Adventure ships are expedition vessels that offer adventure options for travelers who seek a more active trip. Available adventure options depend on the specific ship and trip, and all options are not available on all ships. There is an additional fee for these optional adventures (except for camping), and they limit the number of participants on each departure. In some cases, previous experience is necessary to participate.
Adventure Options include: overnight camping on shore, sea kayaking, mountaineering, cross-country-skiing, diving, and more (weather and water conditions permitting). These options provide unique opportunities to interact directly with Antarctica and explore the wilderness in a more active way.
This category of ship still adheres to the principles of conservation and preservation and world exploration for the fortunate few. The close-up views that these vessels provide let you experience the beauty of Antarctica while having minimal impact on the local environment. All are equipped with a fleet of Zodiac landing craft and staffed by qualified expedition leaders, experienced naturalists and lecturers.
Former research ships refurbished for small-group passenger travel. These ships feature large decks and open bridges, but maintain the expeditionary feel of their former status. They offer economical options for solo travelers who want to share accommodations with other passengers in a wide range of cabin categories.
