For your expedition, it's important to be prepared. Please take note of the following details:

The cruise requires all passengers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least two weeks prior to departure.

Due to logistical restrictions, environmental regulations, and local laws, the use of drones is prohibited. Plan to leave any drones or UAVs at home. Be in touch prior to departure to find out more.

To get the most out of your Antarctic adventure, it is recommended to pack this useful gear:
Waterproof pants (required for Zodiac landings)
Thermal base layer (top and bottom)
Thin fleece or wool sweater
Fleece pants
Liner socks
Thick wool socks
Neckwarmer
Warm hat
Warm gloves
Brimmed hat
Sunglasses
Waterproof and sweatproof sunscreen and lip balm
Swimsuit
Waterproof backback (or with a rain cover)

Please note that since your destination is open for travel, the normal terms and conditions of the properties will apply, which is that the deposit payment is non-refundable since we must pay the properties at the time of booking to secure your reservation.
Should there be any COVID-19 travel restrictions reinstated in the future, or should other COVID-related issues prevent you from taking the trip (e.g. country closes its borders), you have the option to postpone your trip to a later date by giving written notice at least 60 days prior to the start of your trip.
You are advised to purchase comprehensive travel insurance to cover your trip, especially to provide coverage for illness including COVID-19 or a medical emergency during your trip, trip interruption, and trip cancellation. There are now many policies on the market which cover COVID-19 related issues, and there are also “Cancel for Any Reason” (CFAR) policies.
