East Antarctica

Submitted by meghall@chimua… on Thu, 01/30/2025 - 01:12

East Antarctica cruises may take some effort, but these longer expeditions explore some of the least visited, wildest and most historically significant regions of the White Continent. Only a few East Antarctica and Ross Sea expedition cruises depart each year from Australia and New Zealand.

These intense journeys usually span 25-30 nights in the peak Austral summer months of January and February, with the season limited due to sea ice accessibility.

Did you know Antarctica is surrounded on all sides by Sub-Antarctic islands? Most of them are mere specks in the Southern Ocean – not even shown on most world maps. However, these unique, beautiful, and biodiverse islands are rarely visited by travelers and are ideal for anyone seeking a rugged and remote adventure!

Sub-Antarctic cruises usually visit several islands, which can include

MACQUARIE ISLAND

Macquarie Island is one of the most incredible, and least visited, regions of Australia.

Why visit? From cruising the remote waters of the Amazon in Brazil’s north to celebrating the world’s greatest carnival in bustling Rio or sipping caipirinhas at Copacabana beach, a holiday to Brazil offers diversity that is second to none. 
 
The most popular starting point for Australian travellers visiting Brazil is Rio de Janeiro, the country’s second largest city.

Due to its relative proximity to South America, cruises to the Antarctic Peninsula remain the most popular option for Antarctic travellers. An extension of the Andes Mountains range in South America, the Peninsula is the northernmost part of the continent and offers a dramatic mountainous backdrop full of stunning scenery and a plethora of wildlife. 

An Antarctic Peninsula cruise is perfect for Australian travellers who seek abundant wildlife, epic landscapes, and lots of glaciers and ice.
