Mobility 
Participating in the offered activities on this itinerary will require good mobility, generally good health, and the ability to care for oneself in all activities of daily living. Guests should be capable of negotiating uneven and slippery terrain ashore including rocks, snow and ice.

At ports of call, you will embark and disembark the ship either by using a gangway or, in ports where the ship anchors in the harbour, by small rubber landing crafts (Zodiacs). In ports where Zodiacs are used guests who participate in excursions, and landings and wish to visit tender ports of call must be able to negotiate 10-12 steep internal stairs and get in and out of small rubber landing crafts (Zodiacs) with limited assistance.

Packing List
As Antarctica is one of the most remote, rarely visited, parts of the world, knowing what to pack for your voyage isn’t always easy. So, in case you’re unsure what clothes to pack for a cruise to Antarctica, below is a simple cruise outfit planner.

Plan ahead
It’s best to pack thoughtfully for Antarctica’s climate. Unless you travel there frequently, there’s no reason you’d know what clothes to bring on a cruise to Antarctica. Everyone experiences the cold (and warmth) differently, but it pays to bear in mind daily temperatures in the Antarctic Peninsula can range from well below freezing to the upper 40°F/4°C. Plus, windchill can make things feel much colder, especially as you’ll be spending a lot of your time outdoors in places that are subject to strong winds.

Stay warm
When you’re thinking about what clothes to take on a cruise, it’s worth remembering that the outside temperature in Antarctica can feel much colder than the reading on a thermometer. So it's recommended you wrap up extra warm. Layering is a great way to do this. Wearing several lightweight, loose-fitting layers is better than opting for one heavier layer. This is because the different layers allow for pockets of air between each item of clothing, which provides extra insulation, and it means you can remove or add layers when your body temperature changes.

Choosing clothes
A lot of the action on an expedition cruise happens outside, so dress codes are very relaxed on these voyages. Pack clothes that are comfortable and easy to wash. And it pays to consider how you’re going to pack everything. For instance, do you know how to pack a cocktail dress in a suitcase? Is a cocktail dress something you’ll definitely need? Some guests find it helpful to choose their clothes, then go back and edit their choices after an hour or so.

What to pack
For the polar regions you’ll need casual trousers, jeans, long-sleeved t-shirts and a thin jumper or bodywarmer. You’ll be cosy and comfortable when you’re inside the ship, but it’s always good to have warm clothes handy for when something out on deck takes your interest. Waterproof trousers, to wear over your pants or thermal underwear, are essential for Zodiac trips and land excursions. You’ll need to bring a warm, windproof hat that covers your head and ears, and a collar scarf to protect your neck and chin from the elements. Polarised sunglasses will help reduce the glare from the snow and ice, protect your eyes from UV rays, and help you see the details of the Antarctic scenery better. It’s also worth packing mittens, ski gloves and insulated glove liners to keep your hands warm and dry. Also, you might want to pack swimming and fitness gear if you plan to visit the spa, pool or fitness centre. Evenings are informal, but maybe pack a couple of casual shirts, and skirts or dresses for dinner, and something stylish for special occasions, such as cocktails with the Captain. When it comes to footwear, keep it light and easy to pack. Scenic wil provide a pair of rubber Muck boots for Zodiac excursions and onshore landings, so a pair of lightweight trainers will be fine. Steer clear of bringing high-heels, especially stilettos, as the seas can get rough at times, and you’ll need to keep your balance.

Expedition extras
When you travel to the polar regions, a Scenic expedition parka will be waiting for you in your stateroom on the first day of the cruise. This is yours to keep after your voyage.

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide: 
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group. 

Tour Leader: 
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined. 

Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured. 

CLIMATE & AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
South Island, New Zealand 
In January and February, Christchurch and Timaru—located on New Zealand’s South Island—experience warm, pleasant summer weather. Daytime temperatures typically range between 22°C and 26°C, with occasional peaks above 30°C during hot spells. Nights are mild, generally dropping to around 12°C to 15°C. These months are among the sunniest of the year, with long daylight hours and relatively low humidity, making them ideal for outdoor activities.

Antarctica 
In January and February, Antarctica experiences its summer season—the warmest and most accessible time of year for exploration. Temperatures along the Antarctic Peninsula typically range from -2°C to 6°C, though wind chill can make it feel colder. These months offer the most stable weather, with longer daylight hours (up to 20+ hours of light) and relatively calm seas, making conditions ideal for cruising and landings. Wildlife activity is at its peak: penguin chicks are hatching and growing, seals are often seen basking on ice floes, and whale sightings—particularly humpbacks—become increasingly common in February. While snow and ice remain, coastal areas may have exposed rock and muddy patches as the summer sun softens the landscape.
