The most affordable Antarctic expedition cruises
Antarctica is not exactly the world's cheapest destination, however there are some surprisingly affordable alternatives. Consider also that polar expedition cruises do include all meals and excursions, with little else to spend - and they do represent the holiday of a lifetime! Even the most simple expedition ships are still extremely comfortable.
Following are expedition cruises in the budget category, with sharing options often possible in the cheapest Quad or Triple cabin categories (subject to cabin availability). Occasionally, we do also have last-minute specials that bring an otherwise more luxurious cruise ships to a more budget price level. To reach Antarctica on a budget, look out for Antarctic Peninsula cruises sailing in the shoulder-season period of November or March. It may not be peak-season, but this is still a wonderful time to travel to Antarctica! In November the landscape is very pretty and snow-covered and in March you can enjoy extra special encounters with whales.
