Many consider Antarctica the last frontier and the ultimate in travel experiences.\nTravel to the end of the Earth and explore the vast wilderness of the great white continent on one of our many incredible\nsmall ship expeditions\n. Travellers are invited to join us as we explore the planet’s most remote continent with its unspoilt, awe-inspiring scenery and incredible wildlife encounters.\nAntarctica is the fifth largest, the coldest and the driest continent on Earth. Cruises not only offer travellers the amazing opportunity to observe the abundance of wildlife it has to offer from the comfort of their expedition vessel, but also to gain inspirational insights from a dedicated and knowledgeable crew who spend their working lives traversing the icy ends of the globe. This is truly the very height of exciting travel and adventure holidays. Add the great, white continent to your travel itinerary and see for yourself what the most remote destination on the planet can offer you.\nThe Antarctica cruise season runs from November to March each year – with the months of November and March generally having the cheaper cruises, and December to mid-February being the peak season. Each month really offers its unique advantages.\nCruises to Antarctica depart from South America\nor\nlonger voyages to Antarctica from Australia or New Zealand\n. The voyage from South America is the more affordable and popular departure option having considerably less sea days, but the Australia and New Zealand options offer an opportunity to see the sub-Antarctic islands crossing the Ross Sea and witness the amazing King and Emperor Penguins.\nLuxury Antarctica cruises\noffer travellers a unique opportunity to explore this isolated wilderness with the comforts of a luxury hotel as they move around.\nChoose from our range of fascinating trips or\ncontact us\nand we’ll be happy to tailor the perfect itinerary to suit your requirements.\nPlan By Season\nAll Antarctica Deals By Season\nLast Minute!\n25\/26 Season Last Minute Deals\nView Deals\nSeason Deals!\n26\/27 Season Deals\nView Deals\nEarly Bird!\n27\/28 Season Early Bird Deals\nView Deals\nHot This Month\nHandpicked Deals & Popular Tours\nUnique cruises!\nAntarctic Cruises from\/to Australia & New Zealand\nEmbark on an extraordinary adventure with cruises from\/to Australia and New Zealand to East Antarctica!\nHot This Month!\nSouth Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula\n20 March 2026 departure - From AUD $8,954pp. Classic 10-day voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula on reduced prices.

Early season (October–November) has dramatic ice and fewer crowds, peak season (December–January) offers long daylight and active penguin colonies, and late season (February–March) can be excellent for whale sightings and softer light.\n\nHow do travellers usually get to Antarctica?\n\nThe majority of visitors reach Antarctica by **expedition ship cruising from South America (usually from Ushuaia, Argentina)** across the Drake Passage. A small number fly part of the route (fly-cruise options exist) before joining a ship, and a few specialised expeditions fly directly to inland sites.\n\nWhat wildlife can I expect to see in Antarctica?\n\nAntarctic wildlife highlights include **penguin colonies (gentoo, chinstrap, Adelie), seals (elephant, fur, leopard), whales and a variety of seabirds**. Sightings can vary by itinerary and season, but wildlife is abundant around coastline landing areas and on Zodiac excursions.\n\nHow long should an Antarctica trip be?\n\nAntarctic voyages vary from **about 10 nights to several weeks**, depending on whether you visit just the Antarctic Peninsula or include places like the Falklands, South Georgia or the Ross Sea. Longer voyages give more time for exploration and higher chances of wildlife encounters.\n\nWhat should I pack for an Antarctica trip?\n\nLayered clothing is essential because weather can change rapidly — include **thermal base layers, waterproof outer gear, insulated gloves, hat and UV-protective sunglasses**. Many expeditions provide parkas and rubber boots, but confirm gear included ahead of time. Our Antarctica specialists will provide detail packing guidelines and recommendations ahead of your trip.\n\nHow physically fit do I need to be for an Antarctic cruise or expedition?\n\nYou don’t need to be an athlete to visit Antarctica, but you should be in **good general health** and able to walk on uneven terrain during Zodiac landings or short hikes. Expedition leaders can help accommodate different fitness levels, but if you have mobility concerns, check with us before booking and we can recommend the most suitable options.\n\nStories to inspire\n\n## Blog Posts on Antarctica\n[![](https:\/\/eclipsetravel.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image5-1-768x1024.jpg)](https:\/\/eclipsetravel.com.au\/crossing-the-antarctic-circle-in-style-with-swan-hellenic\/)\n\nMarch 19, 2026\n\n\\|\n\nDaniel Tilyard\n## [Crossing the Antarctic Circle in Style with Swan Hellenic](https:\/\/eclipsetravel.com.au\/crossing-the-antarctic-circle-in-style-with-swan-hellenic\/)\nAntarctica has always felt like one of those destinations reserved for “one day”, a place that lives at the top of travel bucket lists for years before becoming reality.

