No, we can't hug the animals in Antarctica. Antarctic animals, like penguins, seals, and whales, are wild and need to be left undisturbed. International agreements, like the Antarctic Treaty and its Environmental Protocol, emphasize protecting the unique wildlife there. These rules prohibit close interaction with animals to ensure their safety and well-being, as well as ours. Observing from a respectful distance is the best way to appreciate them! If an animal in Antarctica approaches us, stay calm, stay still or slowly back away to give it space. Let it leave on its own and follow the guide’s instructions.
This expedition cruise lasts 12 days, with a double balcony cabin costing around $20k for two people. However, there are lower and higher cabin categories available on the ship to suit different preferences. Additionally, Hurtigruten offers multiple itineraries in Antarctica, some extending beyond 20 days to explore surrounding areas like the Falklands and South Georgia.
