Essential Extras - Crossing the Circle: Southern Expedition
Adventure Options

Camping in Antarctica$225
Price per person in US dollars from
No camping experience is necessary, because camping in the polar regions is unlike any camping done in other parts of the world. The equipment supplied is designed for low temperature adventures.
Depending on the choice of itinerary and dates of travel, campers may experience only a few hours of twilight. At other times, campers may feel as if they can touch the stars. No two polar camping adventures are alike. We only use high quality REI camping equipment on the Ocean Diamond.
The per person price from camping in Antarctica is $225 per person.
