If you're considering traveling to Antarctica from Australia or New Zealand, you have several options. You can cruise directly to East Antarctica from the Southern Hemisphere, but most guests will first fly to South America and then board their Antarctic cruise. 

South Georgia and the Falkland Islands are completely remote and magical destinations, rich in diverse wildlife and history. Many longer Antarctic cruises will visit the Antarctic Peninsula along with South Georgia and the Falklands. However, some cruises visit without including Antarctica, ideal for travellers who have already been to the Peninsula and are seeking something new.

Travellers seeking a remote, rugged, and wildlife-rich destination may love the idea of a South Georgia and Falkland Islands cruise. 

Antarctic Circle cruises give you the opportunity to cross the most southerly point reached by Antarctic cruises, joining a select group of travellers and adventures who have journeyed and explored this far south. Follow in the wake of Captain James Cook, one of the first explorers to cross the Antarctic Polar Circle, as you set sail on an Antarctic Circle cruise bound for a latitude of 66° 33’ south.

Travellers seeking a longer and more immersive journey may love the adventure and variety offered on a cruise to the Antarctic Circle.
