For your sleeping arrangements, the cabins come in various configurations, with single, double, triple, or quadruple occupancy. Onboard ship, the cabins and common spaces absolute comfort and warmth. But be sure to keep a jacket nearby in case a sudden whale sighting inspires you to run out onto the deck!

During the day, a host of unique polar experiences and invigorating activities are available to you. Zippy Zodiacs will take you from the ship to the shore where you can hike and try your hand at some wildlife photography. Keep your eyes peeled for many different species of penguins and seals. Polar diving in the icy waters will show you what's below the tip of the iceberg and you can admire the hardy sealife like anemones who survive in the polar sea. You can also go kayaking or opt to spend the night camping under the antarctic sky.
As you travel around Antarctica, you will see the breathtaking views of mountains, islands, and harbours.
