Craving a polar trip that will give you the utmost outdoor adventure? Then our Basecamp concept is for you, offering the widest possible range of engaging activities. These activity centered trips immerse you in the polar regions with several core outdoor activities: Kayaking, hiking, snowshoeing, mountaineering, photo workshops, even camping under the Antarctic stars are all options on these incredible cruises. No longer do you have to worry about trip packages limiting your activity options. Basecamp voyages give them all to you in the price of your berth. In essence, we use our vessel as the Basecamp from which to launch activities we only selectively offer on other voyages. This allows you to focus on a few particular areas, going deep with activities that will bring you into close contact with the surreal polar environment.
