Activities: Included

Let Silversea Expedition’s Silver Explorer take you across the continent, immersed in the otherworldly beauty of the most extreme latitudes on the planet. The frozen continent at the end of the earth is well worth the wait. The coldest, highest and driest of all seven continents, Antarctica begs discovery. Be humbled by the solitude and emptiness, as pods of seals lazily bask on floes, waddles of penguins dive (and thrive) in the ice waters and humpbacks – the most magnificent of all maritime beasts – breach gracefully before your very eyes.
Day 1: Fly Dublin to Puna Arenas.
Day 2: Arrive Punta Arenas. Overnight in hotel.
Day 3: Skip sailing across the notorious Drake Passage and instead take the ‘Antarctica Bridge’. Fly from Punta Arenas straight to King George Island where you board the Silver Explorer. The ship departs at 6pm, marking the start of your 6 days exploring the Antarctic Sound, the Antarctica Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands.
Day 9: The ship docks early back in King George Island in time for your business class flight to Punta Arenas where you stay for one hotel night.
Day 10: Fly back to Ireland.
