Antarctica Cruises & Tours

Explore Antarctica on an out-of-this-world adventure 

With us, it’s good trips only. And as far as good old-fashioned adventures go, this is the big one. You’ll cross the infamous Drake Passage and set foot on the Antarctic Peninsula. Explore ice-dotted bays by Zodiac. Marvel at waddling gentoo penguins and spot migrating blue whales. The reasons why you should visit Antarctica are endless. By travelling with us, you'll experience this incredible part of the world in a way that builds human connection and gets closer to nature while respecting the environment. 

'Antarctic cruises' doesn't really do it justice. These are Antarctic adventures. 

Our Antarctica trips

The ocean endeavour: inside our expedition ship, why choose us.

Our Ocean Endeavour is built tough; designed to handle the harsh Antarctic wilderness with ease while ensuring your safety at every step of the adventure.

Our experienced expedition team are at the top of their fields. You’ll find out everything you want to know from our Antarctic experts, including naturalists and ornithologists.  

We don’t call them hands-on, feet-on adventures for nothing. Get closer to the action with, not one, but two daily excursions on land and, via Zodiacs, at sea. 

Our onboard creature comforts will warm you up after your Antarctic outings. Expect 3-course meals, 24/7 tea and coffee and fascinating evening seminars.  

We’re committed to providing the highest safety standards, which is why the Ocean Endeavour, and all our operations teams undergo regular safety audits.

Eating and drinking.

Eating and drinking in Antarctica is done aboard your expedition ship, with all meals provided for the duration of your journey. Tea and coffee, as well as soft drinks and juices, are ready to greet you when you come back from a shore landing and at meal times, while alcoholic beverages are also available, but for an additional price.

Breakfasts and lunches tend to be buffet style, while dinners are typically served tableside and usually feature three courses. The range of food is diverse, with professional chefs preparing a wide selection of gourmet dishes, and a vegetarian option is always included. Afternoon tea, with pastries or cookies, is also provided every day.

If you have any dietary requirements or food allergies, please let us know before the trip starts. If you have a more restrictive dietary requirement (vegan, gluten intolerance, fructose intolerance, etc) it is likely you can be catered for. Unfortunately, we are unable to cater for a kosher diet.

There may not be any stores on the Antarctic Peninsula, but that doesn't mean you can't do any shopping. The Ocean Endeavour has its very own polar boutique equipped with every little knickknack and thingamabob you might need to help commemorate your journey to the seventh continent (think all the essentials, clothing and souvenirs).

Geography and environment

Encompassed by the Antarctic convergence (an uneven line of latitude where the cold waters of the Antarctic merge with the warmer waters of the world's oceans), Antarctica is both cold and remote, located in the Southern Hemisphere. Due to its south-polar position, the Antarctic continent is covered in ice and experiences very harsh conditions unsuitable for permanent human residency.

While plenty of animals live in Antarctica (such as various species of whale, penguin, seal and bird), there are very few humans that call Antarctica home, instead using the region as a base for research. There are no cities in Antarctica but there are several research stations positioned on the continent belonging to various countries like Russia, the United States and Australia.

History and government

Antarctica was formed around 35 million years ago and remained undiscovered until around 1820 when Russian explorers spotted the mainland. However, this may have only been the first documented discovery of Antarctica, as it's believed that Pacific Islanders may have reached the white continent in 650 AD.

There were many attempts to set foot at the South Pole in the early 20th century, so much so that it was dubbed the 'Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration', with many trying and failing until a Norwegian explorer by the name of Roald Amundsen reached in 1911. Exploration didn't stop there though with a total of 17 major expeditions launched in the following years from 10 different countries, the last one being Ernest Shackleton's last ill-fated voyage in 1917.

Antarctica isn't owned by one single country, instead governed internationally through the Antarctic Treaty system signed in 1959 by 12 countries who had sent scientists to Antarctica during and around that time. These countries included Argentina, Australia, France, Japan, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Further reading

Antarctica travel faqs, where is antarctica.

