The Ocean Endeavour has you covered on exhilarating adventures as well. Get ready to go cross-country skiing, kayaking, mountaineering, stand-up paddleboarding and camping. And for certain expeditions, you can even capture some of your unforgettable moments on camera!
4. Hans Hansson
If you’re all about maximizing your exploration time and having the richest experience possible, you’ll love the Hans Hansson, a small, intimate ship that carries just 12 passengers, allowing you to bond with your crew and fellow passengers during your adventures.
Thanks to the vessel’s small size, you will have the most adventure and on-land exploration time at landing sites in the Falklands and Antarctica, plus daily activities are flexible and customized to your interests. Your Hans Hansson trip will bring you to places larger vessels can’t reach, since the ship goes everywhere a Zodiac can.
