Antarctic cruises with hiking & snowshoeing

254 upcoming Antarctic departures offering hiking & snowshoeing, from $7,300 per person. Optional activities have limited places — book them with the cruise.

Guided hikes and snowshoe walks extend landings beyond the beach: up viewpoints over penguin colonies, across snowfields to glacier overlooks, occasionally a proper summit push. Fitness requirements stay moderate — if you can manage a hilly walk, you can join.

Snowshoeing is usually free or modestly priced and needs no experience; the gear is provided. It is the easiest way to earn a viewpoint the Zodiac crowd never sees.
