Antarctica Tour Reviews

Antarctica — tour highlights and travel tips.

Nonetheless, there are still plenty of great cruises and expeditions available for those who are brave enough to visit it — and it can be quite exciting to be one of the few people who ever get the chance to explore this ice-covered continent. Check out some of the things you should know before your trip to Antarctica. 

Antarctica Cruise Highlights

• Catch a glimpse of wildlife in their natural habitat like the Emperor Penguins, whales and seals
• Experience the most extreme side of nature, visiting some corners of the Earth that are only accessible by special ice-strengthened boats
• Cross the infamous Drake Passage, or the Sea of Hoces - the world’s roughest sea (brace yourself if you are prone to get seasick)

Antarctica Travel Tips

• There are strict environmental guidelines that you must follow on your visit to Antarctica, and you cannot visit on your own. You will have to explore the region as part of a small group on a cruise ship, accompanied by a guide.
• Antarctica can only be visited during the continent’s short summer months, typically between November and March. Otherwise, the weather is too harsh.
• There are about 24 hours of sunlight in this part of the world, so be sure to pack sunscreen.
• Most trips to Antarctica depart from Argentina and run for multiple days. Expect to be gone for anywhere from 10 days to an entire month. This is a long adventure!

Popular durations for Antarctica trip

Peak season and low season tours in Antarctica

• Peak season tours in Antarctica:  The Antarctic summer, from November through early February, is the peak period for Antarctica tours. The region is at its warmest during this period, and you can enjoy up to 24 hours of daylight, making it the best time for hiking, photography tours, and other outdoor adventures. This is also the peak wildlife breeding season. But do make sure to book your trip well ahead of time and be ready to part with a significant amount of money.
• Low-season tours in Antarctica:  Mid-February to March is considered the low tourist season in Antarctica. The weather is much colder and there are fewer daylight hours during this time of the year. Still, the overall conditions are much more bearable than in the peak fall and winter seasons. You can anticipate lower prices on Antarctica trips and cruises due to lower tourist arrival. Despite being the low season, February and March is a great time to visit Antarctica if you are a wildlife enthusiast. Penguin chicks leave their nest and the whale numbers are at their peak around this time.

Eating and drinking.

Eating and drinking in Antarctica is done aboard your expedition ship, with all meals provided for the duration of your journey. Tea and coffee, as well as soft drinks and juices, are ready to greet you when you come back from a shore landing and at meal times, while alcoholic beverages are also available, but for an additional price.

Breakfasts and lunches tend to be buffet style, while dinners are typically served tableside and usually feature three courses. The range of food is diverse, with professional chefs preparing a wide selection of gourmet dishes, and a vegetarian option is always included. Afternoon tea, with pastries or cookies, is also provided every day.

If you have any dietary requirements or food allergies, please let us know before the trip starts. If you have a more restrictive dietary requirement (vegan, gluten intolerance, fructose intolerance, etc) it is likely you can be catered for. Unfortunately, we are unable to cater for a kosher diet.

There may not be any stores on the Antarctic Peninsula, but that doesn't mean you can't do any shopping. The Ocean Endeavour has its very own polar boutique equipped with every little knickknack and thingamabob you might need to help commemorate your journey to the seventh continent (think all the essentials, clothing and souvenirs).

Geography and environment

Encompassed by the Antarctic convergence (an uneven line of latitude where the cold waters of the Antarctic merge with the warmer waters of the world's oceans), Antarctica is both cold and remote, located in the Southern Hemisphere. Due to its south-polar position, the Antarctic continent is covered in ice and experiences very harsh conditions unsuitable for permanent human residency.

While plenty of animals live in Antarctica (such as various species of whale, penguin, seal and bird), there are very few humans that call Antarctica home, instead using the region as a base for research. There are no cities in Antarctica but there are several research stations positioned on the continent belonging to various countries like Russia, the United States and Australia.

History and government

Antarctica was formed around 35 million years ago and remained undiscovered until around 1820 when Russian explorers spotted the mainland. However, this may have only been the first documented discovery of Antarctica, as it's believed that Pacific Islanders may have reached the white continent in 650 AD.

There were many attempts to set foot at the South Pole in the early 20th century, so much so that it was dubbed the 'Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration', with many trying and failing until a Norwegian explorer by the name of Roald Amundsen reached in 1911. Exploration didn't stop there though with a total of 17 major expeditions launched in the following years from 10 different countries, the last one being Ernest Shackleton's last ill-fated voyage in 1917.

