While every effort is made to adhere to the published itinerary, you should realize that with this kind of adventurous travel that changes will sometimes be made due to unpredictable or severe weather conditions.
A tight time connection with an Antarctic expedition is unwise so we strongly advise a flexible air ticket be held for onward travel and that in any case you do not book a flight out on the expected day of arrival into Punta Arenas.
All passengers will be required to fill in a participation form prior to sailing.
These voyages are intended for persons in reasonably good health. You should be comfortable travelling in remote areas and be happy on both large and small boats.
Contact us with any suitability questions.
