Visit All 7 Continents
Ticked off in December 2024
What it is
Setting foot on all seven continents means including Antarctica, which is usually the last and most expensive.
How to do it
Six continents can be ticked off with ordinary trips; Antarctica is usually reached by expedition cruise from Ushuaia in Argentina between November and March.
Top tip
Last-minute cruise deals in Ushuaia can be much cheaper than booking a year ahead.
My experience
7 Continents
Alongside wanting to visit all 196 countries I also want to reach all 7 continents. Technically you can visit every country without visiting every continent as Antarctica is not classed as a country, but where is the fun in that?
