Antarctic Dream

Antarctic Shipping S.A. started in 2002 through the acquisition of a decommissioned Chilean Navy vessel, the historical "Piloto Pardo", by a group of sailing enthusiasts. The ship was completely refurbished as an expedition cruise ship for tourist expeditions to sail the Southern Pacific seas and the legendary icy waters of the Antarctic Peninsula. Our company's shareholders represent Chilean and American interests, and it is a permanent member of the International Antarctic Tourist Operators Association, IAATO. Antarctic Shipping S.A. is proud to be the leading Chilean company that operates cruises to Antarctica, with the highest market standards in both security and quality. Up until now, a few thousand fortunate passengers have been able to live the experience of Antarctic sailing on board our vessel the M/N Antarctic Dream. In 2008 the company began operating similar expeditions to the Arctic region.
