Insider tips for Antarctica from Visakhapatnam
- Expedition cruise departs from Ushuaia, Argentina — the world's southernmost city
- Book 12–18 months ahead — Antarctica expedition slots sell out, especially Nov (first penguins)
- Visakhapatnam travellers fly to Hyderabad (HYD) first, then catch the international connection — total journey ~30h
⚠️ Avoid: March–October (no expedition cruises operate — Antarctic winter)
