REAL DESTINATION EXPERTISE

One destination, many ways to experience it.

Antarctica is an expedition destination governed by weather, ice, aviation, vessel operations and strict environmental rules. No landing, wildlife sighting or route can be guaranteed; flexibility is a core part of every responsible programme.

Places and experiences

IBG Travel’s current focus is the South Shetland Islands and western Antarctic Peninsula through small-ship air-cruises. Depending on the product, travellers fly between Punta Arenas and King George Island or combine one Drake Passage sailing with a flight.

Private travel and DMC planning

We help compare itinerary, vessel, cabin, departure window and gateway logistics, then request live availability from the expedition operator. Pre- and post-cruise hotels, airport transfers and South American connections can be added to the confirmed package.

When to visit and what to confirm

Expedition voyages operate in the austral travel season and only on scheduled departures. Aircraft, landings and Zodiac outings remain weather-dependent. Travellers must follow the operator’s briefings, IAATO guidance and applicable Antarctic Treaty visitor rules.

Tell us your preferred season, cabin type, trip length and South American arrival plan. We will provide current options rather than publishing an unverified fare or availability.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Planning ANTARCTICA with the right context.

When is the best time to visit?

Antarctic expedition cruises operate on scheduled departures during the austral travel season. Exact availability, flights, ice and weather are reconfirmed.

What can a first itinerary include?

Air-cruises typically use King George Island to reduce or remove Drake Passage sailing. The Classic and Express products differ in length and how ship and flight sectors are combined.

What can IBG Travel arrange?

IBG Travel can compare live vessel, cabin and departure options and add Punta Arenas or Ushuaia hotels, transfers and onward South American logistics.