Antarctica refers to the seventh continent of the world and is largely situated in the Antarctic Circle - a line of latitude sitting at around 66.5° south of the equator - at the base of the globe.

The Antarctic refers to the region made up of south polar zones that include the seas and some outlying islands. 

What country is Antarctica in?

Antarctica isn't part of one single country, rather it is a continent governed under a series of recognised guidelines and agreements called the Antarctic Treaty System.

What types of animals live in Antarctica?

While Antarctica may not be hospitable to human life, there are plenty of animal species that call the seventh continent their home. This includes penguins, whales, sea birds, seals, and more. 

What is it like travelling solo on a cruise to Antarctica?

While you can't embark on an expedition to the world's seventh continent alone, you can travel solo on a group tour to Antarctica.

This means you'll still have plenty of free time to do your own thing (and use the ship's excellent amenities) but also have the comfort of knowing expert leaders are handling the pesky logistics.

You can also choose from a variety of accommodation arrangements, from single cabins to room-sharing, depending on your preference. 

When is the best time to visit Antarctica?

Antarctica is best visited in the summer months from November to March when the weather is warmer and the sea ice has melted enough to get closer to the island shore.

What is the weather like in Antarctica?

The climate in Antarctica is the coldest one on Earth with cold summers and freezing winters. The warmest month is January with averages of around 10°C (50°F).

What do I wear in Antarctica?

You have to be prepared and thorough when packing for Antarctica due to its remote location. Make sure you bring lots of layers, gloves, sunscreen, and moisturiser among other items.

Is there internet, wi-fi, email or telephone access available on the ships?

Internet access is available on most Antarctic ships, at a cost. Alternatively, there may be a ship-based email system where you will have an email account to stay in touch with family and friends. Because of the remoteness of Antarctica, connections can be slow, so all ships charge for data used rather than time spent online. Please refer to your detailed pre-departure information for more information on Internet facilities on your ship.

Will my mobile phone work in Antarctica? 

Your mobile phone will not work during your Antarctica cruise as the continent is still considered extremely remote and doesn't have the right telecommunication infrastructure in place.

Can my family and friends contact me while I’m on board in the case of an emergency at home?

Yes. There is a number to call the ship and you can purchase data for the wi-fi onboard, although the connection is intermittent and not to be relied on.

How do I choose an Antarctic cruise?

Deciding on the Antarctic cruise that suits you best comes down to figuring out the time of year you want to go, the itinerary, and how long you want the cruise to be.

How much does a cruise to Antarctica cost?

The cost of an Antarctica cruise largely depends on the departure date, how long the cruise goes for, and the type of cabin you book on the ship but most cruises start from AUD$7,000.

How fit do I need to be to travel to Antarctica?

While the destination itself might conjure up images of nefarious voyages only the fittest can endure, you only need to be in good health and be able to move around freely to participate in and enjoy Antarctica's numerous activities and adventures.

If you have an average fitness level (and above) you are compatible with Antarctica travel, so you don't need to spend hours in the gym before considering booking a trip. 

How do we meet our responsible travel targets in Antarctica?

This question is something we thought long and hard about before deciding to run our own ship in Antarctica. We’re deeply committed to being a responsible business and understanding the impact we have on the places we visit. All Intrepid trips are  100% carbon neutral , but we are driven to do more, from committing to science-based decarbonisation targets to and recently updating our  Seven-point Climate Action Plan . 

We’ve approached responsible travel in Antarctica with three areas of focus that we believe will create the greatest positive impact: inspiring travellers, supporting science and protecting the environment. 

Does my trip to Antarctica support The Intrepid Foundation?

Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. In fact, we make a donation on behalf of every traveller. Trips to Antarctica directly support our foundation partner, WWF.

WWF-Australia is a well-established conservation organisation helping protect our natural environment. Donations from our trips help their pioneering whale research and conservation efforts to establish marine protected areas around Antarctica and save whale species from extinction. 

Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.

Itinerary notes.

