The main briefing and lecture area is a theater-style lounge with presentations, videos, and slideshows for education and entertainment. There are booths, swivel chairs, and bar stools. Enjoy a library with literature and games, a small gym, and a medical clinic. Visit the Polar Boutique for souvenirs or relax on the observation decks to see wildlife and the water. Take advantage of the bow's multi-leveled viewing when the captain opens this sometimes-off-limits zone. Through an open bridge policy, you may witness the captain and his crew in action. Binoculars are available for viewing wildlife and landing places. A free internet provides daily schedules and expedition personnel bios.
Off the boat, various activities are available to guests, including zodiac cruising, kayaking, optional campfires, and hiking.
