A cruise to Antarctica offers a journey to a unique landscape and is considered as one of the most exciting cruises in the world.
The cruising season in Antarctica runs from late October until March and there is now a wider choice of cruises to the Antarctic, ranging from traditional Expedition Antarctic Cruises such as Quark, Hurtigruten and Lindblad, to small luxury cruises to the Antarctic such as those of Silversea and the brand-new Scenic Eclipse.
Discover dramatic scenery, spot amazing wildlife such as seals, penguins and whales, cruise between ice channels in zodiac boats and set foot on the 7th continent.
Booking your Antarctic Cruise well in advance is recommended due to the limited number of ships cruising Antarctica. Some careful thought should go into your choice of Antarctic Cruise as there are over 70 different itineraries.
We can help guide you in making the right decision about your Antarctic Cruise to suit your budget, ship preference, mobility and whether you want to do pre or post touring in South America.
