Whether you are sailing with Ponant or Silversea, Antarctica cruises are destined to be once-in-a-lifetime adventures that let you journey through areas that are simply put – out of this world. Step forth on a purpose-built Antarctica expedition cruise ship and embark on a voyage that few will ever get to experience. Throughout your journey down to Antarctica, you will likely enjoy an insightful selection of enrichment activities including lectures from special guests and walk-throughs from the talented crew on how best to explore Antarctica. All while tasting sumptuous flavours from the dining venues and befriending like-minded travellers at the various lounges and social areas. The most exciting part is that by this point you will be reaching the best part – Antarctica itself!
Boasting some truly marvellous landscapes and an endless horizon of blue and white, Antarctica cruises promise a never-ending supply of breathtaking moments. Safely board a Zodiac, take the adventure further by sailing through tighter waterways and encounter sights that change at every moment. Explore the overwhelming splendour of the Antarctic Peninsula and uncover glaciers, mountain-ranges, and stunning icebergs that need to be seen to be believed. Whether it’s the tranquil waters of Crystal Sound or the rugged grounds of Hope Bay, Antarctica cruises never fail to impress.
The highlight for many voyagers on Antarctica cruises and Antarctica holidays has to be the chance to come across the local and endemic wildlife of the region. While you will not meet any Polar Bears down south, travellers will certainly meet their fair share of penguins, seals, whales, and birds! Moreover, almost every luxury Antarctica cruise line accounts for this and will have scheduled into the itinerary multiple opportunities to get up close or see from afar these magnificent creatures. From encountering colonies of large Gentoo penguins to feeding friendly whales, we strongly recommend making in a reservation to these onshore activities if you are able. Plus, Antarctica cruises guests will be directed by experienced guides of the region, imparting their years (or even decades!) of knowledge about this beautiful locale and its lively wildlife.
