How about Antarctica on an expedition cruise?
Antarctica is an incredible destination with the power to transform those who are fortunate enough to experience it.
You'll take daily excursions to explore the continent, including landings on the shore and zodiac cruises. Landings might take you to a penguin rookery or historic site, while zodiac cruises are for wildlife spotting and photography.
You can participate in optional activities like kayaking and camping. Some cruises also offer a "Polar Plunge."
The expedition team will give lectures about the Antarctic, including wildlife, icebergs, glaciers, and the discovery of Antarctica.
| |
|
You can choose to cruise to Antarctica on a small expedition ship or a larger vessel. The type of ship you choose will affect your itinerary, on-board options, and activities.
The more personalized an expedition is, the more enriching the experience will be.
Let me help you plan your perfect expedition to the 7th continent.

After all, your bucket list can be just a list, OR you can start to check some off of your list! Don't put it off until you "have time."

Preparing for your cruise
| |
Now that you've deposited your cruise, what's the next step?
You will want to login to the top of the Amawaterways page under "Your Cruise" to fill out your emergency contacts and your health questionaire.
Once that is done, you can just plan what you will pack and sit back and get excited.
At around 60 days from your trip, you'll want to download the MyAma app and login with your booking ID. Here you'll get to choose your excursions. This is where it gets exciting! But don't fret, if you change your mind about which excursions, you'll be able to do that right up until you walk on the ship. Your cruise manager will help you with that.
Around 30 days out form your trip, your cruise documents will be ready, and accessible on the app as well. Here you'll get all the details, of where the ship will be, where to find an Ama rep at the airport etc. Read through these thoroughly!
Once your exiciting day comes that you finally get to your starting destination, that's where the magic happens. Make sure when you board the ship to make your reservations for the Chef's Table. Did you know you can borrow a curling iron at the Reservatios desk? You sure can!
And did you know that you can board the ship as early as 9 am? You can, although your room may not be ready until 3 pm. You can have a snack and a drink and meet your fellow cruisers.
I hope you have an upcoming river cruise to get excited about. If not, contact me and we can find you your perfect itinerary!
Happy Sailing!!
