Drinking In Antarctica

By Jonny Blair


Alcohol is available in Antarctica and you will enjoy it. Having travelled to Antarctica a few years back I outline my tips on how to drink alcohol there and in fact this is now a top 6! Get on that boat and see the penguins, but relax while you're doing it. That beer will be cold and sweet.

1. Alcohol in Antarctica - drinking on Antarctic land

Having a beer on the continent of Antarctica is something you should definitely do. Strictly speaking you're not meant to but having a small celebration and toasting to your landings on Antarctica is a great way to bond with your ship mates and savour the taste of alcohol in the world's southernmost continent.

2. Alcohol in Antarctica - a drink on the deck of the boat!

Having an ice cold beer out on deck while sailing down Antarctica was a dream of mine and I did it. It's a great way to relax and admire the epic views out of the window of the ship. As you cruise through blizzards, snowstorms and icebergs, get out on deck and admire the scenery over a cold pint of beer, at least the beer will be the perfect temperature!

3. Alcohol in Antarctica - Happy Hour at the bar on the boat!

If you're on a tight budget, have no fear, happy hour is here! On board your boat you should be able to take full advantage of the Happy Hour meaning you can enjoy your backpacker lifestyle while sailing down the world's epic cold continent.

- There's a lounge bar on the boat which is usually open from 4pm - 7pm everyday.

- There is also a late night bar on board the boat, open usually around 8pm until late.

At dinner time in the on-board restaurant you can also enjoy a drink.

4. Having a drink in Antarctica - bring some alcohol on-board

To save money and still manage a drink on your Antarctica cruise, buy your own alcohol. Buy it while you are staying in Argentina and carry it on board with you!

5. Alcohol in Antarctica: Ukranian Station Bar

A great way to enjoy a drink in Antarctica is to actually drink in a bar on the cold continent. You're in luck! There is a bar at the Ukrainian Vernadskiy Station which even serves its own vodka. They actually make a vodka in Antarctica and you can sample it here.

6. Having a drink in Antarctica - head to the South Pole and celebrate with a drink

If you ever make it to the South Pole, how amazing would it be to have a drink right there - at the bottom of the world. Get a beer and toast to a mega achievement in your life!

If you ever make it to the South Pole it would be an incredible moment to open a beer!

So that's the 6 best ways to have a drink in Antarctica! Safe travels to the cold continent!
