Wow thanks these replies were super helpful.

Definitely seems that crossing the circle is only worth it if you do a dedicated trip that actually has more in depth exploring so I am gonna look into just doing the Falklands, South Georgia and the Peninsula.

Thanks!

Thanks for the replies.

I guess what it boils down to is the question I am still stuck on.

Is crossing the circle worth it?

I'm looking into booking a cruise to Antarctica. I know I definitely want to do the Falklands and South Georgia but I am undecided on if I want to include crossing the circle.

I guess because this is a bucket list trip that I probably will only do once, I want to try and include as much as possible.

But there are fewer options for cruises that include all these places. And the couple I have found were either at a bad time of year to get time off work (over Christmas) or more expensive.

I am looking at the cheaper end of the market (ok with sharing a cabin but would prefer not to end up in a top bunk) which seems kinda funny to type since I know it is gonna cost 20K+ :)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I cruised on the Independence last week and I am a vegan.

I was given a print out of a vegan menu each night after dinner in the MDR (as well as the normal menus) to pick my meals for the next night.