Boilerpipe Text	Antarctica Cruises & Travel Tours for the Ultimate Adventure Antarctica is often considered the ultimate travel destination for Australians, and the best way to visit Antarctica is on an expedition cruise . Many consider Antarctica the last frontier and the ultimate in travel experiences. Travel to the end of the Earth and explore the vast wilderness of the great white continent on one of our many incredible small ship expeditions . Travellers are invited to join us as we explore the planet’s most remote continent with its unspoilt, awe-inspiring scenery and incredible wildlife encounters. Antarctica is the fifth largest, the coldest and the driest continent on Earth. Cruises not only offer travellers the amazing opportunity to observe the abundance of wildlife it has to offer from the comfort of their expedition vessel, but also to gain inspirational insights from a dedicated and knowledgeable crew who spend their working lives traversing the icy ends of the globe. This is truly the very height of exciting travel and adventure holidays. Add the great, white continent to your travel itinerary and see for yourself what the most remote destination on the planet can offer you. The Antarctica cruise season runs from November to March each year – with the months of November and March generally having the cheaper cruises, and December to mid-February being the peak season. Each month really offers its unique advantages. Cruises to Antarctica depart from South America or longer voyages to Antarctica from Australia or New Zealand . The voyage from South America is the more affordable and popular departure option having considerably less sea days, but the Australia and New Zealand options offer an opportunity to see the sub-Antarctic islands crossing the Ross Sea and witness the amazing King and Emperor Penguins. Luxury Antarctica cruises offer travellers a unique opportunity to explore this isolated wilderness with the comforts of a luxury hotel as they move around. Choose from our range of fascinating trips or contact us and we’ll be happy to tailor the perfect itinerary to suit your requirements.

Most Antarctic cruises and expeditions run during the Austral summer from October to March, when sea ice recedes enough for ships to reach the continent and wildlife activity is higher. Early season (October–November) has dramatic ice and fewer crowds, peak season (December–January) offers long daylight and active penguin colonies, and late season (February–March) can be excellent for whale sightings and softer light. How do travellers usually get to Antarctica? The majority of visitors reach Antarctica by expedition ship cruising from South America (usually from Ushuaia, Argentina) across the Drake Passage. A small number fly part of the route (fly-cruise options exist) before joining a ship, and a few specialised expeditions fly directly to inland sites. What wildlife can I expect to see in Antarctica? Antarctic wildlife highlights include penguin colonies (gentoo, chinstrap, Adelie), seals (elephant, fur, leopard), whales and a variety of seabirds. Sightings can vary by itinerary and season, but wildlife is abundant around coastline landing areas and on Zodiac excursions. How long should an Antarctica trip be? Antarctic voyages vary from about 10 nights to several weeks, depending on whether you visit just the Antarctic Peninsula or include places like the Falklands, South Georgia or the Ross Sea. Longer voyages give more time for exploration and higher chances of wildlife encounters. What should I pack for an Antarctica trip? Layered clothing is essential because weather can change rapidly — include thermal base layers, waterproof outer gear, insulated gloves, hat and UV-protective sunglasses. Many expeditions provide parkas and rubber boots, but confirm gear included ahead of time. Our Antarctica specialists will provide detail packing guidelines and recommendations ahead of your trip. How physically fit do I need to be for an Antarctic cruise or expedition? You don’t need to be an athlete to visit Antarctica, but you should be in good general health and able to walk on uneven terrain during Zodiac landings or short hikes. Expedition leaders can help accommodate different fitness levels, but if you have mobility concerns, check with us before booking and we can recommend the most suitable options.
