Don&#8217;t miss these unique places and activities.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting Antarctica is an adventure like no other, and what&#8217;s so special is that no two trips will ever be the same. Unlike other cruises with guaranteed stops, you will be on a discovery cruise that builds your itinerary day by day. Because of the unpredictable Antarctica weather, the captain and discovery team constantly monitored where we could go next.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though you have no control over your day-to-day itinerary, the ship you travel on can determine your options. Here&#8217;s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1620\" src=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/things-to-do-in-antarctica.jpg\" alt=\"things to do in antarctica\" class=\"wp-image-95464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/things-to-do-in-antarctica.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/things-to-do-in-antarctica-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/things-to-do-in-antarctica-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/things-to-do-in-antarctica-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/things-to-do-in-antarctica-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/things-to-do-in-antarctica-610x915.jpg 610w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/things-to-do-in-antarctica-390x585.jpg 390w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/things-to-do-in-antarctica-260x390.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"padding: 15px;font-size:12px;background-color:#f2f4f7;text-align:center;\"><em>This post may contain affiliate links, where we receive a small commission on sales of the products that are linked at no additional cost to you.

That means there is <strong>no set itinerary<\/strong>, and the crew decides where the ship will go daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, <a href=\"https:\/\/iaato.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">IAATO<\/a> (International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators) rules only allow smaller expedition ships to land to help protect the wildlife and land. <strong>Larger cruise ships can only sail by<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, being on a <strong>Class 1A ice-rated<\/strong> and <strong>Polar Class 6-rated ship<\/strong> like Scenic Eclipse II allows you to pass the Antarctic Circle and go further south than most ships. These Scenic Eclipse luxury yachts were the first of their kind and were specifically built to navigate Antarctic waters and pass the Drake Passage safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, the <strong>longer your cruise<\/strong> is, the <strong>more opportunities <\/strong>you&#8217;ll have to see wildlife, visit destinations, and do more activities. You may have poor microclimates everywhere some days, and you want to maximize your chances since getting to Antarctica is already a long journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We may have had a unicorn trip with mostly great weather. It was nice to see the captain and staff get excited. One person we met who had been working his 100th trip to Antarctica said it was his first time being able to visit number 13!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee; border-left: 6px solid #FFB53A;\"><strong>See More: <a href=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/visiting-antarctica-travel-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">17 Things You Need to Know Before Visiting Antarctica<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/scenic-eclipse-antarctica.jpg\" alt=\"scenic eclipse antarctica\" class=\"wp-image-94948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/scenic-eclipse-antarctica.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/scenic-eclipse-antarctica-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/scenic-eclipse-antarctica-728x485.jpg 728w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/scenic-eclipse-antarctica-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/scenic-eclipse-antarctica-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/scenic-eclipse-antarctica-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/scenic-eclipse-antarctica-878x585.jpg 878w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/scenic-eclipse-antarctica-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best\"><u>Best Places to Visit in Antarctica<\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are the places we visited on our trip so you can follow along in the order of our travel itinerary.

Kayaking and SUP have limited spots that they fill by invitation only. They do their best to make sure every guest who wants to has the opportunity to do it at least once.
