The name is fitting. On calm days the water reflects the ice and peaks with an almost surreal clarity. Ships typically anchor in the bay and launch Zodiac cruises among the icebergs and along the glacier faces. The Almirante Brown Argentine research station sits on the shore, though it is not always staffed. Gentoo penguins nest in the area, and leopard seals are sometimes spotted on ice floes. Setting foot on the shore here counts as stepping onto the Antarctic continent, which is a draw for many passengers. Weather conditions determine whether landings are possible on any given day. Bring every layer you own, including waterproof outer gear, and keep your camera charged in an inside pocket because cold drains batteries fast. ## Quick facts - **Currency:** No local currency (N/A) - **Timezone:** America/Argentina/Ushuaia (UTC-3) - **Tipping:** Not applicable ## Location Coordinates: -64.8953, -62.8700 - [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/cruise+terminal+Paradise%20Harbor/@-64.8953,-62.87,13z) - [Open in Apple Maps](https://maps.apple.com/?q=cruise%20terminal%20Paradise%20Harbor&ll=-64.8953,-62.87&z=13) ## Nearby ports - [Elephant Island](https://cruisello.com/destinations/antarctica/elephant-island.md): 583 km (315 nm) · Antarctica - [Cape Horn](https://cruisello.com/destinations/south-america/cape-horn.md): 1,017 km (549 nm) · Chile - [Ushuaia](https://cruisello.com/destinations/south-america/ushuaia.md): 1,161 km (627 nm) · Argentina ## Cruise lines stopping here - [Celebrity Cruises](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/celebrity-cruises.md) - [Norwegian Cruise Line](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/norwegian-cruise-line.md) ## Cheapest Available Sailing **[View this cruise →](https://cruisello.com/cruises/frostfire-passage-horn-ice~CEL-CELEBRITY_EQUINOX-20290211-14.md)** - **Price:** €2,456 per person (€4,911 total for 2 guests) - **Cruise Line:** [Celebrity Cruises](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/celebrity-cruises.md) - **Ship:** [Celebrity Equinox](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/celebrity-cruises/celebrity-equinox.md) - **Duration:** 14 nights - **Departure:** 2029-02-11 - **Itinerary:** Frostfire Passage – Horn & Ice ## Cruises visiting Paradise Harbor Prices are per person, two sharing. | Cruise | Ship | Line | From | Departure | Nights | Price | |------|------|------|------|------|------|------| | [Glacial Quest – Ushuaia & Cape Horn](https://cruisello.com/cruises/glacial-quest-ushuaia-cape-horn~CEL-CELEBRITY_EQUINOX-20270102-14.md) | Celebrity Equinox | Celebrity Cruises | 🇦🇷 Buenos Aires | 2027-01-02 | 14 | €3,160 | [See all Paradise Harbor cruises](https://cruisello.com/cruises.md?stopoverPorts=paradise_harbor) ## Ready to sail to Paradise Harbor?
