The routes will offer travel from the Arctic to the gateway to Antarctica, via Gatwick airport.


Journeys from Svalbard in the Arctic Ocean to Ushuaia at the southernmost tip of Argentina with Norwegian lead in from less than £400.


The 9,800-mile journey is split across four flights, operated by Boeing 737-800 and 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, and will take just over 24 hours’ flight time.


Passengers will start their journey on Svalbard, which is around 650 miles south of the North Pole.


From there, passengers will fly to Norwegian capital Oslo and onwards to Gatwick where they will board Norwegian’s overnight service to Buenos Aires.
