A bucket-list item for most, the booming cruising market has made Antarctica so much more accessible for eager travelers. In the past, cruising infrastructure has meant that itineraries have only been able to enter the Antarctic circle, however new purpose-built cruising vessels are now getting guests deeper into the Great White Continent. Most Antarctic cruises depart and return from the South American mainland, however there are also a handful of unique itineraries that cruise from New Zealand.
Book with a professional travel advisor and you may unlock more than what appears in a standard online search. Depending on the supplier and trip, your advisor may have access to preferred or agency-negotiated group rates, special promotions, upgrades, onboard or resort credits, and other added-value benefits that are not always available through direct booking.
During our consultation, we may ask for a few details—such as your country or state of residence, ZIP code, age eligibility, military status, past-guest history, or loyalty memberships. These details can help us identify fares and benefits you may qualify for and compare them against publicly available options.
Not every offer applies to every traveler, and availability varies by supplier, destination, sailing, travel dates, and eligibility. But the more we know about your trip and the qualifications that may apply to you, the more thoroughly we can search for opportunities to enhance your vacation and help you secure the best available overall value not just the first price you see online.
