Did you know that over 30,000 people visit Antarctica yearly?! Bet you didn’t! Antarctica is gaining popularity on travel bucket lists with each passing year. Travelling here is no longer just a dream.
Is it popular?
Although most blogs such as The Luxury Travel Channel mention a list of other luxury holiday destinations, Antarctica is gaining popularity with explorers. Hop on a cruise ship which will transport you here.
Best time to visit
Summer is the ideal time to visit Antarctica and that’s between the months from November to March, where the prices are cheaper and the weather is comparatively bearable. Antarctica will probably not make it to the list of your typical luxury holiday destinations, however it is definitely a must visit at some point.
Whales
Common whale sightings are from February to March. With this exciting luxury activity, holidays to Antarctica are usually popular for wildlife experts and photography lovers.
Penguins
November is probably the most exciting as penguins come ashore to start their mating rituals and nest building. This is great for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers looking for that perfect shot! By mid December, the chicks emerge and January turns in to a huge feeding frenzy.
Where to go?
The Falkland Islands, Antarctic Peninsula and South Georgia are some of the most common places to visit. A long cruise to all 3 locations will give you plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife and icebergs while observing complete serenity.
