Onboard Communication & Facilities
Where accessible, internet access is available for an extra charge; keep in mind, we will be cruising in a very remote region of the world.
The official language onboard is English. If you form part of a large group and require communication in your own language, please let us know and we may be able to make special arrangements to accommodate your needs; the expedition team and crew are often a wonderful mix of nationalities.
