Kayaking

Glide through the serene waters and witness the majestic elegance of icebergs, observe a diverse array of birds and seals, and perhaps catch a glimpse of whales in their natural habitat. This experience is guided by seasoned kayak experts who prioritize your safety throughout each journey.

Engage your body, mind, and heart in an unforgettable adventure, led by experienced Kayak Masters. Kayaking activities are available on both Arctic and Antarctic voyages.

While kayaking is feasible in most locations during Antarctic excursions, the timing and locations are subject to weather, sea, and ice conditions, ensuring your safety and enhancing your overall experience.

To participate in this activity, previous kayaking experience is required, and attendees must attend a mandatory safety briefing conducted by the Kayak Master.

Kayaking is an option on all ships and trips, contingent on favorable conditions. On Antarctica-based trips, there are generally 2-4 outings per voyage, with fewer on Arctic-based trips. In case of more sign-ups than available spaces, an onboard lottery system is utilized to select participants.

Please note that kayaking is not available on South American, Mid-Atlantic, and most European voyages.

Price: Kayaking is offered on all ships and all trips, excluding South American, Mid-Atlantic, and Scotland voyages.

Booking: Kayaking can be booked on board during your stay.

Experience Level: Previous kayaking experience is necessary.

Weather Conditions: The expedition leader will make decisions based on weather, sea, and ice conditions to ensure your safety and enhance your overall experience. Camping activities will be facilitated to the best extent possible.

Dear Bobby, ​We're back from our St. Petersburg tour and wanted to write and say how lovely our time in Russia was. I think we chose one of the most exciting tours you offer, as the train ride from Helsinki felt really special and the guide treated us so well. Our group was small, so it was really nice getting to know the others we were traveling with and sharing in all the new experiences we had. I never thought I'd get to see St. Isaac's Cathedral up close, or visit beautiful historical ​buildings like the Hermitage. Wow - just lovely. The Amber Room was beyond beautiful and seeing the Nevsky Prospect was also incredible. Thanks again for making this trip possible. Our trip to Russia wouldn't have been the same without you!
