Secret Atlas has today announced a new series of Antarctic Circle Expedition Micro Cruise by Air departures for the 2027/28 and 2028/29 seasons aboard Aureum, a new 36-guest Explorer Yacht. Departing from the Secret Atlas expedition hub in Puerto Natales, Chile, guests will fly for around 2 ½ hours to King George Island, skipping the traditional two-day Drake Passage crossing in both directions and gaining time on the Antarctic Peninsula instead.
The expedition lasts for several days, with specific duration details available upon booking.
The Aureum can accommodate up to 36 guests.
Expeditions depart from Puerto Natales, Chile.
Flying to King George Island avoids the traditional two-day Drake Passage crossing, allowing more time on the Antarctic Peninsula.
