In remote regions like the Antarctic, the Arctic, and other similar destinations, our expedition cruises operate where sophisticated medical assistance from shore is limited or nonexistent. While the likelihood of a medical emergency is minimal, preparation is essential. In the rare event of such a situation, our ship doctors must be equipped with vital information to provide prompt assistance. It is important to note that our expedition cruises are designed for guests in reasonably good health, prioritizing their safety and that of their fellow travelers.As a tour operator and shipping company, we are proud members of both IAATO and AECO associations of Antarctica and Artic Tour Operator. This entails adhering to specific safety regulations and guidelines for travel to remote and unique areas. This commitment extends to ensuring that all travelers are willing to undergo the necessary health checks to certify their essential fitness for participation in such expeditions.Therefore, travelers are required to be evaluated as "Fit to Travel" before embarkation. This evaluation is essential for transmitting travel documents and granting permission to board the vessel.
We have partnered with VIKAND Medical Services to simplify this process, leveraging their extensive expertise in cruise-related medical services. Please note that to participate in expedition cruises to remote areas such as Antarctica and the Arctic and specially marked cruises in other areas, it is necessary to obtain "Fit for Travel" confirmation from our medical service provider VIKAND and a corresponding positive decision. Without this confirmation, participation in the advertised expedition cruises is not possible.
