Well done. The trip crossed the Antarctic circle. We did not go as far as promised but saw many glaciers and wildlife.

I absolutely loved this trip; it was perfect for me and my daughter. What you should know about us is that we are up for adventure and don't expect to be treated like royalty. This trip was an "excursion", not a "cruise", so do not sign up if you are expecting multiple restaurants, live entertainment, or other such luxuries. But, if you want to have the experience of a lifetime, explore the last great wilderness on the planet, and learn more about how you can help conserve that wilderness, this is a fantastic trip. The itinerary changes day by day depending on the weather, but you just might find an unexplored cove to explore/chart for future trips (we did!) or be the southernmost commercial ship on the planet (we were!). You might have a whale swim under your boat and then pop up its head to say hello, or a penguin momma show off her egg. And you might have 20 foot waves in the Drake Passage. Go in with the willingness to adapt and you will love it!Show more

  The group size says it is a maximum of 200 people. Do you require 200 people to operate this departure or is it a general number for the capacity of the ship?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2024
  Single occupancy options: Cat 1 Single Interior – we only have 5 rooms left on this departure for $13,635 (sale price). We also have our Category 4a single porthole which is $17,235 (sale price) and we have 10 spots left for that one. The boat doesn't need to be full to run, it would run even with 50 people!
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2024
  Cancellation by you: 95 days or more before departure we will retain your deposit; fewer than 95 days before departure the cancellation fee is 100% of monies paid. We HIGHLY recommend you take out trip cancellation insurance, along with the mandatory medical insurance.
