps travellers in Malaysia compare Antarctica21 programmes, departure dates, ships and the travel arrangements required before and after the expedition.
