Rent these telescopic, lightweight trekking staffs for your Antarctica expedition as soon as possible to make sure they are secured and set aside for your use for your upcoming expedition. They will be delivered to your Oceanwide vessel and placed in your stateroom along with the rest of your luggage. There will be an announcement made for a "size exchange party" at reception shortly after you board the ship. Should you need to make an exchange, please make any size exchanges with our team at that time.
At the end of the voyage, you'll be instructed to return your rental gear in a secure place onboard.
