Antarctica Activities

Antarctica Cruises

Cruises

Most visits to Antarctica are on organised ship-based expeditions that vary in degrees of luxury, itinerary and size. Antarctic cruises aim to showcase the scenic highlights of the region as well as to educate visitors about the wildlife, historical sites and active research bases. Staff on board these ice-strengthened ships generally include wildlife, historical and geological experts, as well as experienced sailors, and daily shore landings and zodiac cruises provide opportunities for passengers to observe the wildlife from up close and to better appreciate the sculpted ice forms. Antarctica is not an easy place to get to, and part of the price to pay for a cruise is a probable rough sea crossing, as well as an itinerary at the mercy of changing weather and ice conditions.
