Following recent reports that the price of cruising in the Antarctic is set to rise, adventure travel specialist G Adventures has announced the introduction of quad berths onboard the M/S Expedition.
 
"The quad berth cabins will be available for the 2012 Arctic and Antarctic season providing more capacity for travellers onboard; welcome news at a time when industry prices are set to rise, due to the recent introduction of new fuel regulations banning the use of heavy oil in this region," the company said in a statement.
 
G Adventures predicts that the M/S Expedition will carry a record breaking number of travellers during the 2012/2013 Arctic and Antarctic season, which will no doubt be boosted by the new BBC series, Frozen Planet, set to hit our screens at the end of October 2011. “We will be able to carry more passengers than ever before at extremely competitive rates and the long-awaited Frozen Planet series will no doubt capture the hearts of UK travellers resulting in a spike in interest to these regions,” says Michael Edwards, General Manager EMEA for G Adventures.
