Antarctica is the last discovered continent where wildlife and nature exist without excessive pressures of man.
Antarctica Cruise season:
October to March in the southern summer months when the days are longer - there are up to to 20 hours of daylight in high summer. The contrasts in temperature are striking as summer in the Falklands and Ushuaia can sometimes be quite warm, while summertime in Antarctica hovers at the freezing mark.
Departure Ports:
Larger cruise ships tend to depart either Valparaiso or Buenos Aires and include an Antarctic experience within their ‘round the horn’ cruise. Specialty ships generally depart from Ushuaia, the most southerly city in the world located on Tierra del Fuego. These cruises often combine visits to Port Stanley in the Falklands with visits to uninhabited islands to enjoy the remarkable sea and bird life.
