Antarctica

Cruises to Antarctica offer the ultimate adventure of a lifetime!

This is a journey to a completely different world that is unlike anything on our planet. The majestic nature combined with extreme weather will remain in your memory forever. Travelers come to Antarctica to admire glaciers, swim through ice-covered channels, gaze up at huge mountains, and interact with wildlife on land, sky, water, and under the sea. Scientists have a hypothesis that the Antarctic region may have existed during the time of Aristotle, but people did not discover it until the 19th century. Even today, almost no permanent residents call this remote continent home, and most of it, which is double the size of Australia, remains a haven for science. And, of course, it is also home to whales, seals, birds, and penguins!

Next, you'll pass through the Drake Strait, which is named after British pirate Sir Francis Drake. This is the shortest route to Antarctica, known for its rough waters. However, don't be afraid to enjoy the sights of flying Albatrosses, magnificent icebergs, and giant whales as you cross the Strait. Along the way, you'll also find amazing places like South Georgia, the Falkland Islands, Antarctic Peninsula, and Holy Trinity Island, home to adorable nesting Penguins!

It should be remembered that there are polar ice caps, boiling seas, and very cold temperatures around. Therefore, Antarctic cruises take place from November to March. In November, the ice melts and fresh icebergs form. The snow is also crystal clear. From December to January, there is lots of sunlight and a wide variety of local wildlife. This is also when the largest number of tourists visit. In February and March, some animals and birds may leave popular landing spots. However, the number of tourists also decreases at this time. Although the peak of whale sightings falls at this time, the warm weather also contributes to ships moving further south. Therefore, it's important to choose your route, time of year, and destination carefully. KadoTravel would be happy to assist you with all your travel planning needs.
