When is the best time to visit Antarctica?
The best time to cruise to Antarctica is during the Southern Hemisphere’s summer, which spans from November to March.
Starting in November, ships can navigate more easily as ice breaks, and wildlife like nesting penguins becomes a prime attraction. December brings the warmest days and the birth of many baby penguins and seals. Wildlife activity peaks in January and February, with increased whale sightings. By March, temperatures begin to drop, but whale watching remains a highlight.
It’s always a good idea to consult with one of our cruise agents who will give you the best advice!
