==== 1. What this Antarctica cruise actually includes ====

Your 14-night Equinox cruise (Jan 17–31, 2026) does:
* Buenos Aires (roundtrip)
* Ushuaia
* Cape Horn (cruising)
* Gerlache Strait – scenic cruising
* Paradise Bay – scenic cruising
* Schollart Channel – scenic cruising
* Elephant Island – scenic cruising
* Port Stanley (Falkland Islands)
* Puerto Madryn
* Montevideo BVTravel.com<ref>{{cite web|title=BVTravel.com|url=https://bvtravel.com/sailing/Celebrity-Cruises/14-night-Antarctica-Cruise/1524933|publisher=bvtravel.com|access-date=2026-01-06}}</ref>

On Celebrity’s own site and the third-party listings, Antarctica stops are labeled “Cruising” or “Sightseeing”, not ports with tenders. That means:

: You remain on the ship while the captain slow-cruises through icebergs, channels, and bays. There are no Zodiac landings or walks on the continent on these big-ship Celebrity itineraries.

So the “wildlife tour” / “Zodiac tour” language you may have seen online usually refers to expedition ships (small 100–200 passenger vessels) – not Equinox.

You will still get:
* Stunning 360° views from open decks and lounges as they rotate the ship. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Cruise/comments/1or6gb3/anyone_done_the_14day_celebrity_equinox/|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2026-01-06}}</ref>
* Naturalist/expert lectures and commentary while you cruise the Antarctic Peninsula area. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Cruise/comments/1or6gb3/anyone_done_the_14day_celebrity_equinox/|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2026-01-06}}</ref>

Those are part of your cruise and don’t require reservations with an expedition team.
