Guidelines for Responsible Travel

Protect Arctic And Antarctic Wildlife Taking or harmful interference with Arctic and Antarctic wildlife is prohibited except in accordance with a permit issued by a national authority. Do not use drones or other equipment that disturb wildlife, either at sea or on land. Do not feed, touch, or handle any wildlife, or approach or photograph them in ways that cause them to alter their behaviour. Special care is needed when animals are breeding or moulting. Do not sit, kneel, or lay down to protect the environment by minimising the risk to accidentally pick up any organic material. Do not place any equipment on the ground or snow. Make sure to clean everything that touched the ground thoroughly, like your shoes, waling poles or tripod. Do not damage plants or lichens, for example by walking, driving, or landing on extensive moss beds or lichen-covered scree slopes. Keep noise to a minimum to avoid frightening wildlife. Do not bring non-native plants by making sure all your outdoor gear is free of any organic material, to avoid the unwanted introduction of non-native plants into polar regions. Respect Protected Areas A variety of areas in the Arctic and Antarctic have been afforded special protection because of their particular ecological, scientific, historic or other value. Entry into certain areas may be prohibited except in accordance with a permit issued by an appropriate national authority. Activities in and near designated Historic Sites and Monuments and certain other areas may be subject to special restrictions. Know the locations of areas that have been afforded special protection and any restrictions regarding entry and activities that can be carried out in and near them. Observe applicable restrictions. Do not damage, remove, or destroy Historic Sites or Monuments or any artefacts associated with them. Always listen and follow the instructions by your guides. Respect Scientific Research Do not interfere with scientific research, facilities or equipment. Visiting a research station is subject for approval by the base commander and depends on their busy schedule for scientific research work. In case a permission was granted, your Expedition Team will inform you about the protocols for the visit. Do not interfere with, or remove, scientific equipment or marker posts, and do not disturb experimental study sites, field camps or supplies. Be Safe Be prepared for severe and changeable weather and ensure that your equipment and clothing meet Arctic and Antarctic standards. Remember that the Arctic and Antarctic environment is in hospitable, unpredictable, and potentially dangerous. Know your capabilities and the dangers posed by the Arctic and Antarctic environment, and act accordingly Listen to the Expedition Team and follow their advice and instructions. Keep a safe distance from all wildlife, both on land and at sea. Take note of, and act on, the advice and instructions from your leaders; do not stray from your group. Do not walk onto glaciers or large snowfields without the guidance of an Expedition Team member. Respect the no-smoking restrictions while ashore in the Polar regions, particularly around buildings, and take great care to safeguard against the danger of fire. This is a real hazard in the dry environment of the Arctic and Antarctic.

ZODIAC® Landing Craft

Silver Endeavour carries a fleet of 22 inflatable Zodiac boats, allowing you to explore places that would otherwise be inaccessible. To reach destinations where there are no piers and for islands surrounded by shallow waters, Zodiacs are the perfect solution. These rigid boats are specifically designed for nature study, and are very rugged, as well as safe, sturdy and durable. They are easy to board, whether at the ship or ashore, and are operated by highly trained crew. A Zodiac is an exceptionally buoyant rubber boat with an inflatable hull of multiple air-filled compartments, a feature that allows the Zodiac to float even should a compartment become deflated. A low centre of gravity makes Zodiacs very stable. Zodiacs are also agile, allowing them to easily come alongside Silver Endeavour, and to manoeuvre over reefs and between narrow passages. You will participate in a complete Zodiac familiarisation session upon embarkation. Please review these instructions carefully prior to your training session and throughout your Silversea Expedition. Guests will be divided into Zodiac disembarkation groups and will be disembarked in a rotating order. To avoid congestion and confusion, do not proceed to the disembarkation area until your group has been called. Silversea’s Zodiac drivers have all had extensive training and experience. They are experts in this aspect of your expedition voyage. Follow their instruction at all times when onboard. “Dry Landing” means you will disembark the Zodiac at a dock or other landing platform. “Wet Landing” means you will need to step into the water and wade to shore – wear rubber boots or reef/water shoes (for tropical voyages). You will be advised of the local weather conditions and the kind of landing dry or wet) in order to dress with the appropriate clothing and footwear. Wear waterproof outerwear — regardless of whether a wet or dry landing. Wear the safety vest provided. Wear sun protection, especially a high-factor sunscreen and dark, polarised sunglasses. Pack your non-waterproof items (camera, binoculars, personal items, etc.) in zip-seal bags, and then place in your personal backpack or complimentary Silversea Expedition backpack. Wear your backpack on your back. All other equipment should be handed to the staff/crew member at the top of the gangway before boarding the boats. This will allow your hands to be free for boarding the Zodiac. You will receive your equipment again once you are in the boat and should place it on the floor in front of you so your hands are free to hold onto the ropes. This procedure will be reversed when exiting. When embarking and disembarking the Zodiac, firmly grasp the wrist of the staff/crew member that is waiting to assist you before stepping aboard/ashore. Remain seated at all times whilst aboard, until otherwise instructed.
