Will I get seasick?

 Everyone’s reaction to the motion of the ocean is different. Once you arrive to Antarctica, you are typically in sheltered waters for the duration of your trip.

As a result, if you are going to be affected by seasickness, it will likely only be during the Drake Passage crossings.

You may have already had some experiences at sea and as a result, know what works for you in terms of remedies. 

The seasickness products available range from holistic products like ginger Gravol and wrist bands, to stronger medications prescribed by a doctor. 

The best recommendation I have for you is to consult your physician as some seasickness medications are not appropriate for people with certain conditions.

While you are onboard, if you are feeling seasick, it is always a good idea to go outside, get some fresh air and keep your eyes on the horizon. Reading and working on the computer can make it worse. Worrying and concentrating on whether you are going to be seasick also doesn’t help. 

Try to keep your mind occupied, take medication if you need to, and follow the directions of your physician and the doctor on board.
