With its barren, windswept snow dunes and dramatic ice cliffs, it's often said to leave visitors breathless -- though that could be the freezing-cold temperatures.\nGetting to Antarctica, though, is not easy; there are only two ways in or out -- by plane or by ship. Flights are expensive and have to be booked through a specialty operator, flying in and out the same day. But several cruise lines are now taking advantage of this to let passengers leary of the notoriously rough Drake Passage head right to the ship waiting for them at the White Continent.\nCruises are offered regularly during local summer months (at least those south of the equator, or rather winter for those above in the north), by many different operators. A cruise offers the chance to visit multiple spots on the Antarctic Peninsula, as well as the South Shetland Islands and possibly even go as far east as South Georgia or (much rarer) all the way south to the Ross Sea.\nNo matter the route, every day of an Antarctic cruise is full of spectacular scenery and wildlife-viewing opportunities that can't be beat anywhere else on the planet.\nPopular Activities in Antarctica\nZodiac cruising and shore landings are by far the most popular activities on an Antarctica cruise. Whether you're whizzing by a glacier, hoping to catch an iceberg calve off or are checking out a colony of seals napping on a large ice floe or penguins on the march, getting onto an inflatable rubber boat to check out the sights is the highlight of every day.\nEqually, shore landings, which might take cruisers to a remote scientific station or to within a few feet of curious baby wildlife, offer once-in-a-lifetime memories.\nSome Antarctic cruises also offer cruisers the chance to hike, snowshoe, mountaineer, swim or even stay ashore overnight during shore landings.\nWhen to Go to Antarctica\nMexico is a year-round destination, though the country can get steamy during the summer months; most lines call in the fall\/winter and even spring seasons. Plus, the dry season is typically November through May. Though weather will vary depending on where you are, expect daytime temperatures in the 70s and 80s Fahrenheit (21 to 27 Celsius).\nIf you're heading to Mexico for the whale watching, especially in the Sea of Cortez (off Mexico's west coast) – mostly on an expedition cruise – come during the winter. Whales begin to arrive in December, and your best chances of a sighting last through March.\nPopular Ports in Antarctica\nClassic Antarctica sailings visit Deception Island, Port Lockroy, Elephant Island and Half Moon Island (one of the Shetland Islands). The Lemaire Channel is also a popular attraction; though not a port, Zodiacs are often lowered here for scenic cruising.\nLonger Antarctic itineraries might also include stops in South Georgia and the Falkland Islands.\nDeparture Ports in Antarctica\nAntarctic cruises depart from Ushuaia, Argentina. A handful of cruise lines offer fly-and-cruise packages, allowing cruisers to bypass the Drake Passage, which is notorious for rough seas, and fly from Ushuaia to the South Shetland Islands and pick up their cruise there.\nCruise deals to Antarctica\nHere are our best tips for finding a cheap cruise or cruise deal to Antarctica. If you book a “guaranteed cabin” (they select for you), a cabin on a lower deck, then you can get the best price for a specific cruise to Antarctica. As newer expedition ships emerge, older vessels in the region tend to be cheaper by comparison. Also, truly last-minute cruise deals to Antarctica can be had should you decide to fly down to Argentina and see what options arise only days before departure. Otherwise, there's not really a shoulder season to take advantage of, since the peak season is so short to begin with.","attrs_markdown":"- [Restaurants](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Restaurants)\n- [Things to do](https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attractions)\n\n- -

Boilerpipe Text	Why Cruise to Antarctica A classic bucket-list destination, Antarctica is one of the most breathtaking places on the planet -- and also one of the vastest, covering nearly 10 percent of the earth's surface. With its barren, windswept snow dunes and dramatic ice cliffs, it's often said to leave visitors breathless -- though that could be the freezing-cold temperatures. Getting to Antarctica, though, is not easy; there are only two ways in or out -- by plane or by ship. Flights are expensive and have to be booked through a specialty operator, flying in and out the same day. But several cruise lines are now taking advantage of this to let passengers leary of the notoriously rough Drake Passage head right to the ship waiting for them at the White Continent. Cruises are offered regularly during local summer months (at least those south of the equator, or rather winter for those above in the north), by many different operators. A cruise offers the chance to visit multiple spots on the Antarctic Peninsula, as well as the South Shetland Islands and possibly even go as far east as South Georgia or (much rarer) all the way south to the Ross Sea. No matter the route, every day of an Antarctic cruise is full of spectacular scenery and wildlife-viewing opportunities that can't be beat anywhere else on the planet. Popular Activities in Antarctica Zodiac cruising and shore landings are by far the most popular activities on an Antarctica cruise. Whether you're whizzing by a glacier, hoping to catch an iceberg calve off or are checking out a colony of seals napping on a large ice floe or penguins on the march, getting onto an inflatable rubber boat to check out the sights is the highlight of every day. Equally, shore landings, which might take cruisers to a remote scientific station or to within a few feet of curious baby wildlife, offer once-in-a-lifetime memories. Some Antarctic cruises also offer cruisers the chance to hike, snowshoe, mountaineer, swim or even stay ashore overnight during shore landings. When to Go to Antarctica Mexico is a year-round destination, though the country can get steamy during the summer months; most lines call in the fall/winter and even spring seasons.

Whether you're whizzing by a glacier, hoping to catch an iceberg calve off or are checking out a colony of seals napping on a large ice floe or penguins on the march, getting onto an inflatable rubber boat to check out the sights is the highlight of every day. Equally, shore landings, which might take cruisers to a remote scientific station or to within a few feet of curious baby wildlife, offer once-in-a-lifetime memories. Some Antarctic cruises also offer cruisers the chance to hike, snowshoe, mountaineer, swim or even stay ashore overnight during shore landings. ## When to Go to Antarctica Mexico is a year-round destination, though the country can get steamy during the summer months; most lines call in the fall/winter and even spring seasons. Plus, the dry season is typically November through May. Though weather will vary depending on where you are, expect daytime temperatures in the 70s and 80s Fahrenheit (21 to 27 Celsius). If you're heading to Mexico for the whale watching, especially in the Sea of Cortez (off Mexico's west coast) – mostly on an expedition cruise – come during the winter. Whales begin to arrive in December, and your best chances of a sighting last through March. ## Popular Ports in Antarctica Classic Antarctica sailings visit Deception Island, Port Lockroy, Elephant Island and Half Moon Island (one of the Shetland Islands). The Lemaire Channel is also a popular attraction; though not a port, Zodiacs are often lowered here for scenic cruising. Longer Antarctic itineraries might also include stops in South Georgia and the Falkland Islands. ## Departure Ports in Antarctica Antarctic cruises depart from Ushuaia, Argentina. A handful of cruise lines offer fly-and-cruise packages, allowing cruisers to bypass the Drake Passage, which is notorious for rough seas, and fly from Ushuaia to the South Shetland Islands and pick up their cruise there. ## Cruise deals to Antarctica Here are our best tips for finding a cheap cruise or cruise deal to Antarctica. If you book a “guaranteed cabin” (they select for you), a cabin on a lower deck, then you can get the best price for a specific cruise to Antarctica. As newer expedition ships emerge, older vessels in the region tend to be cheaper by comparison. Also, truly last-minute cruise deals to Antarctica can be had should you decide to fly down to Argentina and see what options arise only days before departure. Otherwise, there's not really a shoulder season to take advantage of, since the peak season is so short to begin with.
