Creator's Key Takeaways

We took the cheapest cruise to Antarctica we could find.

The price difference between these two types of Antarctica cruises is vast.

The ability of a ship to handle rough seas and extremes of weather should definitely be something you consider.

Expedition cruises typically costing three to four times the price of a sailby cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider the ship's ability to handle rough seas and weather when deciding between expedition and sailby cruises.
βœ“Factor in the price differential and what experiences are most important to you.
