Antarctica beckons tourists during the summer, spanning from early November to late March, as the icy continent awakens from its cold and dark winter slumber.

During this time, the vast sea ice surrounding Antarctica thaws, expanding its accessible reaches. As the sun graces the land once again, a vibrant spectacle unfolds with penguin colonies, whale pods, and seal herds adorning the landscape. Expedition vessels navigate through serene bays and harbours, granting awe-inspiring views of the majestic Antarctic summer in all its splendour.

There are two ways to reach Antarctica:

1. Fly over Drake
Flying from Punta Arenas, Chile to King George Island in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. From there, you board an expedition cruise ship

2. Sail over Drake
The cruises depart from various embarkation points such as Ushuaia in Argentina, Punta Arenas in Chile, and Hobart in Australia. The cruises typically cross the Drake Passage, a stretch of sea known for its unpredictable and sometimes rough conditions.

To fully enjoy our voyages, it is recommended to be in good overall health and comfortable walking reasonable distances, including traversing uneven terrain. However, if you face difficulties walking on rough ground, you can still savour the breathtaking scenery along the shoreline. If you have any physical limitations, please inform us well ahead of your departure, but rest assured that such limitations should not deter you from participating.

We recommend children above the age of 10 be accompanied by an adult as a minimum age to travel to Antarctica. However, given the nature of the trip and the remoteness of the location, it may vary.

Since no country owns Antarctica, no visa is required. However, basis of your nationality you may need a visa from the country where your Antarctic expedition will depart, which is usually Argentina and Chile.
