Antarctic cruises with photography

209 upcoming Antarctic departures offering photography, from $7,200 per person. Optional activities have limited places — book them with the cruise.

Dedicated photo programmes put a professional polar photographer at your side — daily briefings, on-landing coaching and image reviews on sea days. Zodiacs are often organised so photographers get the light and angles they need.

Bring double batteries (cold drains them), a long lens for wildlife and a dry bag for Zodiac spray; the programme handles the rest. Usually free or low-cost.