Antarctica isn't owned by one single country, instead governed internationally through the Antarctic Treaty system signed in 1959 by 12 countries who had sent scientists to Antarctica during and around that time. These countries included Argentina, Australia, France, Japan, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Further reading

Antarctica travel faqs, where is antarctica.

Antarctica refers to the seventh continent of the world and is largely situated in the Antarctic Circle - a line of latitude sitting at around 66.5° south of the equator - at the base of the globe.

The Antarctic refers to the region made up of south polar zones that include the seas and some outlying islands. 

What country is Antarctica in?

Antarctica isn't part of one single country, rather it is a continent governed under a series of recognized guidelines and agreements called the Antarctic Treaty System.

What are the possible landing sites in Antarctica?

Each expedition includes stops at various landing sites around the Antarctic but when you stop at them and for how long often depends on the weather, as well as sea ice and wildlife movement. 

What types of animals live in Antarctica?

While Antarctica may not be hospitable to human life, there are plenty of animal species that call the seventh continent their home. This includes penguins, whales, sea birds, seals, and more. 

What is it like travelling solo on a cruise to Antarctica?

While you can't embark on an expedition to the world's seventh continent alone, you can travel solo on a group tour to Antarctica.

This means you'll still have plenty of free time to do your own thing (and use the ship's excellent amenities) but also have the comfort of knowing expert leaders are handling the pesky logistics.

You can also choose from a variety of accommodation arrangements, from single cabins to room-sharing, depending on your preference. 

When is the best time to visit Antarctica?

Antarctica is best visited in the summer months from November to March when the weather is warmer and the sea ice has melted enough to get closer to the island shore.

What is the weather like in Antarctica?

The climate in Antarctica is the coldest one on Earth with cold summers and freezing winters. The warmest month is January with averages of around 50°F.

What do I wear in Antarctica?

You have to be prepared and thorough when packing for Antarctica due to its remote location. Make sure you bring lots of layers, gloves, sunscreen, and moisturizer among other items.

Is there internet, wi-fi, email or telephone access available on the ships?

Internet access is available on most Antarctic ships, at a cost. Alternatively, there may be a ship-based email system where you will have an email account to stay in touch with family and friends. Because of the remoteness of Antarctica, connections can be slow, so all ships charge for data used rather than time spent online. Please refer to your detailed pre-departure information for more information on Internet facilities on your ship.

Will my cell phone work in Antarctica? 

Your cell phone will not work during your Antarctica cruise as the continent is still considered extremely remote and doesn't have the right telecommunication infrastructure in place.

Can my family and friends contact me while I’m on board in the case of an emergency at home?

Yes. There is a number to call the ship and you can purchase data for the wi-fi onboard, although the connection is intermittent and not to be relied on.

How do I choose an Antarctic cruise?

Deciding on the Antarctic cruise that suits you best comes down to figuring out the time of year you want to go, the itinerary, and how long you want the cruise to be.

How much does a cruise to Antarctica cost?

The cost of an Antarctica cruise largely depends on the departure date, how long the cruise goes for, and the type of cabin you book on the ship but most cruises start from USD$4,500.

How fit do I need to be to travel to Antarctica?

While the destination itself might conjure up images of nefarious voyages only the fittest can endure, you only need to be in good health and be able to move around freely to participate in and enjoy Antarctica's numerous activities and adventures.

If you have an average fitness level (and above) you are compatible with Antarctica travel, so you don't need to spend hours in the gym before considering booking a trip. 

How do we meet our responsible travel targets in Antarctica?

This question is something we thought long and hard about before deciding to run our own ship in Antarctica. We’re deeply committed to being a responsible business and understanding the impact we have on the places we visit. All Intrepid trips are  100% carbon neutral , but we are driven to do more, from committing to science-based decarbonisation targets to and recently updating our  Seven-point Climate Action Plan . 

We’ve approached responsible travel in Antarctica with three areas of focus that we believe will create the greatest positive impact: inspiring travellers, supporting science and protecting the environment. 

Does my trip to Antarctica support The Intrepid Foundation?

Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. In fact, we make a donation on behalf of every traveller. Trips to Antarctica directly support our foundation partner, WWF.

WWF-Australia is a well-established conservation organisation helping protect our natural environment. Donations from our trips help their pioneering whale research and conservation efforts to establish marine protected areas around Antarctica and save whale species from extinction. 

Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.

Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica

Amazing. It had been ten years since my last trip on MS Expedition with this company. It is evenbetter now. Superb staff at every level. The itinerary was always subject to the weather but there was always a plan ‘b’ or even ‘c’. Following in the footsteps of Shacleton, Tom Crean etc was brilliant made even better by the experts on board and in the field. The whole trip could not be faulted and for this full credit to all the staff.

