Antarctica fly-cruises have never been more accessible, luxurious, or attractively priced than they are right now. With new infrastructure, expanded fleet capacity, and the most competitive offers in years, 2026-27 is poised to be the ultimate season for discovering the White Continent in comfort and style.

Silversea: The Most Seamless, Worry-Free Fly-Cruise—Now at Unbeatable Value

Silversea’s Antarctica Bridge program remains the gold standard for premium, all-inclusive fly-cruise expeditions. What truly sets Silversea apart is the comprehensive, worry-free journey:

• Start your adventure with a night at the Ritz-Carlton in Santiago, Chile. Luxury and comfort from the very beginning.

• Private charter flights from Santiago to Puerto Williams, where you’ll enjoy the new Cormorant at 55 South, the world’s southernmost hotel, opening January 2026.

• Direct charter flight from Puerto Williams to King George Island, skipping the Drake Passage for a faster, smoother arrival in Antarctica.

• All-inclusive luxury on board: spacious veranda suites, butler service, gourmet dining, guided Zodiac excursions, and enrichment programs.

The Best Silversea Offer in Over a Year

For a limited time, Silversea is offering up to 40% off plus up to a two-category suite upgrade on select Antarctica fly-cruise departures. We have sent customers on this offer in a Veranda Suite for about 47% off the list price. That’s the best deal we’ve tracked from Silversea in over a year. Fares currently start as low as $11,550–$16,450 per person in double occupancy, with the best rates in the industry for this level of luxury and inclusions. Single cabin supplements are set at only 25% over doubles, one of the lowest in industry, afforded by their large vessel sizes built for 350 passengers but capped at 200 guests for Antarctica expeditions. This is a limited-time opportunity for those seeking the most seamless and comfortable way to reach Antarctica.

Antarctica21: Growth and Innovation

Antarctica21 continues to lead the boutique fly-cruise segment. Their purpose-built Magellan Explorer is in operation, and their second vessel launched last year, expanding capacity and comfort. Importantly, the Magellan Discoverer, their next-generation ship, will launch for the 2026-27 season (next season), with 76 guests in all-balcony cabins, hybrid-electric propulsion, and a wet science lab, further enhancing the fly-cruise experience.