This trip is assigned a Physical Rating of 2. It is accessible to most fitness levels and for those able to do extended walks and light hiking on various terrain. It is important to note that for landings in Antarctica we use Zodiacs and wet beach landings in what sometimes can be extreme environments. This will require you to be able to safely navigate ice and snow on uneven ground, to lift your leg over the side of a Zodiac and push yourself up, walk on wet, rocky beaches and stand throughout the landing with no place to sit. Our expedition team is there to assist you if needed but having good mobility is important for your safety and enjoyment. Please also note that the G Expedition does not have an elevator and thus staircases must be used to move between decks, and depending on the weather the ship can sometimes find itself navigating rough and choppy sea conditions. For visual examples of the zodiac landings and activities please refer to the Excursions image gallery on the Expedition landing page here .

Day 1 Ushuaia

Arrive in Ushuaia at any time. Arrival transfer included. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the world's most southerly city.

Day 2 Ushuaia/Drake Passage

Enjoy a free morning in Ushuaia. Do any last minute shopping, explore the town, or visit the surrounding countryside. Embarkation on the G Expedition begins in the afternoon at the port in Ushuaia. Enjoy the evening sailing through the Beagle Channel.

Meals included:

Days 3–4 drake passage/south shetland islands.

The adventure begins with an 1000km (600 mi) crossing of the passage named in honour of 16th-century English sea captain and privateer, Sir Francis Drake. The ship is at home in this part of the Southern Ocean. Take in daily lectures from the expedition team and keep an eye out for icebergs, whales, and albatross following in the G Expedition's wake.

Days 5–10 South Shetland Islands/Antarctic Peninsula

With a total of six days to explore the world's most southerly ecosystem, there's more time to encounter the unique wildlife and awe-inspiring scenery of the Antarctic. Attempt two shore landings per day (weather permitting) to encounter penguin rookeries, get a good look at the variety of seal species, and keep an eye out for the whales that feed in the peninsula's cold, fertile waters.

Days 11–12 Drake Passage/Ushuaia

Begin the journey north to the home port of Ushuaia. Review the highlights of the Antarctic experience with the lecturers and staff. Keep eyes peeled on the observation deck for some last-minute whale sightings.

Day 13 Ushuaia

Disembark the G Expedition after breakfast.

Travel to this Southern Hemisphere region for modern exploration of this enigmatic land and its interesting wildlife.

Depart from Ushuaia, “the end of the world,” in Argentina or charter a boat from the Falklands, also called Islas Malvinas. Make the longer extreme cruise from Port of Bluff, New Zealand to Macquarie Island and on to Antarctica’s Ross Sea region.

Many tours from South America start at South Georgia, an island due east of Terre del Fuego, Argentina. Grytviken is the British settlement. Its primary attraction is the South Georgia Museum, once a whaling centre and now a museum housing artifacts from whaling, exploration and natural history. See rusting remnants of the one-time significant whaling industry on grounds near the museum.

Nearby find Sir Ernest Shackleton’s grave. Shackleton participated in three expeditions in Antarctica, including the ill-fated trip on the Endurance, which was caught in pack ice and beset for a year, eventually sinking in frigid waters. Shackleton suffered a heart attack on his last voyage and died in South Georgia.

Stop in the Grytviken Church, also known as the Norwegian Lutheran Church, a compact white structure with a tall spire and mountain backdrop. Established in 1913, the church has withstood the harshly cold conditions for over 100 years. Pay respects to the whalers, sailors and explorers who have lost their lives in the region’s seas and snow. Fur seals abound on South Georgia and may be aggressive observe them from a good distance.

As you travel south to the continent itself, the weather can become harsher and more variable. View the rugged coastline of cliffs and moraines. Here you’ll see Antarctica’s plentiful wildlife, much of it unique to the region. Look for albatross, cormorant and petrels flying past your boat.

Hope for calm seas to make a Zodiac landing. On land, your guide may lead you to a rookery with tens of thousands of penguins: rockhopper, Gentoo, macaroni, emperor, chinstrap and adelie penguins. Notice adult-size chicks with fluffy brown down amid their more recognizable white-chested king penguin elders.

