Antarctica voyages can vary wildly in price, length, weather, comfort, ship size, onboard amenities, destinations visited, included excursions, extra activity offerings and so much more. Don’t be overwhelmed – we can talk you through everything on the phone. Otherwise, read more below on how Seasonality, Routes & Ships will impact your Antarctica cruise.
Seasonality
The travel season to Antarctica is approximately 5 months long from late October to late March. Each month brings different prices, highlights and potential experiences for intrepid travellers.
Icy conditions at the beginning of the season mean you cannot reach the Polar Circle, however, the trade off is a stunningly pristine landscape few people will have reached yet…
Routes
There are four main routes that most operators follow – Classic Antarctica Peninsula, Antarctica Peninsula & Polar Circle, Antarctica Peninsula + Falklands + South Georgia, and Complete Antarctica.
Special itineraries may include remote destinations like the Weddell Sea, South Sandwich Islands and Ross Sea…
Ships
Picking the right ship is a crucial aspect of your cruise. Ships range from ‘small expedition’ with less than 100 passengers to ‘ocean liners’ with over 3,000 guests.
Only 100 people can be ashore per site at one time. This means you should consider zodiac numbers and embarkation areas that will affect wait times to get ashore…
Itineraries show voyage details, day by day schedules, inclusions, and operating ships. Departures display voyage dates, cabin costs, and ships for a specific itinerary.
