wow....I never knew they had large ships going down to Antarctica..I always thought they used the smaller ships w/ the razor bows cause it was too dangerous...I been wanting to take my parents down there but worried that my parents would be afraid of the ship size....thanks for uploading... I need to look into this!!

@texasboy5680 Unfortunately large ships are no longer allowed down there. This year was the last year that large ships were allowed. From now on small ships only.

@SammyTerry1313 aww man... u ruined my parents 35yr anniversary present.....lol...j/k..thats a shame about the large ships...so many ppl are turned off by the Antarctica cruises because the ships are so small and the cruises are normally 7-16 days...not typically the service, accommodations, amenities nor luxury one excepts on the larger ships..Was the reason for the large ship ban safety or low attendance rate, cause u would think those itinerary's would have been very profitable?

@texasboy5680 Ecological reasons. They want to keep Antarctica a pristine place. Big ships were never allowed to travel any further south than the parallel of 65 degrees south. I don't know what the exact new limit is, but all of Antarctica is off limits to big ships.

@glickwoman It's not going to Florida, it's going to Antarctica.
