If your clients have had Antarctica on their ‘soon’ travel wish list, Lindblad’s news might just be what they’ve been waiting for to finally book. Not only do they have incredible expeditions to the White Continent, but they will also soon have two ways to travel there!  

With Lindblad, you can now present your clients with increased flexibility and more time-efficient options to see Antarctica’s colossal icebergs, mighty whales, and waddling penguins.  

Save on time

On Lindblad’s new Antarctica Direct: Fly the Drake Passage, expedition passengers can bypass the infamous Drake Passage sailing. Travelling from the tip of South America at Cape Horn to the South Shetland Islands, the Drake Passage typically takes 48 hours to sail. 

Instead, your clients can hop aboard a short 2-hour charter flight without sacrificing Antarctica’s natural wonders and highlights.  

The best of both worlds

For travellers who love the best of both worlds, book their cabins on Lindblad’s new Antarctica Direct: Sail and Fly the Drake Passage. This exciting addition to the Antarctica line-up includes an exciting sailing across the Drake Passage following the polar explorers of the Heroic Age of Antarctica Exploration.  

And the return? A short 2-hour charter flight, the perfect amount of time to edit thousands of photos from a trip of a lifetime.

As you might imagine, every sailing to Antarctica is mesmerising; its grandeur is always on display. However, every month offers a unique window of weather and wildlife, from the virgin snow of November to the flurry of whales that arrive in February.  

Read Lindblad’s handy guide to help your clients choose the best time to travel to Antarctica.

With Lindblad’s flexible—and more affordable—options, your clients can chart their own course to this otherworldly realm of sculpted snow and ice, travelling with the expedition experts. And we mean experts; their origin story started in Antarctica! 

As travel options to Antarctica continue to rise, knowing who to travel with is as important as knowing when to go. From the experts on board to the ship’s technology to the stewardship relationship to the region, it all makes a difference.  

Lindblad has made life easier with these six questions to ensure expectations match reality.
