10 Things the Brochures Leave Out About Antarctic Expeditions

The IAATO rules and on-the-ground realities that actually shape your trip — free, from guides who've run the landings.

We're Expedition Advisory — former expedition guides with 15+ years in the field and 50+ Antarctic voyages between us. This is the briefing we'd hand a friend before they booked: no sales targets, no commission steering, just what the brochure leaves out.

A few of the 10 inside
1

The 100-guest shore rule means your actual landing time can be half what you pictured — here's how ship size changes that math.

2

Any ship carrying more than 500 passengers cannot make landings in Antarctica under IAATO rules — you can book an "Antarctica cruise" and never set foot on the continent.

7

Traveling solo? Single supplements are standard, and your fare can jump 50–100% over the "from" price in the brochure.
