TRIP RATES

Trip cost corresponds to cabin category once aboard ship in Antarctica. You can see details on the different cabin types here.


Cabin category: Per person rate:

TRIPLE $13,495 p/p

The above rates are double occupancy—except for the Triple which is triple occupancy, and the Single Veranda, which is for one person.


Additional Notes:

  • If you would be interested in a roommate to share a cabin, we’ll first look to match interested parties within our group; otherwise Antarctica21 will find a matching companion of the same gender.

  • No supplement is applied for single use of a dedicated Single Veranda Cabin. A limited number of Porthole or Veranda Cabins may also be available onboard for single use, at an 85% supplement in addition to the above rates.

  • Travelers booking a Twin Cabin on a shared basis have the option to book single rooms at the hotel in Punta Arenas before/after Antarctica for a supplement of $550. Please inquire at time of reservation.

    • If you book only one berth in a cabin (to share with someone we or Antarctica21 assigns), this hotel single supplement will automatically be applied.

    • Single travelers who use CPAP machines or other assistive devices, as well as those who have conditions that can be disrupting to others (loud snoring, sleepwalking etc.) can only book in a Single Veranda Cabin or in a Twin Cabin for single use. They cannot book on a twin-share basis.
