How much will it cost to travel to the Antarctica?

Answer 1

Antarctica is not a tourist destination in the traditional sense. It has no tourist facilities, hotels or airports. A few airlines fly over Antarctica to show you the sights, then fly back to where they came from without landing. At least one company runs mountain climbing expeditions, but they make it clear that you need to be experienced and capable and fit enough to endure the rigours or polar mountaineering. Unless you are engaged in some sort of research with a large government grant, you really have no business being there.

Answer 2

It will cost quite a bit of money, but if you're serious about it then check out some cruiseline websites.

Without endorsement, you can tour from the tip of the Argentine with National Geographic tours, and spend between about US$12,000 and about US$24,000 for the Antarctic tour. Your round-trip expenses from your home base are extra.

There is no commercial service to Antarctica by plane, but you can take a tour boat.

Depending on your point of origin and the boat route you choose, you can spend several 10s of thousands or many multiple tens of thousands of your currency to visit Antarctica.
