Cruising is one of the things you should do if you want to experience the best vacation. But when it comes to adventure and fun, taking Antarctica Cruises is sure to be the best experience. Depending on how active you want to be and how much luxury you want on your cruise ship, you can enjoy different types of Antarctic cruises. Whether there are cruises on a large luxury liner offering 5-star services or Online Antarctica Small Ship Cruises for a more relaxed and hands-on experience of Antarctic wildlife, you are sure to get the best vacation experiences.

All kinds of cruise ships that can accommodate 20 to 200 passengers sail along the Arctic Circle where life is only possible for a few. Most cruise ships can take kayaks to the iceberg, weather permitting, where you can hike or even camp overnight if you dare.

With no human habitation, Antarctica remains pristine, and passengers aboard Antarctic cruise ships visiting the continent can see pristine natural environments found nowhere else in the world. The sea is clear and blue, and the ice formations that rise from it are stunning works of art. Marine life such as whales and sea lions delight cruise ship passengers, and land life such as penguins delight passengers on boat tours.

There are so many factors that should be taken into account while on Antarctica cruise trips. The factors include-

• How much time do you want to spend?

• What type of cruise ship and size and you would prefer?


• What are the activities you may go for while on a trip? 


• What are the places you would visit?

Antarctica Cruise Trip Length of Time

Cruises to Antarctica last as little as 5 days and as long as 30 days. When planning your trip, allow at least one day to arrive at your cruise departure point. The shortest cruise includes a round-trip flight from South America to Antarctica. Flight is included in the cruise package. Longer Antarctic cruises start later in the season (January to March) as they can go further south after the sea ice recedes. 

The most important factor is the size of the cruise ship. Size means how many passengers it can carry, not how long it is. In our experience, this can have a huge impact on your cruise experience.  Some people want to have intimate experiences. In that case, Antarctica Small Ship Cruises would be suitable.

• Luxury liners refer to travel class, not size.  You'll enjoy luxurious accommodations, spacious public areas, and 5-star amenities.


• Expedition vessels allow you to get up close but have minimal impact on the environment due to adherence to conservation principles. These ships are designed to carry a small number of passengers for a more intimate travel experience.
