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. Drinking in Antarctica: 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. Drinking in Antarctica: Out on Deck!
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!
This is perfect for the backpacker, if you're on a tight budget then happy hour is a good way to save money on the boat. There is no need to drink any alcohol after happy hour, just get the cocktails in nice and early and sit back and relax. You can stare out the window at a land of white. Just an amazing travel experience.
- The Lounge Bar was open from around 4pm - 7pm and had a Happy Hour from 5pm - 6pm. Every day they had a different quirky featured cocktail (e.g. Gentoo Delight, Antarctic Sunrise, Snowstorm etc.).
- The Polar Bear Bar was open from around 8pm until closing time (whenever you wanted to stop drinking)
Over dinner you can also enjoy a drink - payment in cash at the end of the trip.
4. Drinking in Antarctica: Bring Your Own Alcohol
This is also a backpacker style option and where the real money saving is - buy some beer in Argentina and bring it on board to enjoy with your travel buddies!
5. Having a drink in Antarctica: Vernadskiy Station Bar
You can visit an actual bar in Antarctica, which is just amazing and will totally make your trip complete if you like a drink. At the Ukrainian Vernadskiy Station they have a bar which even has a vodka which is made in Antarctica. Cheers!
6. Drinking in Antarctica: A Pint at the South Pole
Visiting the south pole is one of the best travelling things you can do on planet earth, so what better way to celebrate than by cracking open a beer to celebrate! Congratulations!
Imagine having a beer at the South Pole!
So that's the 6 best ways to have a drink in Antarctica! Safe travels to the cold continent!
