Before my first trip to Antarctica, my biggest fear was not the cold or the cost, it was crossing the Drake Passage and dealing with rough seas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am naturally prone to seasickness, so I went deep on research, tested multiple remedies, and learned the hard way what actually works and what does not. After three separate Antarctica expeditions, including both the Drake Passage (twice) and the Southern Ocean to the Ross Sea, I have firsthand experience with expedition cruise motion sickness, failed fixes, and reliable strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide combines real-world experience with practical, tested tips so you can feel prepared, pack the right options, and improve your odds of feeling functional instead of miserable during your crossing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained

I\u2019d heard a lot of different stories of the passage that it takes two days to pass through, and not many were very positive! They all ended with a barf bag and feeling uncomfortable for a few days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s lots of great advice out there \u2013 from patches to electric currents to homeopathic remedies to good old-fashioned drugs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what my experience was like and some tips from both trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group

enough.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prescription patches and motion-sickness tablets are usually the strongest options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Natural remedies and wristbands can help, but work better as backups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-theme-palette-9-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-a566ac58b395d068b6bda7414b17ff65\">Start medication

water experience was different between the Drake Passage and the Southern Ocean crossing, mainly because of duration and recovery time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Drake was intense but shorter, taking about two days, and even though I felt pretty miserable, it passed before long. The Ross Sea, on the other hand, meant navigating rough water for 7 to 10 days; the longer exposure made preparation and medication strategy more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In both cases, I still got seasick, but the second trip taught me that adjusting meds and giving my body time to get its sea legs made a noticeable difference.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image71377_af7150-7f .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image71377_af7150-7f size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/antarctica-Drake-07-1200x676.jpg\" alt=\"Drake Lake passage\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-73236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/antarctica-Drake-07-1200x676.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/antarctica-Drake-07-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/antarctica-Drake-07-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/antarctica-Drake-07.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Drake_Passage_Seasickness_Experience\"><\/span>My Drake Passage Seasickness Experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I experienced some pretty bad seasickness on my first trip, the one across the Drake Passage. Here is an account of my experience at the time from my journal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Breakfast_Table_Scene\"><\/span>The Breakfast Table Scene<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Glasses and plates rattle like the percussion section. The boat crashes back down onto the water with a boom of a bass drum. The constant hum and rumble of the engines provide the melody. Occasionally, you\u2019ll hear a wave crash against the boat with a swishing noise in a completely different key.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>As I sat in my chained-down<\/em> <em>chair at the breakfast table, I watched my coffee in my cup teeter-totter back and forth towards the rim of the cup. I tried to guess when it would finally go over the side and spill over into my saucer. As I fixated on the service staff rolling and pitching with large platters in their hands, I overheard a man say that today we had a very confused sea.<\/em> <em>I thought about the term confused sea and slightly chuckled to myself, giving my uneasy stomach a moment of relief as my mind had something else to think about for a moment. I mused to myself that it\u2019s not really the sea\u2019s fault \u2013 it\u2019s just a little mixed up, as if someone didn\u2019t provide the correct directions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Horizontal_Survival_Mode\"><\/span>Horizontal Survival Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I leave after eating a couple of bites of my fruit and retreat to the horizontal position that the Drake Passage requires me to be in. I don\u2019t like the horizontal position \u2013 it gives me too much time to think. I think about my stomach, think about my life, I think about every little noise, and I think about just how much the ship is pitching and rolling.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This is what I was worried about when we were preparing for the trip.&nbsp; The Drake Passage is the body of water between the southern tip of South America and the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It gets its reputation as the roughest sea in the world for good reason. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current gets squeezed through this narrow gap between the South American and Antarctic continents, and it is the squeezing of this current in an area of naturally high winds that is a major cause of Drake\u2019s moodiness.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I close my eyes, but the symphony continues \u2013 the popping and creaking noises never stop. Why won\u2019t they stop? It sounds as if you are deep underwater, and the popping and crackling noises are the water and pressure on your head \u2013 squeezing it like a vice.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Just as I predicted, my dad is unaffected by the sea, but I\u2019m down for the count even after taking meds. He even goes outside to the top deck to watch the chaos. He gets to see Cape Horn and gets a picture of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans \u2018intersection.

