POSEIDON'S NOTABLE MILESTONES

In 2019 we are celebrating our 20th anniversary as a leader and innovator in polar expedition cruising. From our beginnings in a single office operating trips to the North Pole, we have expanded to seven offices on four continents offering cruises across the Arctic and Antarctica. We have grown in many ways over the past two decades. But one thing has always been the same: our singular focus on small-ship expedition cruising in the Polar Regions.

Delicious, contemporary, international

cuisine is freshly prepared in the Restaurant

guests on board.

EDUTAINMENTLectures by our team of multilingual experts,

as well as briefings and recaps, movies

SE A K AYAK CLUB

As part of Poseidon's Sea Kayak Club, your travelers can experience the thrill of paddling in polar waters as part of a small, expertly guided group. Kayaking is offered on selected voyages in both the Arctic and Antarctica, with the number of participants on each Arctic cruise limited to just 8, and on each Antarctic cruise to just 16. The number of kayaking sessions per cruise also varies and depends on the local weather conditions, but is usually three or four outings per cruise. We provide detailed guidelines before the voyage starts and guidance by an experienced kayak master during the cruise. We have all the necessary equipment on board (including the paddling suits). Previous experience in sea kayaks is required. The minimum age for this activity is 16 years old. All participants get kayaking certificates by the end of the cruise. Contact us for additional information.

ANTARCTICA CAMPING Camping in Antarctica provides a great opportunity to experience the polar environment in a unique, memorable way. This optional activity is limited to just 40 guests per voyage, and is available only for our Classic Antarctica departures. No previous experience is required. The group is accompanied by the camping master and several camping guides. We welcome everyone who is at least 12 years of age. Children who are between 12 and 18 years of age must be accompanied and supervised by their parents. We provide all of the necessary equipment – sleeping bags, a freshly laundered cotton sleeping bag liner, as well as a full-length insulating foam sleeping pad and single-person bivy sack. This activity totally depends on local weather conditions. All participants get camping certificates at the end of the cruise. Contact us for more information.

Itinerary. The itineraries published on the Operator’s website and in any other sources serve as examples only. Real itineraries of any expedition cruise (including all scheduled landings and excursions) in Polar Regions are heavily dependent on weather and ice conditions. Occasionally conditions and/or safety concerns require itinerary changes. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will accordingly make every effort to find the best alternative to the original itinerary while keeping passengers informed and updated. It is understood that such decisions will be made in the interests of all passengers aboard and with regard to the safety of the vessel. Itinerary changes are not subject to passenger approval/consent and in the event of such a change no refunds or price adjustments are possible. Placement of a booking with Operator amounts to an acknowledgement that itinerary changes are possible.

Alcohol. Alcohol beverages are available for sale in the on-board bar. Operator reserves the right to refuse alcohol to anyone deemed to be intoxicated.
