All guests must check out of their suites no later than 8am and disembark by 10am. Guests departing on evening flights will experience an extended wait at the airport.
Ocean Cruise Itineraries
We reserve the right to substitute or cancel scheduled ports of call, which, in our sole judgment and discretion, is justified for any reason, and to do so without liability for any loss whatsoever to guests as a result of said change(s).
General Health and Fitness
Many areas visited are remote and will have limited medical facilities. Guests will need to be of reasonably good health and fitness, have adequate travel insurance and a sufficient supply of any medication required.
Discovery Excursions
Discovery excursions including but not limited to helicopter, submarine, zodiac, kayaks, bikes and snorkeling are subject to regulatory approval and prevailing weather, marine and ice conditions. Discovery excursions can only be booked whilst on Your Cruise at the Excursion Centre and are subject to availability, seasonal and operational factors. Some activities require a minimum and maximum number of participants to operate. To partake in discovery excursions requires a reasonable level of mobility. Zodiac excursions require guests to embark/disembark into an inflatable raft. Whilst this is not demanding for guests in good health and who are physically fit, it may prove challenging to those with physical limitations.
Visas
When travelling abroad, you need to hold a passport valid at least six months beyond the period of intended stay, with two blank pages. Government Policy and visa regulations are subject to change at short notice. Scenic recommends that you contact the relevant consulates for the latest information on specific visa requirements of the countries visited on your journey. Guests who do not have the correct visa or other documentation necessary to enter a country may be prevented from boarding.

Internal Flights: Ushuaia
Your included on tour flight is confirmed in economy class, upgrades are not available. Guests may be accommodated either on our Charter flight or a commercial flight to/from Ushuaia. As these are domestic operated flights, services will be limited. This flight includes one checked bag of 23kg and one carry on item of 8kg, additional luggage may be purchased at the airport upon check in. Your included on tour flight will not be finalised until closer to departure and may operate into and/or out of Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) or Aeroparque Jorge Newbery Airport (AEP). As a result, some flights arrive back into Buenos Aires from midday. Onward travel is recommended by Scenic to be booked for after 9:30pm. This will minimise possible delays to your travel if flight times change with minimal notice. However please note, there may be extended wait times between your arrival and departure from Buenos Aires if travelling on the same day. Alternatively you can add a post night stay to your journey.