The Scopolamine patch helped a little, but it did not carry me through the roughest days. Plus &#8211; I absolutely hated the side effects of the Scopolamine patch &#8211; dry mouth and weird dreams.  For me, the dry mouth sensation was unbearable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stugeron_%E2%80%93_Cinnarizine\"><\/span>Stugeron &#8211; Cinnarizine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I switched off the patch to Cinnarizine (also known as Stugeron and found in the UK). Stugeron is\u00a0an antihistamine and calcium channel blocker primarily used to treat motion sickness, nausea, vomiting, and vertigo. It worked better for me and made the biggest difference once I changed over. Notably, no more dry mouth! Bringing multiple types of remedies gave me flexibility when one approach was not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the same type of drug as <a data-lasso-id=\"1119330\" data-lasso-lid=\"36043\" data-lasso-name=\"Dramamine Tablets Less Drowsy Formula\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B004AIC560?tag=ottsworld-20\" type=\"lasso-urls\" id=\"36043\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dramamine<\/a>, which is sold in the US for motion sickness and nausea.

Turn on the device and adjust the intensity until you feel a slight tingling in your palm and middle fingers. There were plenty of times when I had it turned up all the way, and it reminded me of a TENS unit &#8211; my fingers would move uncontrollably with the pulse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But overall, I did really like it. It was perfect for day-to-day stuff on the ship and zodiac cruising. In fact, once I got my sea legs, most days I didn&#8217;t take any medication and just used the Reliefband and was fine. And then on the rougher seas, I would use both Stugeron and the Reliefband and would be ok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliate-plugin-lasso\"><div id=\"lasso-anchor-id-70074-1119499\" class=\"lasso-container\">\n    <!-- LASSO DISPLAY BOX (https:\/\/getlasso.co) -->\n\t<div class=\"lasso-display lasso-splash lasso-url-amzn-reliefband-sport-anti-nausea-wristband-waterproof-fda-cleared-nausea-vomiting-relief-for-motion-sickness-car-air-sea-morning-sickness-drug-side-effect-free-black-1-extra-gel-tube \">\n\n\t\t<!-- BADGE -->\n\t\t\n\t\t<!-- LASSO TITLE, PRICE, DESC, AND IMAGE -->\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-1\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"lasso-image\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Reliefband-Anti-Nausea-Wristband-Waterproof-Vomiting\/dp\/B0F24YRCC7?tag=ottsworld-20\" data-lasso-box-trackable=\"true\" data-lasso-id=\"1119499\" data-lasso-lid=\"70074\" data-lasso-name=\"Reliefband Sport Anti-Nausea Wristband\" title=\"Reliefband Sport Anti-Nausea Wristband\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lasso-image-no-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41TTdPiz8sL._SL500_.jpg\" height=\"500\" width=\"500\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Reliefband Sport Anti-Nausea Wristband\">\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<!-- BUTTONS -->\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"lasso-title\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Reliefband-Anti-Nausea-Wristband-Waterproof-Vomiting\/dp\/B0F24YRCC7?tag=ottsworld-20\" data-lasso-box-trackable=\"true\" data-lasso-id=\"1119499\" data-lasso-lid=\"70074\" data-lasso-name=\"Reliefband Sport Anti-Nausea Wristband\" title=\"Reliefband Sport Anti-Nausea Wristband\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tReliefband Sport Anti-Nausea Wristband\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-price\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-price-value\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"discount-price\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"latest-price\">$249.99<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"lasso-amazon-prime\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51);\">The updated Reliefband Sport is a revolutionary therapeutic device indicated for use in the treatment of nausea and vomiting due to motion sickness.

Using medication plus simple tactics \u2014 like getting horizontal when needed, then later sitting upright and watching the horizon \u2014 made recovery periods shorter and more manageable. It also really helped when I could get outside and get fresh air &#8211; even if it was short stints.  And finally &#8211; time matters.  Getting my sea legs took about 4 days, and once my body adjusted, I felt noticeably better for the rest of the voyage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What did not work was relying on a single remedy and expecting it to solve everything. Even with medication, I still had a few miserable days in rough water. Waiting too long to switch strategies also made things harder than they needed to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I did it again, I would still bring multiple remedies, start early, and change course faster if something was not working.
