SUMMARY:ANTARCTICA EXPEDITION 2024 && 2025
DESCRIPTION:ANTARCTICA\n \nDiscover the Antarctic Peninsula\, where endless white mountains roll to the horizon and massive glaciers churn icebergs into the sea. Here\, nature reigns: penguins teeter along the shore\, seals loll on ice slabs\, and humpbacks and orca whales break the water’s surface. Travelling with a team of experts aboard the state-of-the-art cruise encounter this otherworldly place close-up\, gliding around enormous tabular icebergs by Zodiac or kayak\, and walking along beaches peppered with penguins and seals. \nJust Pay 50k and Book a slot and the rest you can pay in Instalments.\nBefore We go forward\, let’s understand what kind of cruise goes to Antarctica: \n1. Why Antarctica? \nI mean why not\, in the lower part of the world\, the South pole\, a place which plays a major in the world’s weather and the topmost for most of the traveller’s bucket list? \n2. From which country to start the journey? \nArgentina is the closest port to Antarctica so major cruises start from Ushuaia. Else Chile also provides cruises but those are costly so try for Argentina only. \n3. What type of Antarctica trips are there and what is the difference? \nLuxury Cruise Line : \nANTARCTICA has two types of cruises\, one is luxury cruise lines\, where you travel with >1000 people and live like in a luxury hotel but\nNo landing on Antarctica\nNo zodiacs\nDays range from 10-14 \ncost: 5000-6000$ \nthese cruises are cheap and take you to Antarctica and you see it but cannot touch it . \nExpedition Cruises: \nThese cruise lines are small ships and Carry 100-200 max on one journey. These are not too much luxury or if they are they charge you a bomb. \nUnlike Luxury cruises these cruises allow you to \nLand on Antarctica\nCamping for one night\nKayaking in Antarctica\nWhale watching (close calls)\nHike on Antarctica till the Penguin colony \nCost: 10000-13000$ \nso here you can see the major difference between these cruises\, the major is costing part and most of the travellers focus on cost only. \n  \nDaywise Itinerary \nDAY 1 | ARRIVE IN USHUAIA\, ARGENTINA\n\n \nYou will begin your journey in Ushuaia\, a small but bustling port town at the tip of South America. This Argentine town\nis an ideal gateway for you to explore the southern extent of Patagonia while preparing for your adventure ahead. Get active in the mountains or enjoy handcrafted chocolate at a café in town.\n  \n  \n  \n\n\nDAY 2 | EMBARK\n\n\n\nDAYS 3 & 4 | CROSSING THE DRAKE PASSAGE\n\n \nWhat makes the Drake Passage so infamously rough is the fact that currents at this latitude meet no resistance from any landmass\, anywhere on the planet. Coupled with the area’s propensity for high wind\, a crossing of the Drake Passage can be quite the adventurous exploit.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDAYS 5–8 | SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS & ANTARCTIC PENINSULA\n\n \n\n\nMany parts of the peninsula were named by different countries\, usually based on the names of the various explorers involved and this gave rise to some disagreements. It was not until 1966 that the name Antarctic Peninsula was finally internationally agreed but the northern part is still known as Graham Land and the more southerly section as Palmer Land. During the Second World War Britain set up bases here later followed by research stations.\n\n\n\n\n\nDAYS 9 & 10 | CROSSING THE DRAKE PASSAGE\n\n\nDAY 11 | DISEMBARK IN USHUAIA\n\nYou will arrive in Ushuaia in the morning\, which allows you to continue your adventure onward or catch your flights home\n\nFor Package Whatsapp/Call on 9029099709 \n10999$ per person in double sharing \nBatch: December -1 to December -11 \n  \nIncluded\n# Leadership throughout the voyage\n# All zodiac transfers as per the daily program\n# All shore landings as per the daily program\n# Shipboard accommodation with daily Housekeeping \n# All meals\, snacks\, soft drinks and juices soon board throughout your Voyage\n# A paid-off waterproof expedition boot on loan For landings and Zodiac cruising excursions \n# Transfers in Ushuaia from the airport to the Pre-expedition hotel on Day-1\n# One night’s pre-expedition hotel accommodation in Ushuaia with breakfast.\n# Transfer from hotel to ship on embarkation day\n \n \nIncluded Activities\n \n# Zodiac Cruising\n# Hiking\n# Presentations\n# Polar Plunge\n# Photography\n \nAdventure Options\n# Sea kayaking\n# Paddling Excursion \n# Stand-up PaddleBoarding\n# Camping in Antarctica\n \nExclusions\n \n# International airfare \n# Visa\n# Government taxes \n# Travel insurance\n# Laundry\, bar\, Spa services and other personal charges\, unless specified\n# Adventure options\n  \n  \nThanks \nTeam TBT \nwww.travelbuddiestalk.com \nEmail: info@travelbuddiestalk.com
