Antarktika-Explorer-Express - 17. Januar 2026

Antarktika-Explorer-Express - 17. Januar 2026

Als jüngerer Bruder unserer vollwertigen Antarktis-Expeditionsreise ist der Antarctic Explorer Express eine komprimierte Version der längeren Reiseroute. Es mag dekadent erscheinen, sich auf eine kurze Reise in die Antarktis zu begeben, aber für Reisende mit wenig Zeit könnte eine kurze Reise zur Antarktischen Halbinsel genau das sein, wonach Sie suchen. Durch den Flug über die Drake-Passage in mindestens einer Richtung, kombiniert mit einer verkürzten Zeit auf der Antarktischen Halbinsel, sind unsere Antarctic Explorer Express-Reisen auf Reisende zugeschnitten, die ein schnelles Abenteuer auf dem gefrorenen Kontinent suchen. Genießen Sie Zodiac-Ausflüge zur Erkundung rauer Küstenlinien, wo unerwartete Begegnungen mit neugierigen Walen vorkommen können.

The younger sibling to our fully-grown Antarctic Explorer voyage, Antarctic Explorer Express is a condensed version of the longer itinerary. It may seem indulgent to embark on a quick trip to Antarctica, but for travellers who are short on time, a short trip to the Antarctic Peninsula could be just what you are looking for. By flying across the Drake Passage in at least one direction combined with a compacted time in the Antarctic Peninsula, our Antarctic Explorer Express voyages are tailored for travellers seeking a quick adventure to the frozen continent. Enjoy Zodiac excursions to explore rugged coastlines, where unexpected appearances from curious whales is known to occur.
