ANTARCTICA EXPEDITION: NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Days 1-6 

Everything was a wow!

Go for it!

I'm so glad it was helpful. There were at least five solo travelers on our trip, so hopefully you will find some camaraderie as well. Have a fabulous trip!

Glad you enjoyed it! It was certainly an inspirational voyage.

I absolutely did. It's going to be a tough trip to top!

Thank you!

Thanks again!

Oh, thanks for your clarification about Puerto Williams. Good to know. And thanks for the compliment!

There were some days that were warmer than others. I found that if I participated in the more active excursions, it was definitely better. The times I got the coldest were when I was just sitting in the zodiac. All my layers generally worked well for the first hour. If the zodiac excursion lasted more than that, I started to get cold. But honestly, the landscape and wildlife were so captivating, you didn't think too much about any discomfort. Truly a thrilling adventure!

@@seniorsolotravelHow wonderful! relly astonishing views!

I truly was a magnificent experience...glad you enjoyed!

It is definitely an expensive destination. My only advise would be to follow some expeditions that you would like to pursue and then see if they have any last minute deals. Sometimes they will drop their price in order to fill rooms. I know there was one solo traveler that paid quite a bit less then the rest of us, because he got a last minute deal. Of course, you have to have a flexible schedule for that to work. He worked with a cruise broker that kept an eye on it for him. There is also the choice to go on one of the very large ships that probably offer some deals to fill their capacity. This wouldn't be a first choice, but you would at least be able to enjoy the beauty, which is spectacular. Good luck and happy travels.
