Is Antarctica LGBTQ+ friendly?
There are no LGBTQ+ laws to speak of in Antarctica. Nobody lives there permanently, and the experience is shaped almost entirely by your expedition ship, which makes the choice of vessel the thing that matters.
Most voyages sail from Ushuaia in Argentina, and some fly in from Punta Arenas in Chile. Both countries have marriage equality, and Buenos Aires, where many trips begin, has one of South America’s best gay scenes.
On board, you share dining, landings and lectures with a small international group for anything from ten days to three weeks. We book the expedition lines and cabin types where same-sex couples are routinely welcomed, and can suggest the sailings that suit you best.

The Best Gay Winter Sun Destinations in Europe
As much of the world plunges into the cold in winter, some places stay invitingly warm. Outside of the summer season, however, many popular vacation spots all but close down. You can enjoy winter sun in Mykonos or Santorini, but most businesses will be closed. You'll certainly get better rates but you miss the buzz traveling out of season.

Frequently asked questions
About Antarctica
When is the best time to visit Antarctica?
Antarctica can only be visited from November to March, the austral summer, when the sea ice retreats enough for expedition ships to reach the Antarctic Peninsula. November brings pristine snow and courting penguins, December and January the longest days, the mildest temperatures (around 28°F to 41°F on the Peninsula) and newly hatched chicks, and February and March the best whale watching.
Can my trip to Antarctica be tailor-made?
Yes. Everything we plan is tailor-made. Our suggested Antarctica itineraries are starting points: your specialist shapes the route, the hotels, the pace and the length around your dates and preferences.
Do you run group trips to Antarctica?
Yes. Our next small-group departure is Gay Group Trip: Journey to Antarctica, leaving on February 4, 2027. Tailor-made trips run year-round.
