FAQ
How much time do we spend on shore?
- That is hard to say. It depends on the weather and constraints of time and distance. Depending on the voyage, you may spend several days aboard the ship, followed by a series of landings, each several hours long. On some cruises, you land two or three times every day. During our time at the high latitudes, we will have almost continuous daylight, which means we may schedule excursions before breakfast, after dinner, or in the middle of the night. Often the light for photography is best at these times. We would like to show you as much as possible, but we also want to leave it up to you to skip an excursion.
Are there age restrictions for the voyages?
- Children must be at least three years old to sail with us, however we advise against travelling with children under 8 years old. We do not have an upper age restriction, but all passengers must be mentally and physically capable of making the voyage.
What is the currency used aboard the ship?
- The currency used on all vessels is the Euro, but you can also pay with USD.
Do I have to make a payment at the same time that I make a reservation?
- When you make a confirmed reservation, we require a 40% deposit. But if the reservation is made within two months prior to departure, the full price of the voyage is due at the time of booking.
What Wildlife Can Be Seen in the Antarctic Circle?
- The exact area of the Antarctic Circle that you visit will directly impact the type of wildlife that you might encounter. During a cruise to the Antarctic Circle, it is possible that you will see a variety of penguin species, along with whales, seals and seabirds.
What is the Average Temperature and Weather of the Antarctic Circle?
- Due to the range of the Antarctic Circle, the average weather conditions can vary greatly. However, most expedition cruises that go near the Antarctic Circle stop at Detaille Island. This area can be warmer than many travelers would imagine. For example, in October, the temperature usually ranges from -7 to 0 degrees Celsius (19.4 to 32 degrees Fahrenheit). Of course, the Antarctic Circle can also be extremely frigid, depending on the time of year.
When was the Hondius built?
- The Hondius was built in Croatia in 2018 and delivered in 2019.
How many people can travel on board the Hondius?
- The number of passengers is limited to 174 on the Hondius. Furthermore the vessel is manned by 24 highly experienced international nautical crew, 32-34 international hotel crew, 13 expedition staff (1 expedition leader, 2 assistant expedition leaders and 10 guides/lecturers) and 1 doctor.
What is the average visibility during polar diving?
This varies with weather, plankton blooms, and proximity of glaciers, making each site's visibility highly variable and impossible to predict in advance.
Why do I need two regulators during polar diving?
We dive with two separate outlets (DIN and Yoke connection) in case of a free flow (freezing) of one of your regulators. You will then have a second regulator as a backup.
