  • R

    Ray

    Asked on July 2nd, 2026

    What optionals are available?

    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written July 2026

      For Classic Antarctica, the key experiences are already included, such as the expedition lectures and Zodiac shore excursions around the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands, ice conditions permitting.

      There are not really paid sightseeing optionals in the usual sense, as the exact landing sites are decided by the expedition team based on weather and ice conditions. Possible stops may include places like Melchior Island, Cuverville Island, Portal Point, Neko Harbour, Pléneau Island and Petermann Island, depending on conditions.

      Cabin upgrades may be available on request as well, subject to availability.

  • L

    Lori

    Asked on June 23rd, 2026

    What is the cheapest available twin cabin for two travelers on an Antarctica Cruise? Can you provide details on the ship, inclusions, and cabin?

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written June 2026

      The 03 November departure is now fully sold out. For 12 November, there is still limited availability remaining, with only a few Standard Plus Twin cabins left. If you are looking for the most cost-effective option, the next available departures with better availability are on 01 December (limited availability) or 19 December.

    Allan

    Asked on February 24th, 2026

    When would tours for December/January 2027/2028 be released?

    Price / Availability
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written February 2026

      We do release dates quite a ways in advance for this tour, they're currently published until March 2027. I do not have an estimate as to when the rest of 2027 will be released, however if I was to make a guess it would likely be this Spring!

  • K

    Ken

    Asked on January 8th, 2026

    My mother is 77 years old and has limited mobility due to a back issue (uses a walker). She would very much like to see Antartica though understands that the Zodiak trips and the like would not be for her. Given said issue, would this trip be okay for her provided she remains on the ship?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written January 2026

      Unfortunately, the Classic Antarctica – 10 Days expedition would not be suitable for your mother, even if she were to remain onboard the ship throughout the voyage. All passengers must be in good overall health and physically capable of managing normal onboard and shore-related activities, which may involve moderate exertion and a high degree of self-sufficiency. This includes navigating stairs between decks and managing steep gangways. The ship is not equipped to accommodate wheelchairs or walkers.

  • B

    Beth

    Asked on November 26th, 2025

    Could you please confirm the bathroom arrangement for this type of booking?

    Accommodation
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written November 2025

      Two cabins share one bathroom accessible from both cabins (shower and wc). Each cabin is also equipped with its own washbasin.

    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written November 2025

      On the Classic Antarctica – 10 days tour, the standard twin cabins share a bathroom that's accessible from both cabins. Each cabin also has its own washbasin. If you prefer a private bathroom, there are a limited number of suites available with en-suite facilities.

    Ivan

    Asked on October 7th, 2025

    I was wondering if an 8 year old would be permitted to go on the cruise, as I note that the brochure states 10 as an "ideal age."

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written October 2025

      For the Classic Antarctica – 10 Day Tour departing Monday, 3 November 2025, the minimum age requirement is 15 years old. This means that unfortunately, children under 15—including 8-year-olds—are not permitted on this specific expedition cruise. The age guideline is in place due to the nature of the voyage, which includes: Zodiac landings in remote and potentially challenging environments, Moderate physical activity requirements, Safety protocols that may not be suitable for younger children

  • D

    Dale

    Asked on October 1st, 2025

    I'm interested in booking one of your tours in December as a solo traveler, but was wondering if you pair people in shared cabins? The cost is over a $5,000 difference to book a single private room and was wondering if there is any flexibility or other solo women traveling that would be paired up.

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written October 2025

      There is an option to share on this tour, so for 20th December we can offer our standard cabin, the cost is $8505. Please note that the availability is subject to change at anytime.

    Lynn

    Asked on August 21st, 2025

    I am a solo traveler interested in your tour starting on November 3rd (flexible december as well possible). I would like to ask if it is possible to find someone to share a room with me, or if you could let me know in case another solo traveler makes a similar request.

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written August 2025
