Planning an expedition to Antarctica is exciting, but with so many ships, operators, itineraries and cabin options, choosing the right trip can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where the right Antarctica travel agency makes all the difference.
Founded in 2013 by a team passionate about Antarctica and Tierra del Fuego, Freestyle Adventure Travel helps travelers find the expedition that best matches their interests, budget and travel style. We work with a wide range of Antarctic expedition operators, so you get personalized advice and access to the same prices offered by the cruise companies, plus tailored service that goes far beyond the booking itself.
Here’s why travelers from around the world choose to book their Antarctica cruise with Freestyle.
Booking with Freestyle at a glance
- Same price as booking directly with the operator, with no extra fees
- Many expedition operators compared, with no single brand pushed
- Exclusive access to last-minute Antarctica cruise deals
- A local office in downtown Ushuaia, the gateway to Antarctica
- Free polar gear, plus a beanie and buff to keep (Ushuaia departures)
- Complimentary camper van parking and luggage storage
We’re deal finders: Antarctica cruise deals across operators
One of the biggest advantages of booking with Freestyle is that we work with multiple Antarctic expedition operators rather than representing a single brand. We compare departures, ships, cabins, promotions and availability across the market to find the best option for your trip.
Looking for a luxury expedition, a small-ship experience, a fly-and-cruise itinerary or the best value available? We’ll guide you toward the itinerary that fits your goals.
We also get exclusive access to the latest last-minute deals released by the ship operators. These offers typically appear around two to three weeks before departure, when operators are looking to fill their remaining cabins. If your travel dates are flexible, they can mean exceptional savings on your Antarctic expedition.
Best of all, you pay the same price you would by booking directly with the cruise operator. Our service comes at no additional cost and gives you expert guidance, the latest offers and personalized support throughout the entire booking process.
Our office is in Ushuaia, the gateway to Antarctica
We’re based right in Ushuaia, the gateway to Antarctica, and our downtown office is open to help you before and after your expedition.
As locals, we can answer every question about the city and recommend restaurants, hotels, transportation and sightseeing, so your stay in Ushuaia is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
Having a local team nearby also gives you peace of mind if you need help before embarkation or after returning from Antarctica.
Free Antarctic gear for your expedition
Packing for Antarctica can be confusing, especially if you’re coming from a warmer climate.
To make your trip easier and help you save on rental costs, we provide several items free of charge for passengers whose voyage departs from and returns to Ushuaia. Depending on your expedition, we can provide:
- Waterproof ski pants
- Waterproof gloves
- A warm winter jacket
- A complimentary beanie to keep
- A Freestyle neck buff to keep
That means many travelers skip buying or renting expensive cold-weather gear they’d only use once. Our team is also happy to tell you exactly what to pack, so you arrive fully prepared for Antarctic conditions.
Personalized guidance from Antarctica travel experts
Choosing an Antarctic expedition is about much more than picking a departure date.
Different ships offer different experiences, from intimate expedition vessels carrying fewer than 100 guests to larger, more luxurious ships with expanded amenities. Some itineraries focus on wildlife, while others cross the Antarctic Circle or add South Georgia and the Malvinas/Falkland Islands.
Every member of our team has sailed to Antarctica, and we’ll help you compare:
- Ships and operators
- Cabin categories
- Expedition styles
- Trip lengths
- Included activities
- Budget options versus luxury experiences
Because we work with multiple operators, our recommendations focus on one thing: finding the best fit for you. From your first inquiry until departure day, we’re here to answer questions, explain the booking process, assist with documentation and help with any changes that come up.
Complimentary parking for camper vans
Many travelers explore Patagonia by camper van before arriving in Ushuaia for their Antarctic expedition. To make things easier, Freestyle offers secure parking for camper vans during your voyage, so you can leave your vehicle with us while you explore Antarctica.
One less logistical detail to worry about before the adventure of a lifetime.
Free luggage storage in Ushuaia
Not every traveler flies straight home after Antarctica. If you’re continuing through Patagonia or simply need somewhere safe to leave your belongings before or after your cruise, we offer complimentary luggage storage for our passengers.
Extra clothing, camping equipment or travel gear you won’t need on board can stay safely with us, so you travel lighter.
