We leave nothing to chance in delivering your perfect trip and have over 6500 happy travellers to show for it. With a dedicated Antarctic co-ordinator & support throughout - you’re in safe hands.
The cost of an Antarctic cruise starts from around $5,995 for an express Peninsula trip to approximately $60,000 or more for an expedition to the South Pole. To find out more about budgeting for your expedition, visit our Antarctic costs explained guide.
The length of an Antarctic trip depends on the type of voyage you choose, but most classic Peninsula cruises are at least 10 days long. You can save time by flying to Antarctica, cutting out up to four days’ sailing time.
Alternatively, you could opt to lengthen your trip by exploring incredible destinations such as wildlife-packed South Georgia or the remote Ross Sea.
Yes, you get off the ship on our cruises to immerse yourself in Antarctica’s epic wildlife and icy scenery. We do not offer voyages on larger vessels (500+ capacity) as these won’t allow you to set foot on Antarctic soil. Discover more about what you can expect on our polar cruises.
It’s perfectly safe as all the ships we work with are staffed by experts who know how to take the precautions necessary in polar destinations.
The best month to cruise to Antarctica depends on what you want out of your cruise. December, January and February are the most popular options because the weather tends to be more predictable. November and March are classed as shoulder season but still offer an incredible experience, not to mention lower prices.
Picture a humpback whale gliding past your kayak or sleeping out in the pristine snow of a polar campsite. An adventure activity can take your Antarctic cruise to the next level.
