Cruise & Ferry Review - Spring/Summer 2024

54 example, when we visit the Antarctic Peninsula on ‘The Epic Antarctica and South Georgia Adventure’, we offer a Zodiac cruise in Paradise Bay for guests to marvel at the icebergs and penguins nurturing their eggs. FG: Our vessels are equipped with Zodiacs, which grant us access to the remote corners of Tierra del Fuego. We’ve also integrated mobile ramps to facilitate embarkation and disembarkation directly onto the beaches, eliminating the need for docks that could disturb the natural surroundings. This eco-friendly approach aligns with our commitment to conservation and sustainability. AR: We have a fleet of 14 Zodiacs on Heritage Adventurer and two on Heritage Explorer to ensure each guest can join every excursion. Our itineraries, excursions and landings are all developed through our long-standing relationships with government agencies, conservationist programmes and remote tribes and villages. MP: Zodiac boats, kayaks, paddleboards and snorkelling gear facilitate close encounters with marine life. Expert naturalist guides lead daily excursions, highlighting the diverse ecosystems of each island in the Galapagos. Activities such as hiking volcanic terrains, snorkelling with sea lions and observing unique flora and fauna are integral aspects of the adventures we provide.
