This is an exciting 11-day cruise exploring the remote icescapes and wildlife of  the Antarctic Peninsula aboard the Russian Icebreaker, Akademik Ioffe. The cruise starts and ends in the Argentine city of Ushuaia. 
As well as a bar, fitness room, Wellness Centre and Infirmary, the ship is equipped with a strengthened hull and inbuilt stabilizers for a comfortable and safe journey. That said, The Drake Passage can be very rough and motion sickness is a possibility. To avoid this, it's a good idea to visit your doctor for sea-sickness medication before you leave. 
You must have comprehensive travel insurance, including cover for medical costs, hospitalization, emergency travel and repatriation. 
A visa is not required for Antarctica, but you may need one for Argentina and possibly Chile if you are flying via Santiago. Please check with us or the relevant consular authorities before travelling. 
While we will make every effort to follow the itinerary outlined here, modifications may be necessary due to weather, political, ice or other conditions. 
All passengers will be required to fill in a participation form before leaving home.
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.
To extend your adventure to the end of the world, Antarctica combines very well with Patagonia and some voyages start and end in Punta Arenas which makes it even easier to include both these legendary destinations.
