According to Time Out, this unique tour is operated by the Red Savannah travel company. Visitors who book the tour will be treated to a special wedding ceremony like never before.
According to the tour schedule, visitors will travel from Cape Town (South Africa) by plane to Wolf's Fang airstrip in Antarctica. In addition to the wedding party, visitors on this tour will also experience many activities to explore the icy land.
Expensive wedding in Antarctica
Experiences include ziplining, exploring ice tunnels, visiting penguins, and seeing the Antarctic. Guests will stay in comfortable capsule tents. The accommodation area is equipped with a sauna and even a South African wine cellar. Couples who book the tour will be greeted with wine upon arrival, enjoy a special breakfast, and attend a wedding cake cutting ceremony on the ice.
Visitors will fly from Cape Town to Antarctica.
With all-inclusive services and amenities, the Antarctic wedding tour is not cheap. The lowest package is about 250,000 USD, including the cost of organizing a party for 12 people. This means that couples will have to choose their guests very carefully to attend this expensive party in the most remote place on the planet.
While many people are amazed by the luxury of the tours, many believe that such trips have a serious impact on the environment in Antarctica. Some tourists believe that Antarctica is one of the most vulnerable ecosystems on Earth. If tourism activities continue to be exploited here, the cold environment will no longer be intact.
In response to these concerns, Red Savannah, a travel company, said it spends about $1,000 per person on a commitment fee to conservation and sustainable tourism activities. However, many tourists still believe that the parties, to a greater or lesser extent, have an impact on the natural environment in Antarctica.
Wedding in the snow and ice
The custom of holding weddings in cold countries has existed for a long time, especially in Northern European regions such as Finland, Denmark, and Iceland. In recent years, holding weddings in the midst of white snow has also attracted a large number of foreign visitors to experience. A normal wedding is held in tropical countries, with pleasant weather, blue sea, and yellow sunshine. However, the experience of a wedding in a cold country has its own beauty.
Countries near the Arctic Circle offer cheap access to skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling. Warm cabins will refuel after a day of playing in beautiful national parks. Plus, couples can experience the Aurora Borealis, the northern lights.
A wedding was held in the North Pole.
According to Erkki Parkkinen, a wedding planner specializing in organizing snow country weddings, his clients come to Finland from all over the world. Therefore, Erkki has to learn and research the languages of each European and American country. Coming from the German department of a university, Erkki has taught himself 8 more languages from the US, Brazil, Norway, Finland,...
As a Sami native, Erkki knows exactly where to find the perfect wedding venue. For five years, he has trekked through forests and waded through waterfalls to find the perfect location. Erkki has found his way into the “hidden gems” of Finland’s snowy lands.
Parkkinen believes that this particular wedding location includes a brilliant winter sky with sparkling stars surrounded by snow-covered and frost-covered trees, and a landscape covered in a blanket of white snow. In the middle of a desolate snowy forest, a groom stands waiting for his beloved to appear, her sleigh probably parked somewhere out of sight.
