Our 5-star expedition ships combine elegant Scandinavian design with the latest cruising technology. They feature a PC5 ice-strengthened hull and extra-large stabilizers, ensuring a smooth journey for all passengers.
Not everyone experiences motion sickness, but if you know you are prone to it or are unsure, we recommend visiting your doctor for advice on the best preventative medicine for you (which you will need to take before boarding). A knowledgeable pharmacist can also offer guidance over the counter but check for any conflicts with existing medication. Regular cruisers use various methods, including tablets, patches, and PSI/acupressure bands, but effectiveness can vary from person to person. If you require medical assistance onboard, our doctor can provide advice.
Remember that the Drake Passage can be rough for our Antarctica voyages. Our itineraries are developed to give Captains flexibility in choosing the best weather window for the crossing.However You may be lucky but if you do become unwell, remember: it is important to keep hydrated and to eat little, and often (dry toast, biscuits or crackers are good). Please don't look at the waves or other moving objects. Don’t use electronic devices, watch the TV or attempt to read. And avoid alcohol, and fatty or spicy foods.
