Optional activities available on various cruises to the Arctic & Antarctic
Kayaking - from $475pp US
One of the best features of Polar Region cruises is that you’re never done exploring. Even if you feel you’ve walked all over the Arctic or Antarctic, climbed every mountain, and said hello to every possible penguin, there’s still another whole world to explore – the water. Polar cruise kayaking is an amazing way to slip into the white and blue beauty of the quiet oceans around you.
What's included?
We provide the kayaks (5 single-seat and 5 double-seat Perception Horizon II and Perception Sea Yaks), the paddles, Neoprene wetsuits, splash shirts and spray covers, Neoprene booties and caps, and a life-jacket/kayak vest (Palm). You do however want to make sure you’re dressed properly for your excursion in the open Polar air, so you'll need to ensure you bring/rent the appropriate clothing.
Required experience and fitness levels vary depending on your selected voyage.

Snowshoeing - Free of charge
There is no better way to take in a new place than by exploring it on foot. With that in mind, Oceanwide Expeditions offers you the chance to explore your way inland from the Polar shorelines with a wide variety of snowshoeing expeditions built for everyone. From the casual explorer to the hard-core snowshoe-er.
What's included?
While the snowshoes are provided, you will need to ensure you bring/rent appropriate clothing for a day of hiking the fairly rugged terrain.
