PRE-DEPARTURE PACKET: Please find attached the Expedition Manual for your Polar Adventure. You'll find the activity-specific manuals attached to the activity description.
RUBBER BOOTS On Plancius, Ortelius and Hondius, all passengers are entitled to a free pair of sturdy rubber boots that will keep your feet dry, warm, and comfortable during landings. Sizes need to be pre-ordered with the Oceanwide reservation department at least eight weeks prior to departure. A voucher will be sent with your travel documents about four weeks before departure. Please make sure to order your boots early! Requesting equipment without a pre-order and voucher is not possible when boarding the vessel. Boots need to be returned to the expedition team at the end of the voyage.
GEAR RENTAL: Understanding that not all travelers to the Antarctic will have, or need, the appropriate polar gear back home, Antarctic cruise passengers embarking and disembarking in Ushuaia can now rent polar-protective gear including waterproof jackets, pants, backpacks, Gore-Tex mittens, trekking poles, and complete packages.
Passengers can place orders for pick up at the luggage meeting place at ‘’Avenida Maipu 1210’’ on the day of embarkation. When passengers arrive at the meeting place to drop their luggage, they can find their rental gear parcel and try it on to make sure they fit. Size exchanges will be available ‘’on the spot’’ if necessary. The rental gear will then be loaded onboard the ship with the regular luggage. At the end of the voyage, passengers place their rental gear in a special luggage truck as they disembark the ship and the truck will return the gear to the rental office.
