It's important to know
Are plane tickets included in the price of the tour?
Air and railway tickets are not included in the price of the tour. You can purchase them yourself or contact us for help.
Can the cruise itinerary change?
This is a trip to a remote, inaccessible region. All activities during the cruise depend on the ice and weather conditions and are determined by the expedition leader and the captain.
The actual course of the expedition may differ from the stated one.
Meetings with declared representatives of the animal world are not guaranteed.
Will we be accompanied by a photographer on the cruise?
An experienced photographer participates in all our cruises. He is always ready to share his knowledge both on board the ship during photo presentations and lectures, and during disembarkation.
If you are just starting to get acquainted with the world of photography, don't worry. Both advanced and novice photographers can participate in our tours. You will master the key fundamentals of photography in a unique environment, with the opportunity to get your questions answered by the best photographers.
What do you need to know about kayaking?
Kayaking is paid extra:
on cruises Antarctica Continent and the Southern Arctic Circle – 895 USD;
on cruises visiting South Georgia and the Falklands – 995 USD.
According to our kayakers, in the very first minutes they realized that they had never experienced such feelings from kayaking anywhere else on the planet. Crystal clear waters carry the kayak in magical harmony — the splash of water, the sound of drops falling from temporarily inactive oars, and the crackle of centuries-old ice. Whales and sparkling icebergs float past you. The grandeur and splendor of the panorama seem to reduce your own size, and it is at this moment that you will be able to feel like a tiny particle of the vast universe more than ever.
To participate in polar kayaking, you need experience and knowledge of English.
The number of places is limited: 16 kayakers in the Antarctic and 8 in the Arctic, so it is recommended to book this option in advance.
Is insurance included in the price of the tour?
Insurance is not included in the price of the tour. Medical insurance is required for the tour, including evacuation and repatriation (minimum coverage of at least 200,000 USD).
