Magellan Explorer, which joins Ocean Nova and Hebridean Sky as our third ship in our fleet of air-cruise offerings, gives our guests an unparalleled experience that includes flying over the turbulent waters of the Drake Passage and boarding the ship directly in Antarctica. This means you skip the 2-day sea voyage from South America to Antarctica and the discomfort of unpredictable seas, ensuring your comfort. Instead, you simply enjoy the best part: exploring the remote and natural landscape of the 7th continent.If you have questions about sailing with us on Magellan Explorer or would like to request an informative presentation of the ship, please contact us today!
