    It was a challenging adventure!! We weren’t quite prepared for Drake Passage, but staff let us remain in cabin and delivered our food until the boat stopped rocking. Antarctica is a breathtaking experience we would recommend it to everyone . The penguins are super cool and elephant seals were hilarious. Martín, Fabian , ship doctor José took beautiful care of us. Truly professional staff, all very competent and supportive. Highly recommended.

    Asked on August 7th, 2025

    what is the name of excursion for this itinerary? Also, are there more pictures of the cruise ship? Lastly, if I reserve it for 48 hours & I don't make the $400 by then? Does it open up to the next person?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten August 2025

      The name of this tour is Classic Antarctica. I am not sure what you mean by excursion, if you could clarify? We have very limited availability for the remainder of the year. To hold space we require your name as per passport, date of birth, and passport nationality. If you choose not to book this space will be released for anyone to book. This tour requires a 30% deposit to secure space and full payment is due 90 days prior to departure.

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      I submitted the 48 hours hold but it doesnt allow me to enter my nationality. I'm an American. Will I get more details once I decide to move forward? What's the difference between making $400 deposit vs 30% of the payment to reserve it?

    • C

      Chris

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      Would it be possible to pay $10,205 (single person) for the November 22, 2025 itinerary price? I have a wedding to attend on November 9.
