It seems January / February are the best times to go.

These trips are very expensive.

On most ships at least 8,000 Euros / 10,000 US dollars.

So 5,000 US dollars which is still expensive seems to be the cruise for the poor; which I find amusing. No offence.

If I ever go I want to go on Happag Lloyd / the Bremen or their expedition ships.

What I like about them is that their ships can slice through the ice.

Getting off the ship and walking on the ice seems a hoot.
Missed that one!

Well, of course you can spend more money and be on a nicer ship and go during high season, but there are also advantages for march such as whale spotting and less tourists So it really depends what you want I would say. If you think 5000 is a cruise for the poor, I Really hope you are making fun of me and hope you have fun on the 10000+ cruises
