Creator's Key Takeaways

It is freezing cold, but this is been worth every single penny. This is the trip of a lifetime.

It is really cold, but my goodness, it's worth every single bit of this weather.

The grandness, the vastness of this area dwarfs them by comparison, instead leaving us to marvel at the tops of the mountains.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Come prepared with gloves, jackets, sweatshirts, hats, and multiple layers.
If you didn't bring proper clothes, check the ship's store for gear.
Use sunscreen when on the starboard side and extra layers when on the port side to manage sun and shade.

YouTube Video Description

Ever wonder what you can actually see on an Antarctica cruise? Join us in today's vlog aboard the Celebrity Equinox for a perfect day sailing through the Gerlache Strait, Schollaert Channel, and ending in the BEAUTIFUL Paradise Bay. Cruising to Antarctica is a bucket-list trip, and the reality of sailing through the icebergs is even better than you might expect. Celebrity Cruises makes Antarctica accessible for so many people, but that also means you CANNOT GET OFF OF THE SHIP in Antarctica. If you're wondering what you can actually see from the ship, join us as we spot wildlife, get incredibly close-up to icebergs , and watch pods of whales breach in the calm waters. Between the quiet moments of stunning b-roll and the peaceful silence of the bay, we also share exactly what the Celebrity Equinox experience is like when navigating such a remote destination. If you are heading on an Antarctica cruise, save this video to prepare for the beauty that is the White Continent and stunning Paradise Bay (known as Paradise Harbour)! 💬 How many whales do you think we saw in one day!?
