Antarctica
Expeditions to the last vast wilderness on earth
Antarctica is a destination close to our heart. We have been organising breathtaking small-ship expeditions to this polar realm for many years, offering a full concept of exploration, above and below the ocean.
Why visit Antarctica?
Antarctica remains the last vast wilderness on earth, a continent encircled by pack ice and huge tabular icebergs. The best way to encompass all this beauty? During an expedition cruise on board a small expedition ship.
Small Is Big in Antarctica
The size of your expedition ship has a huge impact on your experience in Antarctica. No more than 100 passengers are allowed ashore at any one time, and ships carrying more than 500 guests cannot make landings at all.
Some of the best moments in Antarctica happen far from the ship, like standing among penguin colonies or or quietly watching whales from the zodiac. Smaller expedition ships make these experiences easier and more enjoyable, with less waiting and more time ashore. They also create a more personal atmosphere on board, where strangers turn into lifelong friends. For us, small ships are simply the best way to experience Antarctica.
Antarctic Expedition Itineraries
We offer many different expeditions to Antarctica. Most voyages visit the Antarctic Peninsula, the Northernmost part of the continent, of which some cross the Antarctic Circle. More extensive expedition cruises also include the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, a wonderful addition to your Antarctic adventure. If you are looking for the ultimate Antarctic experience, an exclusive land-based expedition to the interior of the Antarctic continent might be the trip for you.
With so many different Antarctic Expeditions to choose from, our experts are happy to help you find the itinerary that best fits your needs and expectations.

Wildlife Antarctica
An expedition cruise to Antarctica offers the chance to encounter an incredible variety of wildlife. The rich waters of the Southern Ocean support one of the most productive marine ecosystems on Earth. During the Austral summer, microscopic phytoplankton blooms flourish, forming the foundation of the Antarctic food chain. These blooms attract vast swarms of krill, which in turn provide food for whales, penguins, seals, and seabird.
From November through March, Antarctica is alive with activity. Penguin colonies are bustling with courtship, nesting, and chicks, whales arrive to feed in the nutrient-rich waters, and seals can often be found resting on ice floes between hunting trips. Combined with long daylight hours and spectacular polar scenery, these seasonal events create some of the most remarkable wildlife experiences anywhere on the planet.

Animals you may encounter in Antarctica
- Penguins: Gentoo, Chinstrap, Adélie, King and occasionally Emperor Penguins
- Whales: Humpback Whales, Minke Whales, Fin Whales and Orcas
- Seals: Leopard Seals, Weddell Seals, Crabeater Seals, Antarctic Fur Seals and Southern Elephant Seals
- Seabirds: Wandering Albatrosses, Giant Petrels, Skuas, Terns and various species of Petrels
Every expedition is different, but wildlife encounters are often the highlight of any Antarctic voyage.
Activities Antarctica
Antarctica is about far more than what you see from the ship. For travellers seeking a deeper connection with this remarkable environment, many expeditions offer optional activities such as kayaking, camping, polar diving and polar snorkeling.
At Waterproof Expeditions, Polar Diving has been part of our DNA since the 1990s, and we were the pioneers of Polar Snorkeling in Antarctica with our partner Waterproof International Sweden. For us, there is no better way to experience Antarctica than from the water itself.
Drifting alongside icebergs in crystal-clear water provides a perspective that few travellers ever experience. It is a rare opportunity to explore Antarctica both above and below the surface, discovering a fascinating world of ice, wildlife and silence.

