Antarctica Solo Travel

What can you do on a solo travel adventure to Antarctica?

Whether you’re on a solo voyage, or have made some friends along the way, an expedition cruise to the South Pole is an adventure like no other. Sail through ice-filled fjords and around the South Shetland Islands before venturing to the Antarctic Peninsula. For solo travellers wanting to submerge themselves in the beauty of this great southern region, pack a camera to snap some seriously epic travel shots, all the while taking in the vast silence that surrounds you, with only the boat to be heard for miles.

The independently intrepid will love hopping on a dinghy and making landfall, accompanied by expert guides, to witness the thousands of chinstrap penguins that live at Baily Head, or enjoy some solo R&R in a hot spring (who knew), at Mount Erebus, one of two active volcanoes on the continent. Back aboard the expedition boat grab one of the best seats in the house at the bow of the vessel, where you can keep your eyes peeled, binoculars in hand, for orcas, humpbacks and minke whales. Travelling alone racks up a whole host of stories that you’ll be desperate to share with friends and family, so why not round off an Antarctica solo travel adventure with a trip to the Port Locker Museum where you can sent a postcard home?