Best of Antarctica: Wildlife Explorer (Ocean Endeavour)

Great trip. One of best ones ever.

Journey to the Antarctic Circle (Ocean Endeavour)

I absolutely loved this trip; it was perfect for me and my daughter. What you should know about us is that we are up for adventure and don't expect to be treated like royalty. This trip was an "excursion", not a "cruise", so do not sign up if you are expecting multiple restaurants, live entertainment, or other such luxuries. But, if you want to have the experience of a lifetime, explore the last great wilderness on the planet, and learn more about how you can help conserve that wilderness, this is a fantastic trip. The itinerary changes day by day depending on the weather, but you just might find an unexplored cove to explore/chart for future trips (we did!) or be the southernmost commercial ship on the planet (we were!). You might have a whale swim under your boat and then pop up its head to say hello, or a penguin momma show off her egg. And you might have 20 foot waves in the Drake Passage. Go in with the willingness to adapt and you will love it!

Antarctic Express: Fly the Drake, Operated by Quark

The trip was amazing and the pristine environment in Antarctica needs to be seen and felt to be appreciated. Quark provided a platform to conduct the the trip in a sustainable manner, impeccable procedures to preserve the environment and also good food to enjoy. Thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable trip. One suggestion for Quark is to clearly advise future participants to cater 2-3 days leeway to allow for flights delay or cancellation due to the changeable weather conditions. There was a 2 days delay for my trip due to planes being unable to land in Antarctica due to accumulated snow on the runway. This caused a frantic rush to change flights and other travel arrangements for many participants aggravated by the limited internet access in Antarctica which could be avoidable or mitigated if the participants were advised of probable delays prior to the trip.

Classic Antarctica - 10 days

We can’t say enough good things about this tour, the ship and the crew. Our time on board was fantastic. Our captain had a great deal of experience and we felt completely safe at all times on the ship. The expedition team were knowledgable and friendly, and all the crew from the deck hands to the bridge went out of their way to be helpful and kind. The food was wonderful, the scenery unbelievable and the small passenger group made us all into friends by the end of the journey. If you have ever wanted to visit the White Continent, book your trip on the MV Ushuaia and be prepared to have the experience of a lifetime!!

Antarctica Vacation Packages

We offer all-inclusive, fully guided tours and Antarctica vacations. Boat tours to Antarctica are at the heart of your trip. Our all-inclusive tour packages to Antarctica from the USA and Canada can include flights, transfers, pre- and post-cruise overnights, and trip extensions throughout South America.

Many Antarctica vacations are specialized to focus on a particular landscape or style of travel. For instance, Antarctic Circle tours aim to cross the latitude at which the sun never sets. Some boat tours to Antarctica strive to view majestic emperor penguin colonies. Antarctic tours to the Falkland Islands and South Georgia Island venture beyond the Antarctic Peninsula. Some trips fly to Antarctica over the Drake Passage one way or round-trip. And Antarctica luxury cruises pair five-star suites and fine dining with adventure. Boat tours to Antarctica are as diverse as the polar landscape. 

Antarctica Adventure Trips

For travelers seeking more activity, we offer a range of Antarctic adventure trips. Hiking and Antarctic kayak tours explore farther and longer in search of wildlife and solitude. Antarctic camping trips allow adventurous guests to overnight on the continent. Antarctica ski touring can be arranged for skiers and snowboarders seeking the ultimate backcountry adventure.

Additional Antarctica adventure trips include mountaineering, cross-country skiing, ice climbing, snowshoeing, scuba diving and trekking. Adventure holidays in Antarctica are the most active way to explore up close. Many activities book far in advance so plan ahead when considering your Antarctic adventure trip.

Temperature & Rainfall

Antarctica Vacation Season

Antarctica weather is a lesson in extremes. Antarctica is the world’s coldest, windiest and driest continent. However, during the South Polar summer months when Antarctica tours operate (November-March) the winds subside considerably and the weather is surprisingly comfortable, averaging between 20 and 50 degrees F. The climate data listed above is for the Antarctic Peninsula. Learn more about the best time to visit Antarctica .

What Travelers Say About Their Trips to Antarctica

All of the staff were very professional and had the experience needed to make the trip the best!

Antarctica is a winning destination...but the fantastic service and attitude of the staff put this trip right over the top! I'm TELLING YOU, this was a FANTASTIC TEAM that I will never forget!

Wow, wow, wow!!! 3 course dinners, 5 star food, 100% satisfied. The staff and crew on the Plancius was amazing!!!

