Antarctic Quest
This 20-day Antarctic expedition is for people who are always on the move.
There are kayaking and camping options (limited availability, recommend reserving at the time of booking) to get you closer to the amazing sights and wildlife.
While your are in the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula, there are an average of three activities off the ship per day.
Wild camping
Past campers tell us that they spent most of the night outside their tents absorbing the silence. The stars seem near enough to touch.
Campers from the Northern Hemisphere find the constellations unfamiliar, adding to the other-worldliness of the experience. Everyone says that camping deepens their understanding of Antarctica in countless ways. Space is limited for this free optional activity.
Kayaking
When you get into the kayak and feel comfortable with the raft, this is when you will truly understand that the experience of of paddling in Antarctica is like no other.
Crystal clear water supports the hull. The elemental sounds of water lapping and the drip of resting paddles are a counterpoint to the cry of penguins and the cracking of ancient ice. Amazing.
All this comes on top of the usual stunning scenery and sights of the Antarctic offered on other cruises.
On-board experts have a thorough education program that introduces you to the flora and fauna of each region as we travel through.
If you want a little more adventure on your South Pole exploration, then this is the trip for you. |
