ACTIVE ANTARCTICA: NOVEMBER 2027
We’ve been offering "Active Galapagos" trips for a very long time. “Why not offer an Active Antarctica trip?” we asked ourselves, since our reputation is based in part on providing our guests with trips that have them "out and about" a bit more than the typical trip.
We surveyed what was being offered by different Antarctica ship operators. Based on our in-house experience / knowledge of the industry, we settled on this particular trip.
While a typical Antarctica cruise will offer a few activities at extra cost (usually kayaking), this "Active Antarctica" trip gives you the option not only to kayak, but also to camp, snowshoe and snorkel. Of course, you'll also have the opportunity to go on shore excursions and to explore by zodiac. All activities are included - there is no extra cost.
DATES: 13-26 November 2027 (starts and ends in Ushuaia, Argentina)
PRICE: From US$15,679 / person, shared (very comfortable stateroom with private balcony).
Travelling solo? We can help - contact us.
TRIP WEBINAR: Thursday, 30th July. 4:30-5:30PM (Pacific time) // 7:30 - 8:30 (Eastern time)
