Information for Passengers Español English

Children on board the USHUAIA The parents are responsible for their children at all times, on land and on board. Our staff is not responsible for babysitting etc., and they must stay with the groups at all times and follow the instructions and directions of the Expedition Leader and his staff. Passengers must make sure that the children are supervised at all times and the children are not allowed to run on board or on deck. Small children should be kept in a harness while on deck and must be accompanied by a parent. Children must wear the special life vests when boarding the zodiacs. However, decisions if children may disembark or not will be taken by the Captain for each landing according to the prevailing landing conditions. Safety is first and foremost. On board our vessel we do not have any child facilities. We do not provide toys, coloring books etc., therefore parents are kindly requested to bring their own to entertain their children. We regret not to be able to provide any medication suitable for children on board the USHUAIA, the parents must bring adequate medication, especially for seasickness. Should a situation arise that the parents and/or children need to be evacuated to a hospital; there is no hospital in Antarctica and evacuation to the continent may take several days or may not always be possible. The small infirmary on board is merely suitable for first aid treatment. Passengers must have an appropriate insurance including evacuation and repatriation coverage. All costs for any evacuation are for the passengers account. Unfortunately we cannot offer any children's discount.
