$7899—Save $2286 on Cape Horn & Antarctica fly-cruise-stay

Antarctica rarely comes without a steep price tag. This 16-night journey keeps the experience premium yet within reach, with scenic cruising through Antarctic waters (no landings required). You sail aboard Celebrity Equinox, where polar drama meets genuine comfort. It’s bucket list without the financial vertigo. You round Cape Horn, where powerful oceans converge beneath stark southern cliffs. That detail matters. Cape Horn carries maritime mythology and hard-earned bragging rights. Two full days in Antarctic waters reveal immense scale, silence and raw natural beauty. Icebergs drift through Gerlache Strait and Schollart Channel, reshaping the horizon. Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city, and ports including the Falklands, Puerto Madryn and Montevideo add contrast to the white vastness. It feels epic yet measured. Return flights from Australia and two nights in Buenos Aires are included before the 14-night cruise. You arrive early with time to adjust and explore. Wander La Boca’s colour and Recoleta’s elegance. Order steak and Malbec before sailing south. Panoramic decks frame every moment once onboard. This isn’t a rushed fly-and-board. It feels considered, not chaotic. If Antarctica is on your list, this is the moment to circle it in ink.

The cruise alone starts from $7635. Add return flights from Australia and two pre-cruise hotel nights in Buenos Aires and the total cost climbs well past $10,000. This package is $7899 per person. We found savings of up to $2286 compared to booking it all yourself. That almost covers your airfare. Antarctica doesn’t often come at this level of value.

Itinerary highlights

Begin with a two-night stay in Buenos Aires, Argentina’s vibrant capital where grand boulevards, tango rhythms and historic cafés blend European flair with Latin spirit.

Fly to Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city, framed by snow-tipped peaks and the Beagle Channel, and the gateway to your Antarctic expedition aboard Celebrity Equinox.

Cruise past Cape Horn (scenic), where the wild seas and rugged cliffs of this legendary point create unforgettable maritime drama beneath vast southern skies.

Sail through the spectacular waterways of the Schollart Channel, Paradise Bay and the Gerlache Strait, surrounded by towering icebergs, glacial cliffs and swirling seabird life.

Approach Elephant Island (Antarctica), a remote icy landmark steeped in exploration history, with opportunities to spot penguins, seals and whales amid pristine polar waters.

Call at Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands, where colourful houses and abundant birdlife contrast with poignant wartime history.

Visit Puerto Madryn, gateway to the wildlife-rich Peninsula Valdés — home to whales, sea lions and Magellanic penguins against stunning coastal backdrops.

Explore Montevideo, Uruguay’s breezy capital, with its historic plazas, Ramblas waterfront and laid-back cultural charm.
