HELI-SKI THE SEVENTH CONTINENT ANTARCTICA

Getting to the seventh continent is no easy feat. Sure, a number of well-known cruise liners will head to ‘The Ice,’ but only those with serious ice-breaking capabilities can venture beyond the tip of the peninsula. And even then, landings are dictated by Mother Nature. But even with all being well, heli-skiing is probably out of the question even if you’re on an all-bells-and-whistles cruise. So, what to do? Charter LaDatcha , a 252-ft SeaXplorer with an ice-classed, IMO Polar Code compliant hull. She has two helicopters on board, a fully certi fi ed primary helideck, a standby deck for a second chopper and a below-deck hangar; she is one of the only operations that can provide e ffi cient and safe heli-skiing across the frozen continent. Begin at Puerto Natales, staying at Awasi overlooking the Torres del Paines National Park in Chile, before fl ying on to King George Island (skipping the infamously choppy Drake Passage) and embarking on a seven- to 10-night voyage for you and up to 12 guests to heli-ski where no one has heli-skied before. From $985,000 for 12 guests. Contact Oli Corkhill, CEO, sales@leotrippi.com, +44 128 536 6039, leotrippi.com
