An honest travel vlog on an Antarctic cruise - cost, wildlife, activities.
My adventures on Instagram 📸 Instagram: outsideeric
An honest and real breakdown of what it's actually like - from how you get there to how much it costs, to what you actually do when you're there!
I went with Quark Expeditions (not sponsored) on the World Explorer ship and seriously had the time of my life. We saw so much wildlife but I think it's actually the views and landscapes that blew me away the most.

Did you see the Sun set at all?
Did it ever get actually dark?
Thanks
How are gratuities handled and how much were they?
If you're bringing a GoPro, bring a longer stick. Some times you'll have penguins, seals, or whales swim really close to the zodiac. With a longer stick, you can dunk them into the water and capture some really cool footage.
