      The group size says it is a maximum of 200 people. Do you require 200 people to operate this departure or is it a general number for the capacity of the ship?

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten February 2024

      Single occupancy options: Cat 1 Single Interior – we only have 5 rooms left on this departure for $13,635 (sale price). We also have our Category 4a single porthole which is $17,235 (sale price) and we have 10 spots left for that one. The boat doesn't need to be full to run, it would run even with 50 people!

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten February 2024

      Cancellation by you: 95 days or more before departure we will retain your deposit; fewer than 95 days before departure the cancellation fee is 100% of monies paid. We HIGHLY recommend you take out trip cancellation insurance, along with the mandatory medical insurance.
