What Should I Pack for an Antarctica Trip?

Packing for an Antarctica trip requires careful planning due to the unique weather conditions. Essentials include thermal base layers, a high-quality waterproof jacket, insulated waterproof boots, and polarized sunglasses to protect against the intense reflection from the snow and ice. Don’t forget to pack plenty of thermal socks, gloves, and a hat to stay warm. A reusable water bottle and a power bank to keep your devices charged are also highly recommended. Be sure to check our comprehensive Antarctica packing list for more details, including low, mid-range, and high-end gear recommendations, so you’re fully prepared for your adventure.

How Much Does a Last-Minute Antarctica Trip Cost?

The cost of a last-minute Antarctica trip can vary depending on the type of expedition, the time of year, and the availability of last-minute deals. Typically, prices for last minute Antarctica deals range from $5,000 to $15,000 per person, though you can often find discounted offers for budget travelers. Luxury Antarctica expeditions may cost more, but last-minute deals can significantly lower the price. Check our Last-Minute Antarctica Deals for the best current offers and ensure you get the most value for your adventure.

What Is the Best Time of Year to Visit Antarctica?

The best time to visit Antarctica is during the summer months of November to March. This period offers longer daylight hours and milder temperatures, making it ideal for wildlife viewing and exploration. It’s also when most Antarctica cruises operate. Last-minute deals are often available during this season, so be sure to check our Antarctica Deals for the latest offers.

When Are the Best Antarctica Cruise Deals?

The best Antarctica cruise deals can often be found during the shoulder season months of November and March, as well as last-minute offerings. These deals offer significant discounts on both budget and luxury Antarctica cruises. We regularly update our Last-Minute Antarctica Deals to feature the best prices available, so be sure to explore current offers and sign up for our email list to get the latest deals directly in your inbox.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for an Antarctica Expedition?

Yes, it is highly recommended to have travel insurance for an Antarctica expedition. Due to the remote location and extreme weather conditions, comprehensive insurance that covers medical evacuation, trip cancellations, and delays is essential. Some cruise operators even require proof of travel insurance before boarding. Make sure you have the right coverage for your Antarctic adventure.

Are Your Deals As Good as the Walk-Up Deals in Ushuaia?

Yes! Many travelers believe the best deals are only found by walking up in Ushuaia, but we offer deals just as good—sometimes even better. Our exclusive partnerships allow us to secure last-minute Antarctica deals that are often more competitive than what you might find as a walk-up deal in Ushuaia. The added benefit? You can lock in your spot before arriving, avoiding the stress and uncertainty of finding availability at the last minute. Explore our Last-Minute Antarctica Deals to see how much you can save.

Can I Bring a Penguin Home?

Unfortunately, penguins prefer the icy waters of Antarctica, so they probably won’t enjoy your living room! But you can visit them anytime with our last-minute cruise deals. (We had to include this… there was an incident once.)

What Size Bag Will Hold a Penguin?

Roughly 33x23x14 inches—though you might want to start rehearsing your story for customs now.