Excellent, a crown jewel in our world travels. There wasn't a flaw in the arrangements and the experience.

Each and every landing was unique. My husband and I enjoyed not just every one but their frequency as well.

Accommodations Review

Cabin was quite comfortable and staff took good care each time we were out. Camping was fun.  The only thing I was upset about was that there were not enough bivvies for all 60 people who signed up for camping and we literally had to make a run for it to be one of the lucky ones. For me, this was a criteria for picking this trip and had I NOT been one of the lucky ones I would have been quite disappointed.

Meals Review

Most meals were quite well done and certainly presentation was excellent. Some meals lacked flavor but that did not prevent us from eating enough. I know it is a challenge to make every meal GREAT and still compliment the chef.  

Crew & Guides Review

Shane did a very good job of keeping things on track. A couple of suggestions - make sure you have enough hiking poles for everyone on each hike. One of them the first wave of people took all of the poles and for us there were none left and the snow was quite deep. We were on the first landing and the staff caught on for the 2nd landing and notified those folks to please just take 1 pole so everyone has at least 1 pole.   

AdventureSmith Explorations Review

Nicely done and quickly answered all questions we had.  

Traveler Advice

Antarctica is a winning destination...but the fantastic service and attitude of the staff put this trip right over the top!  Everything ran extremely smoothly and was well organized by coordinators.  I felt well prepared with information and expectations for the trip.  The on-board expedition staff was just great: enthusiastic, filled with expertise, accommodating, and just a joy to be with!

Cheli Larsen (Expedition leader) has a wonderful set of skills: very well versed in all aspects of the trip, fantastic at assessing her customers and their interests, and great at communicating what was going on and why. The customer's frankly all fell in love with the expedition team and it was clear they were all in love with Cheli! Subject Matter experts: Colin, Colin S., Jim, and Damien were a great team. Time spent with them was my best time on the trip! Guides Emma, Marla, Val, and Dave were all exceptional. I don't mean to simply be "gushy" in this feedback; I'm TELLING YOU, this was a FANTASTIC TEAM that I will never forget!  

I felt well prepared for the trip.  Given the guidance I was given, I had all my papers properly organized for the phases of the trip in case I needed to refer to any (reciprocity tax, proof of evacuation insurance, etc.). The logistics went very smoothly. AdventureSmith clearly works with the creme-de-la-creme of Adventure Travel companies. Their selection of Quark Expeditions for this adventure was one that was very well placed. Having AdventureSmith to help me coordinate the logistics and prepare myself helped to ensure everything went extremely smoothly!

Don't take too many clothes!  Bring adequate and make use of on-board laundry!

The staff and crew on the Plancius was amazing!!! Professional, funny, knowledgeable, and friendly. The ship was perfect for small outings. I never felt cramped, no long lines, and it allowed everyone to experience the landings. The staff gave us the most for our dollar and even squeezed in an extra landing! Everything was well organized and planned. The added surprise bonus was the food!! Wow :) I was not expecting such high quality food a day presentation.

It was a little warm with no AC, but the room layout, space, storage, etc was perfect.

Wow, wow, wow!!! 3 course dinners, 5 star food, 100% satisfied.

Andrew Bishop was phenomenal! Well organized, humorous, and obviously loves his job. Liz Pope was equally amazing, the hotel manager and assistant (Johnny and Heidi) were so helpful and responsive. Kasper Jaeger was a great help with photography and really knew the areas. Louise adie was an incredible kayak guide! She was as excited as all of us when going out. She was honest about whether the kayak or zodiac landing was better and was knowledgeable in so many areas.

Provided information timely, followed up if I forgot something, and provided material to help make transitions and travel easier.

Excellent, a crown jewel in our world travels. There wasn't a flaw in the arrangements and the experience. All of the travelers were enthusiastic and friendly.

The chef and her staff were amazing and the menus absolutely gorgeous.

All of the experts and guides were topnotch.

Open heart, open mind and pack lightly. There were at least 2000 people trying to pass immigration and zero organization in the [Buenos Aires] airport. I would suggest, when possible, booking arrival for closer to noon.

Each and every landing was unique. My husband and I enjoyed not just every one but their frequency as well. The Ortelius crew went above and beyond to ensure we spent as much time on land as possible.

It would have been great for there to be a fruit basket or something along those lines available around the clock for when we got hungry (which was surprisingly more than usual).

All of the guides were very professional and knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed listening to their lectures.

No surprises and quick responses from Aaron Gaines. Both of those things were greatly appreciated.
