Antarctica - Base Camp Plancius - SANT2
Introduction: Explore the unique, pristine and remote wilderness region of Antarctica, an exciting mix of dramatic landscapes, rugged mountains towering the sea, fascinating glaciers and endless ice, close wildlife encounters and the true feel of history. Our vessel, the Plancius, will stay for two or three days at specific locations giving you the chance to experience wide ranging activities: mountaineers to climb mountain ranges (soft climbing), hikers to participate in long walks, photographers to explore photo opportunities, campers to enjoy life at shore base camps, kayakers and zodiac passengers to explore near shores where the ship cannot go. For those who do not wish to become physically active there are zodiac excursions for shore programmes and land excursions.

A 20% deposit is required to secure your booking, as well as full payment at least 2 months prior to departure. Special cancellations conditions apply. Please consult Kumuka or your agent for details. Prices shown are for a twin share cabin with port hole. Prices for twin share cabins with windows, deluxe or superior twin share cabins, or quad share cabins are available on request.

Please note: All itineraries are for guidance only. Programmes may vary depending on local ice and weather conditions, the availability of landing sites and opportunities to see wildlife. The final itinerary will be determined by the Expedition Leader on board. Flexibility is paramount for expedition cruises.
