How can we get inexpensive insurance like XCover?

For matters related to Xcover, we recommend you contact them directly, as they are our third-party provider and handle services outside of TourRadar's scope. They will be best equipped to provide the assistance you need.

Can individuals pay separately when reserving a 3 person cabin and if possible how do you do that?

We can certainly process payments manually over the phone, allowing us to split the amount across multiple credit cards if needed.

How old is the ship doing this trip to Antarctica. Is it an old ship that has had a makeover/update

The Expedition ship was built in 1976 and remodeled in 2017.

Is it accepted Xcover travel insurance policy pinto 50k emergency travel insurance?

Insurance requirements are as follows: As with all G Adventures tours, it is mandatory for all of our travellers to have Emergency Medical Travel Insurance that will cover the dates of the tour. This emergency evacuation benefit, and includes repatriation to your home country. The medical expenses, evacuation and repatriation benefits must, when combined together, cover for at least 200,000.00 USD per traveller.

More interested in February sailing. What dates and prices are available. Also, How many days are spent in the Antartic area? The itinerary listed does not specify.

This trip is only once a year usually in October.

Would like to know if there is a singles supplement on this tour

On our Antarctic Expeditions, there is no mandatory single supplement. We have different room types (twin, double, triple, quad), and if your party cannot fully fill a room you would be paired with other travelers of the same sex.

how many excursions are planned on the Falkland Islands and South Georgia for the 22 days, Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica cruise?

We try to get you out on zodiac landings daily (once or twice) but it's all dependent on the weather. Meet hardy locals and see unique wildlife in the Falkland Islands, explore abandoned whaling stations and visit Shackleton's grave, walk quietly amongst king penguins and watch them surf onto the beach, learn about the environment and ecology from industry experts, spot whales and seals while cruising through icebergs on Zodiacs.

Does the M/S Expedition sail this tour in December/January 2024?. If so..... What is the price for single accommodation on board.

This trip does not run that time of year but you can see some other options. Single occupancy will depend on departure date.

Amazing. It had been ten years since my last trip on MS Expedition with this company. It is evenbetter now. Superb staff at every level. The itinerary was always subject to the weather but there was always a plan ‘b’ or even ‘c’. Following in the footsteps of Shacleton, Tom Crean etc was brilliant made even better by the experts on board and in the field. The whole trip could not be faulted and for this full credit to all the staff.Show more
