It depends on the offer: some include a domestic flight, pre-cruise hotel, a parka or all-inclusive service, while others include almost nothing. Every offer on this site lists its published inclusions.
Not always. Early bookings already show discounts of up to 57% published months in advance, and some departures sell out before ever reaching the last minute.
Per person, twin share. Upper cabins and singles cost more.
Flies over the Drake: fewer sailing days, higher cost per day.
Adventure, no frills. Lowest cost per day on the market.
Similar fares can hide a flight, a hotel or all-inclusive service.
