Antarctic Cruise Early Booking Offers
Several Antarctic ships encourage early booking by offering a reduced price or additional value in the form of early bird Antarctica specials. These offers vary and are often changed and reduced as the ships fill up. Booking early ensures you get a great price, the cabin you prefer and allows you the time to take advantage of any flight specials.
Occasionally there are late booking offers as well, though booking late has its disadvantages. Often the flights will be more expensive – and depending on the offer, the ‘saving’ can be less than the additional amount paid for your flights. Our suggestion is to make use of the early booking offers and allow us to book your flights as soon as they become available to ensure you get the holiday you want.

Luxury
These luxurious ships combine more traditional-style ‘cruising’ with an Antarctic adventure. They offer large, very comfortable cabins with en-suite facilities and many have private balconies. The experienced expedition team enable you to explore the Antarctic Peninsula with Zodiac dinghies and come home to an exquisite ship with superior comfort and excellent cuisine options.
Expedition-Luxury
As the name suggests these ships are a hybrid of an Expedition Ship and a Luxury Ship. Focusing on maximising opportunities for exploring as on an expedition vessel but with the added comfort of having larger, more comfortable cabins and common areas. Generally cabins are larger or perhaps the ship is newer than an Expedition ship. The cuisine is of a very high standard.
Expedition
Expedition ships have a greater emphasis on maximising time off the vessel or out on deck. The expedition team works closely with the ship’s captain and crew to get you out exploring on the Zodiac dinghies and on shore as much as possible. Most voyages also offer kayaking and sometimes camping. Cabins are simple and comfortable, the food excellent. The ships are stable, fast and manoeuvrable.
For more information on the ships and travel options we offer, call 1300 784 794 or email contact@antarcticatravelcentre.com.au
