Question Antarctica for someone prone to seasickness

Hoping to get some advice from people who've been to Antarctica who are prone to being seasick on options that may be more suitable. I'm quite prone to seasickness, so the idea of being on a boat for extended periods of time in the roughest waters in the world isn't exactly my idea of bliss. That being said, Antarctica is on my bucket list, and I'd like to see it a bit closer than just a fly-over.

I've actually never been on a cruise before (closest would have been a one-night overnight boat trip in Norway, where I managed to survive by doping myself up on Gravol). I've been seasick a number of times on short day trips, though, and it's been pretty miserable.

Any experiences to share, or any suggestions on tours that would be more suitable to someone who is prone to seasickness? Obviously, I'm thinking a larger boat would likely be a smoother ride, but would love any more specific ideas.
