We are pleased to advise that we will be offering camping as an adventure option on all departures aboard the Akademik Shokalskiy.

The supplement for this option is US$150 per person. Please see our Classic Antarctica Adventure itinerary for further details of the camping.

Our Explorers' Cruises combine the comfortable adventure cruises of Classic Antarctica with visits to the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) and South Georgia. They include many of the wildlife and scenic highlights of the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands as well as the best of these two wildlife-rich sub-Antarctic islands.

Depending on the itinerary, the tours embark and disembark in the ports of Ushuaia or Puerto Madryn in Argentina, or Port Stanley, in the Falkland Islands. Like Classic Antarctica, they are designed to include as much wildlife viewing as possible, but also include visits to scientific bases and allow plenty of time to enjoy the breathtaking scenery of icy waterways, glaciers, icebergs and rugged mountains.

We have a selection of departure dates to choose from and, even though it is impossible to guarantee precisely what we will see because sightings and encounters inevitably vary from trip to trip, we are confident that no-one will be disappointed. Flexibility is the key to success and the Captain and Expedition Leader continually assess daily weather conditions and wildlife opportunities to take full advantage of the almost continuous daylight in order to maximize time ashore.
