About This Guide

Independent, informational guidance on Antarctica cruise age policies, minimum age requirements and health screening standards.

This site publishes independent, informational guidance on Antarctica cruise age policies, minimum age requirements and health screening standards, drawn from publicly available IAATO guidance and operator-published booking terms.

Content is reviewed for accuracy against publicly available sources at the time of writing, but age limits, fitness requirements and pricing change by operator and season - always confirm current terms directly with the operator before booking.

Reference sources include IAATO's public guidance documents and terms and conditions published by individual Antarctic expedition operators. Operators named in this guide, including Poseidon Expeditions, are referenced as illustrative examples; this site is not affiliated with IAATO and does not represent any operator exclusively.
