Sailing in Antarctica

Normally a minimum of 21 days in length for Antarctica.

The short sailing window is December to March. Each month has its own particular characteristics.

Reasonably fit and in good health. A clean bill of health from your doctor is required before being accepted on to joining a voyage.

A good understanding of the logistics of sailing and fair sea legs would be a distinct advantage.

The weather is everything and will have a direct and ever present influence on the voyages routing and progress. The master of the vessel reserves the right to alter itineraries without notice due to weather if necessary. Booking a flexible return flight is recommended, in case of delay, if you are planning on flying directly home after the voyage.
