Got questions about the Antarctica cruise?
Can I join if I’m on my own?
We highly encourage you to join if you’re on your own as you’ll feel more open to connect with others who are in the same boat (pun intended).
Can I share a cabin with other participants?
We offer shared cabins with another Nomad Cruise participant, with the option of two separate beds. By sharing a cabin, not only can we welcome more people onboard, but you'll also save on your ticket and have a new friend from day one. You can either suggest someone you'd like to share with, or we’ll match you with another wonderful participant of the same gender.
Can I bring my partner and kids?
Yes, you have the option to bring your partner and children if your application is accepted.
If you'd like to bring children, it's possible, but we recommend that they be at least 8 years old. Children aged 8-15 receive a discount when sharing a cabin with two other passengers. For additional information, please email us at [email protected].
What type of people are joining the expedition?
The Nomad Cruise Antarctica expedition attracts a diverse group of digital nomads, entrepreneurs, creators, and remote professionals. They share a passion for adventure and exploration, eager to connect with like-minded people, grow their networks, and experience one of the most stunning, remote regions of the world together.
I get really seasick. Can I still join?
For most of the journey, you’ll hardly feel the ship sway. However, the Drake Passage can be choppy, so if you're prone to seasickness or it’s your first time at sea, we recommend bringing motion sickness medication. Rest assured, we have a doctor on board to assist you if needed and ensure you're comfortable throughout the expedition.

Which cruise line and ship are we going on?
Ocean Victory will be our home away from home for these 10 days, operated by Albatros Expeditions.
When should I arrive in Ushuaia?
We recommend arriving 2 days in advance (5th February) so you can already meet and connect with the other participants. If that’s too early for you, please plan to be there the latest on the 6th of February to make sure you have some buffer in case anything goes south with your itinerary. We will also share some hotel recommendations as we get closer to the trip.
What is the weather like in the Antarctic Peninsula?
During February, which is summertime, you can expect an average temperature of 1 to 2 degrees Celsius (33.8 to 35.6 degrees Fahrenheit), with some rain on occasion.
Is there Wi-Fi on board?
Wi-Fi is available throughout the ship and 10 GB of data per person is included in your ticket. However, should you need more data, it will be at your own expense. While the connection is reliable, it's still wise to plan for limited use, giving you more time to connect with fellow passengers and fully enjoy the journey.
What's a typical day like on board?
On board, each day is filled with exciting experiences, both during our Drake Passage crossings and while exploring Antarctica.
During the first and last two days, as we cross the Drake Passage, we’ll stay on board, but you definitely won’t be bored! Our expert guides—specialists in marine life and Antarctic ecology—will host engaging lectures, sharing fascinating insights into the region's unique wildlife and history.
On expedition days, the adventures really come to life! We’ll have two daily excursions, either on land or exploring by Zodiac boat, to get up close to the spectacular Antarctic landscape and wildlife. Between these outings, lectures continue, along with mastermind sessions that let you dive deeper into your interests and connect with fellow entrepreneurs.
In the evenings, enjoy themed dinners, drinks at the bar, and unwind with board games in the lounge. Each day brings a perfect mix of adventure, learning, and relaxation on board.
What currency is used on board?
The currency used aboard the ship is USD.
What type of clothing should I bring for the expedition cruise?
For Zodiac cruises to shore you’ll need a waterproof jacket and pants (minimum 15,000mm rating). Apart from that, our advice is to take warm, windproof, waterproof clothes that you can easily add or remove in layers. It’s best to take clothing made of wool, silk, and new synthetic fibers, all of which retain heat better than other materials.
We will provide you with an expedition manual, which will include a detailed packing list to make sure you are prepared with everything you’ll need.
What types of plants and animals can I see in Antarctica?
The vegetation at Antarctica consists of around 350 species of mostly lichens, mosses, and algae. Various sea birds, seals, and penguins are often seen in Antarctica such as the Emperor Penguin, Adelie Penguin, Orcas, Humpback whales, Weddell Seals and Leopard seals.
What happens after arrival?
In general we can encourage you to stick around in the area for a few weeks after the expedition. This gives you an excellent opportunity to build deeper connections and brainstorm potential business collaborations with those you met on board.
