For many visitors to Antarctica the main fear they have is crossing the infamous Drake Passage. This is the stretch of water between South America and the Antarctic Peninsula and typically adds 4 days to your trip, Two days over and two days back
Like any stretch of water in the world the conditions can vary, but crossings here have gained their own special terms. These are known as the Drake Lake on a good day, or the Drake Shake on a bad day
The innovators at Silversea Expeditions have created the perfect antidote for those either nervous to cross the Drake, or those who don’t have the time to spare the extra 2 days it takes each way.
Silversea Antarctic Air Bridge gives you the choice to fly round trip across the Drake and join your luxury expedition ship at King George Island on the Antarctic Peninsula.
This is no ordinary charter flight! In true Silversea style this is a luxury experience from start to finish. Seats have been removed to allow additional Business Class leg room, bespoke catering has been arranged on board and there is even personalised Silversea inflight entertainment
On arrival at King George island it is a short seamless transfer direct to your luxury Silversea Expedition ship and an immediate start to your Antarctic adventure

Any trip to Antarctica is a significant investment and a bucket list trip for many
This makes it even more important to ensure you travel with the right company, on the right ship, to suit your style and budget
Silver Endeavour is one of the most luxurious expedition ships to ever be built. The technology onboard allows her to go further and safer to even the most remotest of destinations
On our own trip to Antarctica we actually crossed the Drake in just one day meaning we had an extra day on the Antarctic Peninsular. We then took the air bridge back from King George Island. This hybrid air bridge arrangement is also available on selected itineraries
