An amazing trip, just enjoy! suzanne27 suzanne harvey Post Count: 12 Msg: #3 123 days ago, March 25th 2008 | from Australia or New Zealand-but it's simple to find a run under $4,000 leaving from Ushuaia, at the tip of Argentina (about a $350 round-trip flight from Buenos Aires). I guess you can find more cheaper way or cheaper deals. | PA Leslie Pierre-Alexandre Post Count: 123 Msg: #4 123 days ago, March 25th 2008 | Well, there are few trips also from Australia, but they are longer and A LOT more expensive. Be careful, all the cheapest trips are sold fast, so you often need to book months in advance. Have fun!

What about trip cancellation insurance, how much is it? Did you pay by bank in advance or with credit card? Thanks:) PA Leslie Pierre-Alexandre Post Count: 123 Msg: #6 121 days ago, March 26th 2008 | Hi, you need to have a travel insurance with a minimum of 100,000 usd cover if you want to go on any boat...and honestly, you are looking at at least 300,000usd...if things go wrong down there...they can be messy....that's was a topic of discussion on the cruise. | noah campino Vjekoslav Paun Post Count: 5 Msg: #7 121 days ago, March 27th 2008 | Thanks a lot for answers! | Have anybody any experience with "cruise norway". They offer to us Classic Antartica for 3950 USD!!! It great beacouse we get extra free air ticket from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia, and hotel accomodation in Buenos Aires for one day. Is it maybe suspiciously?:)) Thanks a lot Ruth from Wales Ruth John Post Count: 96 Msg: #8 119 days ago, March 29th 2008 | Hi Noah, | We went to Antarctica with Quark on the Lyubov Orlova last December. An amazing trip - see photos on my blog. Total cost was US$4,500 per person. I would be a bit suspicious of going with anything cheaper as I have heard bad stories of ships with no heating, bad food, etc. The Quark trip exceeded our expectations. Best wishes, Ruth PA Leslie Pierre-Alexandre Post Count: 123 Msg: #9 118 days ago, March 30th 2008 | Was on the same boat, amazing trip... | Number of Users: 4 | Number of Posts: 9 | ||||||||||||||||||
