Antarctic cruises with camping

202 upcoming Antarctic departures offering camping, from $8,840 per person. Optional activities have limited places — book them with the cruise.

One night on the ice is Antarctica's most atmospheric add-on: after dinner a small group is shuttled ashore with bivvy bags or tents, sleeps (or tries to) through the polar twilight, and returns before breakfast. No buildings, no ship hum — just cracking glaciers and the occasional penguin inspection.

Numbers are capped (often 30 per departure), it typically costs US$200–400, and it books out fast. Weather can cancel the night — fees are then refunded.
