When should you visit Antarctica?
It depends on what you want to do. Below is a guide to some of the best times for different activities and our suggested itineraries for each month.

October
Spring time. This is the start of the cruising season for Antarctica. The days are getting longer and sunsets are picturesque. There are few ships. Sea ice is extensive with large icebergs. Our ships are built with strengthened hulls to allow for travel through this beautiful setting. This is your best chance to see breeding elephant seals and chinstrap penguins come ashore to court, mate, and nest.
