    Asked on February 4th, 2026

    Could you please clarify what the "Antarctica: The White Continent – Ground Operator Air Fee" refers to? Is this fee mandatory for the tour, or is it a technical issue and should not be displayed on the booking page? Additionally, could you please confirm whether transportation is included as part of the tour?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • ColletteOperatorWritten January 2026

      The ship will be the Atlas World Voyager or the Atlas World Traveller. Atlas Ocean Voyages refers to their sailing vessels as yachts. However, these are not the small, private vessels you may picture when you think of a yacht. They are more like small cruise ships: 423 ft in length, 10,000 gross tons and featuring over 100 suites and staterooms. The max capacity is 196 passengers and 130 crew members. These vessels are considered small size by Antarctica Expedition standards.

      INCLUDED ROOM TYPES:
      A) Horizon Stateroom (A1/A2).
      B) Veranda Stateroom (B1/B2).
      There is no difference in cost. Both room types accommodate two people (2). Cabins are requested and confirmed with Atlas after deposit is collected. If cabin is requested in a specific category but no longer available, we will confirm the nearest cabin type with no additional cost. I.E. if you request A1, but only B1 is available, we will confirm you in a B1 Cabin.

      UPGRADES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE:
      A) Horizon Staterooms (A1/A2) are 270 sq. ft. cabin featuring a Juliette Balcony, which is a floor to ceiling window, which can be opened half-way (no outdoor seating, just a window).
      B) Veranda Staterooms (B1/B2) are 270 sq. ft. cabins featuring a private balcony with seating.
      Both rooms are 270 sq. ft., however, Horizon Staterooms are fully interior space with the large window, while Veranda Staterooms have a portion of the square footage as an outdoor balcony. Both rooms have Queen Size Beds which can be separated into two single beds upon request.

      All given names and cabin types are subject to change and availability. Cabin selection and assignment is under cruise line / yacht operator control.

    Asked on October 23rd, 2025

    Can I check what does the additional $1500 charges are meant for? Will the domestic flights be covered?

    Flights / Transfers
    Price / Availability
    • ColletteOperatorWritten October 2025

      In regards, to the additional charge of $1500.00, there are additional deposits required throughout the process, and usually an additional commitment is required when you choose your cabin category at the beginning. Air packages are available where we can assist with quotes or confirmation of an air package once you have reviewed the available options.

    Asked on August 21st, 2025

    I am a solo traveler interested in your tour starting on November 7rd. I would like to ask if it is possible to find someone to share a room with me. I don't mind if its female or male or culture, age... Would be great because the price for a shared room would be perfect for my budget.

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • ColletteOperatorWritten August 2025

      Collette does not participate in traveler matching programs. Guests intending to travel under Double Occupancy would have to be ready with both travelers' legal names on the reservation. Otherwise, the Solo Traveler would be responsible for the Single rate.

    Tour Details
    • ColletteOperatorWritten April 2025

      On Day 9, your captain works with the expedition team to determine possible shore landings and Zodiac safaris. You may take a Zodiac foray among towering icebergs or hike along the shoreline near penguin colonies. For Kayaking, there are no included opportunities, and we do not offer an optional excursion.
