My Solo Cruise To Antarctica With Intrepid Travel!

From doing the polar plunge to seeing whales and penguins come up right next to the boat, this Antarctica cruise was truly the trip of a lifetime. Huge thanks to @intrepidtravel for working with me on this one! #sponsored


ANTARCTICA WITH INTREPID TRAVEL

I took the Best of Antarctica: A White Christmas cruise with Intrepid Travel and you can get a sense of what the tour was like, about the boat, and more in the video above. Intrepid offers a variety of Antarctica expeditions, you can check out all of them here: https://www.intrepidtravel.com/en/ant...

And if you’re wondering about going to Antarctica solo with Intrepid, I say do it! I’ve traveled with Intrepid multiple times and the group trip format makes it so I can have solo time when I need to and also build friendships among the group. These trips really are great for solo travel that at the same time is not solo. From this Antarctica adventure I already made friends I’ll be visiting in a few weeks in the DC area!


PACKING LIST

If you’re wondering what to pack for an Antarctic expedition cruise, this is the packing list I followed and I had everything I needed: https://www.intrepidtravel.com/advent...

PRO TIPS

Be sure to arrive at LEAST 24 hours before your cruise departs, though I’d say two days is safer so that you can ensure you don’t miss your departure.

Bring a Kindle or download audiobooks or your fave streaming episodes as wifi is limited and expensive to purchase while on the boat. You can also bring cards or games to pass the time.
