We have great option which is this trip below starting in Punta Arenas and ending in Ushuaia: Antarctic Express: Fly South, Sail North March 13-22, 2026 (10 days).

      Victoria

      Traveler•Written October 2024

      Yes, i am still in the process of searching for a good last minute deal for January 2025. Sharing a cabin is okay. Ideally, the Antarctica cruise should be somewhere between 4000-6000USD.

    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperator•Written October 2024

      We still have spaces on our January 2025 voyages, however, twin-shared cabins start at USD $13,001 per person (that's on sale) and up. Antarctic Explorer: Jan 22 - Feb 01, 2025 (11 days). For the same itinerary on this TourRadar Dashboard (Antarctic Express: Fly the Drake), the twin-share cabins start at USD $15,339 per person (December 2025 voyage). We don't have any cabins within $4-6000 USD per person.

    Scott

    Asked on October 7th, 2023

    do we get to keep the yellow jacket? do you do the polar plunge on your trip? Is there a single traveler supplement? I'm cool sharing a room and have done it before as a solo traveler.

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    Tour Details
    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperator•Written October 2023

      Yes, you will receive an official Expedition parka to keep! The included adventure options are Walking/Hiking, Polar Plunge, and Zodiac Cruising and the optional activities are Paddling Excursion and Sea Kayaking for an additional cost (subject to availability). As a solo traveler you can opt for a triple or twin share, or, if you prefer your own room you can pay the single supplement for a single room.

    • S

      Scott

      Traveler•Written October 2023

      The quoted price is US$13,495.00 what sort of room is that for? I have lived on a ship in the past and the #1 thing I learned is that I get incredibly anxious in a room out without a window/porthole. Is that for a private room or would it be shared?

    Asked on November 23rd, 2022

    Are there requirements or exceptions to the COVID vaccination. The adults are vaccinated but the children 12 & 14 didn't get vaccinated due to the reaction their mother had an it was advised not to have them receive it due to severity of reaction.

    Other
    Travel Support
    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperator•Written November 2022

      For our polar tours, we will still require proof of vaccination to board. To join a Quark expedition, we ask passengers to present (i) official government proof of a primary vaccination series and an additional booster, or (ii) a primary vaccination series completed more than 14 days and less than 6 months prior to boarding, or (iii) a completed primary vaccination series and certificate of recovery within 90 days prior to embarkation. There are no exceptions to this rule.

    Andrea

    Asked on November 11th, 2022

    do you have a fly the drake that also does to the crossing the circle? I am travelling alone, so does the quoted price go up if I am going alone or can you pair me with someone?

    Flights / Transfers
    Single supplement
    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperator•Written November 2022

      For solo travelers, you have the option to sign up as a twin-share so you won't have to pay an additional Single Supplement!

      Traveler•Written November 2022

      What is the link to the Southern Expedition trip?

    • A

      Andrea

      Traveler•Written November 2022

      What do you think is more important: crossing the circle or fly/cruise? I think fly/cruise, but what is so important about crossing the circle?

    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperator•Written November 2022

      Setting foot on the 7th Continent is a polar achievement relatively few people experience in their lifetime. Even more rare is the incomparable milestone that's achieved when a traveler crosses the iconic Antarctic Circle.
