Can I go to Antarctica by myself?


Can I go to Antarctica by myself? Unlike most traditional cruise lines, expedition cruises to Antarctica rarely charge any supplement fee for solo travellers. In fact, almost all expedition cruises offer solo travellers the chance to share with other solo travellers of the same sex in triple and quad cabins.


Can you get in trouble for going to Antarctica?

It is not illegal to go to Antarctica and thousands of people do each year.


What is the cheapest way to go to Antarctica?

The cheapest way to visit Antarctica is by cruising on a larger ship that sails by the continent but doesn't let passengers go ashore. Instead, you will sail to the Antarctic Peninsula and into some of the surrounding bays where you will see wildlife, mountains, icebergs, and more. It is truly a magical experience.


Do they have hotels in Antarctica?

Visitors to Antarctica don't stay in hotels; instead, they stay in a wide range of unique structures built to resist the icy weather, such as luxury adventure ships, temporary ice camps, eco-friendly resorts, and scientific research stations, and field camps.


Do we need permission to go to Antarctica?

The Antarctic Treaty preserves the Antarctic continent for peaceful and scientific use, while the Treaty's Protocol on Environmental Protection ensures that all human activity in Antarctica is carefully managed. Travelling to any part of Antarctica on an expedition without permission is illegal.
