The guide details the various basics of travel in cold climes, and gives some helpful information about the ships used and a host of other useful information.
The same site includes some details of clothing for extreme temperature, and the opportunity to purchase.

Another site full of useful details about what and what not to expect on an Antarctic tour, together with information on the various cruise ships and operators, is 'Cruises.about.com'.
