Penguin in Antarctica

The best time to visit Antarctica

Nov 05, 2024

For spectacular scenery, amazing wildlife, extraordinary history and a glimpse of just how special our planet is, an Antarctica Expedition cruise should be right at the top of your list. Getting there is time consuming but it is worth every moment, every penny, and so much more. For a few months each year, during the southern hemisphere's summer months, this fascinating wilderness becomes accessible to polar expedition ships. The days grow lighter and longer, the temperature rises, the sea ice retreats and Antarctica comes alive with an astonishing abundance of wildlife. We're often asked about the best time to cross the Drake Passage, the notoriously bumpy stretch of water that lies between South America and the Antarctic Peninsula, but in truth you can experience bad weather and rough seas at any time of year. You're better off basing your decision on the wildlife you want to see, the area of Antarctica you want to visit and how much money you want to spend. To help you in this task, here is our month-by-month guide to visiting Antarctica by expedition cruise.