The most common way to reach Antarctica is on board an expedition cruise departing from South American ports, such as Ushuaia in Argentina or Punta Arenas in Chile. Some cruises also depart from New Zealand or Australia.
The sea crossing to Antarctica can take around two days or longer, depending on the departure point, ship, route, and weather conditions. Voyages usually visit the Antarctic Peninsula and nearby islands.
Another option is to book a ‘Fly & Cruise’ expedition. This travel option combines a flight to Antarctica with a cruise to explore the region. This approach is designed to reduce the time spent crossing the often challenging Drake Passage by sea, allowing visitors to fly directly to the Antarctic Peninsula and then join a cruise to explore the surrounding areas. This option provides a more time-efficient way to experience Antarctica, making it particularly appealing for those who may be concerned about the potential challenges and sea conditions of the Drake Passage.
The time it takes to reach Antarctica depends on several factors. Here are some general guidelines:
From South America (e.g., Punta Arenas, Chile):
- By Sea: The most common way to reach Antarctica from South America is by ship. Expedition cruises from South America to Antarctica typically take about 2 days, depending on the specific route and conditions.
- By Air: Another way to reach Antarctica from South America is by taking a flight from Punta Arenas, Chile, to King George Island on the peninsula. The flight itself takes about 3 to 4 hours.
From Australia or New Zealand:
- By Sea: Some expeditions depart from Australia or New Zealand and involve longer sea voyages to reach different parts of Antarctica. These can take several days or even longer.
- By Air: Flights from Australia or New Zealand to Antarctica are less common but can be arranged for specific research or logistical purposes. These flights may take around 5 to 6 hours.
Keep in mind that travel to Antarctica is subject to weather and ice conditions, and schedules may be adjusted accordingly.
Antarctica experiences its summer season from November to March. The Antarctic Peninsula, the part often visited during expedition cruises, is the mildest region of the continent. Summer temperatures typically range from about -2°C (28°F) to 8°C (46°F). These temperatures are relatively mild” compared to the interior of Antarctica.
It’s important to keep in mind that these temperature ranges are averages, and daily fluctuations can occur. Additionally, Antarctica is known for its strong and unpredictable winds, which can significantly affect the perceived temperature, leading to wind chill.
While summer temperatures are the most moderate along the Antarctic Peninsula, visitors should still be well-prepared for harsh conditions. Insulating base layers and windproof outerwear are essential for staying warm in the cold and windy environment, especially during zodiac cruises.
If you’re visiting Antarctica on an expedition cruise, you’re likely to encounter several of these penguin species, especially during the height of summer when they come ashore to breed and raise their chicks.
Adélie Penguin – One of the most widespread and abundant penguin species in Antarctica.
Gentoo Penguin – They breed on several sub-Antarctic islands and the Antarctic Peninsula.
Chinstrap Penguin – They nest in colonies on various Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands.
Macaroni Penguin – Their primary breeding range is sub-Antarctic islands, some colonies can be found on the Antarctic Peninsula.
King Penguin – Can be found in large numbers on sub-Antarctic islands such as South Georgia and the Falklands
Emperor Penguin – The largest penguin species, they can only be found on the sea ice and are not often spotted.

Several species of whales are known to visit the waters around Antarctica. During the austral summer, they migrate to the region to feed. Whale-watching is a popular activity during expeditions to Antarctica, and it provides an opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Keep in mind that encounters can vary depending on the location and dates of your travel.
- Humpback Whale
- Minke Whale
- Southern Right Whale
- Blue Whale
- Fin Whale
- Killer Whale
- Sei Whale
- Sperm Whale
The best time to visit Antarctica largely depends on your interests and what you want to experience while there. Read our blog to find out what might be the best time for you to visit Antarctica.
Yes. Antarctica is one of the world’s most carefully protected environments, and all visitors are expected to follow strict guidelines designed to minimise environmental impact and protect wildlife. As a member of IAATO (the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators), Waterproof Expeditions supports these standards and helps guests understand how to travel responsibly in the polar regions.
Before your expedition, we will provide you with the IAATO visitor guidelines and other pre-departure information. For easy access to these resources while travelling, you can also download the IAATO Antarctic Expedition App for Android or iPhone. The app contains essential visitor information and documents that can be accessed offline, even without an internet connection.
In February 2024, the first cases of avian influenza were confirmed in Antarctica. IAATO members are enforcing strict procedures to prevent the spread of pathogens and non-native species, with increased vigilance this season. Existing protocols, including daily biosecurity procedures and maintaining minimum distances from wildlife, are an essential part of protecting Antarctica.
Additional requirements have been put in place to help prevent avian influenza from being introduced and spread. Before you leave home, ensure anything that may come into contact with the Antarctic environment is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. When in Antarctica, it is required that you:
● Do not sit
● Do not kneel
● Do not lie down
● Do not place any equipment on the ground or snow
● Always keep a minimum distance of 5m / 15 ft from wildlife
