One of the optional activities we could do on this cruise was sea kayaking. This was a very popular activity as there were only spots available on Christmas Day when we booked the trip. We had no idea where we'd be when it was time for our kayaking adventure, or if it would happen. One of the great things about this expedition cruise is that the specific itinerary isn't known until the day before. This allows for maximum flexibility in terms of planning for weather, waves, and access. It wouldn't be helpful to say we're going to this place on this day and then find out it was iced in and not accessible. The Seabourn team did a fantastic job of planning and adapting, so we were able to have adventures every day and not be stuck on the ship.
I was hoping that we'd be kayaking around icebergs or penguins and capturing some of the iconic Antarctic scenery. That wasn't available to us at Port Foster and Deception Island. However, when can you kayak in an active volcano on Christmas Day? We did! I captured this image from our kayak with the GoPro camera I was wearing to record our adventure.
