Tours to Antarctica

Our Antarctic tour packages often include visits to the Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Islands, and Ross Sea.

Some Antarctic tour packages include flights, while others do not. Check the package details and chat with your travel expert to include flights in your booking.

Some of our tours offer family-friendly activities and accommodations, making it an incredible trip and learning experience for your tiny travellers. However, some tours may have age limits due to the extreme conditions. If in doubt, chat with your Flight Centre travel expert to help find the right tour for your family. 

Visa requirements depend on the departure country. Check specific visa requirements for entering the departure point country and chat with your Flight Centre travel expert for more details.  

Of course! Wildlife excursions can easily be added, and are often a major highlight of Antarctica tour packages. 

Yes, Antarctica is generally safe for tourists. If in doubt, we recommend you follow travel advisories, keep up to date with local guidelines and use common sense. (P.S. Don’t forget to grab some travel insurance, that way you’re covered in case something does go wrong).

The best time to visit Antarctica is during the summer months of November to March. Not only will you have more light and warmer temps, but you’re more likely to see wildlife frolicking in their natural habitat. 

Spoiler alert: it’s gonna be cold. With this in mind, pack plenty of warm, layered clothing and some waterproof, insulated footwear. Socks, beanies and gloves will go a long way, too! If in doubt, your tour provider should have a more detailed idea of what to pack for your trip. 

Antarctica tours range from a week to three weeks, giving you plenty of time to embrace the beauty of its vast landscapes, snap pics of epic wildlife and even enjoy a sneaky polar plunge. Got more time up your sleeve? Chat with our travel experts about extending your trip or even tacking on another tour.

Travel insurance is generally not included in the tour package itself. With that in mind, it’s a pretty important part of your holiday (especially in such remote locations), so chat with our travel experts about including it as part of your booking total.
