Guide to Booking an Expedition Antarctica Cruise



While some people think of the Antarctic as bleak, nothing could be further from the truth. The Antarctic is actually quite vivid and there is no better way to see this for yourself than by taking an Antarctica cruise. An Antarctica cruise allows travelers to see up close and personal the true beauty of the Antarctic. Snow capped peaks and high slopes glistening in the sun will stand out in your mind long after you have finished your Antarctica cruise.

If you truly want to experience the best of the Antarctic the best way to do so is with an expedition Antarctica cruise. Be aware that not every Antarctica cruise ship offers expedition cruises. Some Antarctica cruise ships offer only what are known as experience Antarctic cruise trips. This type of Antarctica cruise provides you with the chance to glimpse the beauty of the Antarctic but they will not provide you with the chance to actually go ashore.

To go ashore in the Antarctic you will need to plan to take an Antarctica cruise that can break through the icy waters. A different type of wonderful Antarctica cruise ship is required for an onshore expedition. When booking your Antarctica cruise be certain to ask whether the Antarctica cruise that is offered is an experience cruise or an expedition Antarctica cruise.

Most great Antarctica cruise ships depart sometime between November and February, as this coincides with the summer tourist season in the Antarctic. You will still need to pack warm clothing for your Antarctica cruise even though it is technically summer, so be sure to pack accordingly. Ask your cruise specialist about appropriate clothing to bring with you on your trip to make sure you are comfortable.
