Antarctica onboard cruise activities

Other onboard activities

on the Antarctica cruise ship Minerva

There's more
to do than you
have time for

Watch a good movie - Current and classic films plus Antarctica-related documentaries are shown in the comfortable 98-seat theatre. You can also view them in your cabin, thanks to a closed-circuit TV system. And, the reception desk will lend you flicks for your cabin's DVD player.

Enjoy the changing scenery - Each hour of cruising brings into view new spectacular Antarctica Peninsula vistas. See and photograph them from the deck, cabin, and dining table.

Play bridge - The cozy Card Room has 8 tables.

Tour the bridge - Learn how the captain and his staff navigate the ship with the trained naked eye and high-tech electronics.

Pamper yourself - Drop by the beauty salon for massages, sauna, facials, manicures, pedicures and hairstyling.

Exercise - Jog or walk around the 360-degree Promenade deck. Work out in the fitness room with a treadmill, weights, exercise bike, and more. Do a few quick laps in a short open-air pool (yes, some brave souls do it on their Antarctica voyage).

Browse - Visit the onboard boutique for gifts, sundries and perfumes.

Visit the galley - Let the chef show you how the kitchen prepares your meals.

Play it safe - Back up your camera's memory card onto a CD or DVD at the Photo Shop.

Have a cigar with cognac - Pop into the Smoke Room (the only indoor space where smoking is permitted).

What's missing - This is an adventure cruise, so don't expect to find mainstream activities like bingo games and casino gambling.
