In the afternoon, relax on board or venture out on other Zodiac excursions to new sites. You may choose a different focus every day, or specialize in your favorite area. Before dinner, your team of lecturers organizes a stimulating wrap-up session in the lounge, inviting questions and dialog with you regarding all the discoveries and observations of the day. Your specimens from each expedition are displayed, examined and discussed in a participative session led by your expedition leaders and experts. This becomes an eagerly awaited and lively forum, often leading the discussion of political issues surrounding the region or research in a particular field of study.
Evenings are for socializing, sharing experiences with others and unwinding.
To this end, dinner is served in a single seating, dress is casual, and your meals, prepared by European chefs are always a delicious compliment to a day of discovery. From tropical sunsets to Antarctic ice floes, this restaurant boasts unsurpassed views - as you can well imagine. These sturdy, inflatables, accommodating 12 to 14 expeditioners, were designed to be stable, safe and maneuverable, as well as being easy to board and disembark. We carefully plan for two to three Zodiac excursions a day, weather permitting. This allows for more stops and maximum time spent either exploring in the Zodiac or ashore.
