Antarctic departures in January 2029
46 Antarctic expeditions departing in January 2029, from $14,219 per person. Compare ships, cabins and operators for the month.
January is high summer and the classic month: penguin chicks everywhere — chasing parents, forming crèches, dodging skuas — plus the season's mildest weather (up to +8 °C) and long, bright days. Humpback numbers build steadily in the feeding grounds.
It is the busiest and most expensive month; almost every ship in the fleet is south. Families note: school-holiday departures fill first.
