Zodiac® Outings

During expedition voyages, a fleet of Zodiac craft make landing ashore in remote, seldom visited destinations safe and accessible enabling guests to get as close as possible to ice and fauna. They accommodate up to ten passengers and are easy to step on to from the marina platform at the read of the ship. Zodiac excursions are included on expeditions.
