    Alex

    Asked on February 17th, 2026

    Any single room options please also how difficult is dis embarking from ship at highlight points I have both knees and 1 hip replaced I do not need a cane or mobility aid just can't bend to squat down so getting in and zodiacs unless large ones may be difficult

    Accommodation
    Travel Support
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2026

      There are no single cabins on the ship, however you can pay extra to have a private cabin. Please note that this is calculated based on the original cabin type you choose to make private, e.g. Main Deck Triple , Upper Deck Obstructed View Triple, Lower Deck Triple, Lower Deck Twin, Main Deck Porthole Twin, Main Deck Window Twin, Upper Deck Twin / Superior, Deluxe Twin, Suite Double and Owner's Suite Double.

      This trip is assigned a Physical Rating of 2. It is accessible to most fitness levels and for those able to do extended walks and light hiking on various terrain. It is important to note that for landings in Antarctica we use Zodiacs and wet beach landings in what sometimes can be extreme environments. This will require you to be able to safely navigate ice and snow on uneven ground, to lift your leg over the side of a Zodiac and push yourself up, walk on wet, rocky beaches and stand throughout the landing with no place to sit. Our expedition team is there to assist you if needed but having good mobility is important for your safety and enjoyment. Please also note that the G Expedition does not have an elevator and thus staircases must be used to move between decks, and depending on the weather the ship can sometimes find itself navigating rough and choppy sea conditions.
