Antarctica Cruises: Incredible Voyages to the White Continent & Arctic Explorations
Antarctica Cruises offer the traveler a unique opportunity to experience the seventh continent, an exotic and very popular "must see" destination. An Antarctica cruise is a special journey to a continent about which the world's nations stated: "We will not discontent this land with 'civilization.' We shall admire, and study, and let it be."
On an Antarctica cruise will see glaciers and icebergs the size of skyscrapers and walk along beaches with thousands of penguins. Whales and elephant seals glide by. Antarctica is truly the world’s last wilderness.
Selecting the Right Antarctic Cruise
There are a growing number of cruise lines that operate cruises to Antarctica, from small ships to larger cruise ships. It's important to compare to see what your Antarctica cruise includes, and which cruise lines allow you to go ashore. The short visiting season is between December and February, when days are long and temperatures are comfortable in the 30's and 40's.
Some of the small ship cruise lines operating Antarctica cruise lines include: Lindblad Expeditions, Orion Expedition Cruises (operating very unique Antarctica cruises from Australia side rather than the South America side), Silversea's Prince Albert II, Hurtigruten, plus large ship cruise lines:
Celebrity Cruises, Cruise West, Holland America
and Princess Cruises.
Most trips depart from Buenos Aires or Ushuaia, Argentina, and some South America cruises include Antarctica in their itineraries.
Exploring the Arctic
Travel under the midnight sun to the Arctic, where the wild things are. Seek out polar bears, walrus, reindeers and whales, as well as magnficent glaciers.
Three expedition cruise lines that visit The Arctic include: Lindblad Expeditions, Silversea's Prince Albert II and Hurtigruten.