Most tourist excursions to the continent occur during the warmer temperatures of December to March when sunlight may last through the evening. Travelling to Antarctica requires good planning well in advance of the trip. Be prepared for cold and wet conditions, changeable weather, rough sailing and seasickness. Pack lightly, but bring layers of waterproof clothing and protective camera covers. A trip to Antarctica is expensive, but your memories will last a lifetime.

Asean Express Freight Train arrives in Laos with KTMB’s Rolling Stock, boosting regional trade

No substitute for asean even as south-east asian countries express interest in joining brics: singapore fm, asean news headlines at 10pm on sunday (july 14, 2024).

PETALING JAYA: The cargo train connecting Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, and China, known as the Asean Express, has returned to Malaysia after a 14-day trip to Chongqing, China.

The train was welcomed at its final stop at Kontena Nasional Inland Clearance Depot (KNICD) at 11am on Thursday (July 11).

This marks the first completed trip of the Asean Express to Malaysia. The train, carrying 20 wagons of 40m containers, started its journey on June 27.

On its inbound journey, the train carried sodium sulfate from China, which will be used to make detergents. During its outbound journey, the train transported food products to Thanaleng, Laos, and China.

“This is the first inbound trip; we hope that there will be more trips between the countries,” said Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bh (KTMB) chief operating officer Mohd Zain Mat Taha.

He noted that the trip one-way takes about nine days and crosses through Thailand, Laos, and then to China.

The schedule for the next cargo train and its frequency is unconfirmed. However, KTMB corporate planning head Abdul Salim Shah Abdul Aziz said that they currently expect about two to three trips a month.

As the service grows, the aim is to run daily trains, he added.

The Asean Express is expected to boost trade connectivity between Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, and China as it is a faster mode of transportation, taking nine days for goods to reach China compared to 14 to 21 days by sea.

Malaysia Airlines hosts first-ever trade elevation summit

The flag carrier’s summit is malaysia’s biggest airline trade event to date, with around 300 international and domestic delegates.

Malaysia Airlines successfully hosted the first-ever Malaysia Airlines Trade Elevation Summit, the largest industry event of its kind in the country.

A collaborative effort with Tourism Malaysia (TM) and the Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB), the summit helped advance the goals of Visit Malaysia Year 2026 while positioning Kuala Lumpur as a gateway for Asia and beyond. 

By organising and hosting this event, Malaysia Airlines has again proven its commitment to leveraging its role as a Malaysian carrier to support national tourism objectives and reinforce the country’s position as a true ASEAN tourism and aviation hub. 

More than just another conference

According to Malaysia Aviation Group managing director Izham Ismail, the Malaysia Airlines Trade Elevation Summit was more than just another conference or tradeshow. Instead, it was a celebration of the partnerships that have defined the flag carrier’s inclusive spirit through its global collaborations for mutual growth. 

Ismail said: “ We are pleased to collaborate with industry leaders, including travel agents worldwide and Malaysian stakeholders like Tourism Malaysia and MyCEB to drive innovation, efficiency and growth in the aviation industry and beyond. We will continue leveraging these partnerships to fuel our expansion, increase our reach and commit our efforts to drive growth both domestically and globally, and look forward to forging strategic partnerships that form a robust network, broadening our market reach.”

The event also served as a showcase for Malaysian hospitality, as well as a venue for advancing tourism objectives through strategic alliances.

Presenting the Golden Wau

Aside from the summit proper, another highlight of the event was the first run of the Golden Wau Awards. Here, top top-performing sales agents who demonstrated exceptional achievements in driving revenue.

These awards not only recognise excellence but also highlight the invaluable contributions of the trade partners to Malaysia Airlines’ growth. 

Through the Golden Wau Awards, Malaysia Airlines aims to set new industry standards and inspire excellence among all trade partners, thereby significantly contributing to its growth and enhancing Malaysia’s presence on the global tourism stage.
