On average, many people spend $4,500 on a cruise to Antarctica. If you want to visit Antarctica, you will be spending around $4000 and above.

The cheapest way to go to Antarctica is to volunteer or take a job with one of the research stations or the cruise company.

These groups are most times in need of staff, such as chefs, cleaners, and other positions. Working with one of these groups will guarantee a visit to Antarctica at a very cheap cost.

Also, you can watch out for promotions and special discounts. Most of the travel companies post good deals of the tour on their website or Facebook page.

The cheapest means to visit Antarctica is through Ushuaia –a city at the far southern end of Argentina, which is tagged ‘the end of the world.’ Getting to Ushuaia can actually be possible through the airplane, which will cost between 200 to 300 euros, of which the season determines.

You can book your flight with the JustFly, which offers relatively the cheapest rate, or through CheapOair, which gives out a good deal for business class. A very cheap package you can experience is with a boat trip that travels early in the season, around the month of November, and it takes eight days.

But a good way to get the cheapest means of transport achieved is to avoid rushing. Take your time to find out what the cost of every transport means might be, and make bookings ahead. You can make traveling to Antarctica for as low as three thousand us dollars.

Visiting Antarctica can be a challenge but it is not impossible. You definitely need to catch a plane going to Argentina wherein you would need to go to the port of Ushuaia. Do not worry because you do not need to get advanced tickets before reaching the port. Some cruise tickets are already being sold there.

Most people would spend an average of $3500 for the cruise although it can go higher or lower than that. Some people even spend $4000 but most tourists already say that this is too high. The overall expenses that you have to pay will truly depend on so many factors. It would depend on from what country you are coming from and so much more.

The cheapest way to go to Antarctica is to take employment for the summer months at one of the research stations. The scientists nautrally need support staff, mainly catering and cleaning. If you are willing to undertake this work, I dare say your leisure time will offer some amazing opportunites to see the region and with the benefit of specialists who really know and understand it, and its dangers.

Otherwise, you can look on-line for last minute reductions on a cruise, but you need to have all your preparations for such a trip well in hand before you start your travel. Companies that specialise in adventurous travel, and those who specialise in long-haul destinations are the best sources of information for you.
