ARE ANTARCTICA SHORE EXCURSIONS LIMITED IN SIZE?

quark-camping-antarcticaQ – Three days ago I placed a call to an outfit called Quark Expeditions about a sailing to Antarctica. They have 10-12 day programs on an older expedition vessel operating through March. The salesperson I spoke with said that only a limited number of visitors can go ashore in zodiacs at any one time so it is always best to go on a ship with fewer than 200 guests. True or False? BTW – Great info.

A – True but the larger ships manage that particular issue quite well so we would not suggest making a decision on that basis.
