Go beneath the waves in Airbnb's yellow submarine for a 'Planet Earth' adventure

By

We all live in a yellow submarine... Well, not really, but Planet Earth producer Orla Doherty pretty much does, and she's inviting us all for a visit.

The wildly popular BBC series recently debuted its watery segment Blue Planet II, and to celebrate, the network is partnering with Airbnb to offer deep-sea adventures to wannabe Steve Zissous.


On April 4, 2018, for three days and two nights, three lucky contest winners will board the Alucia, the same oceanic exploration vessel used for the filming of Blue Planet II, and hang out with the show's producer, scientists and filmmakers for an epic journey through the waves of Cape Eleuthera and Nassau in the Bahamas. Just imagine yourself researching the health of the ocean from a real yellow submarine (the ship is equipped with two submersibles) 1,000 meters beneath the surface!

Doherty will dish on some of the most extreme adventures experienced during the filming and give you an up-close look at marine wildlife that most people only get to see on TV.

"Having spent 500 hours in the submarine and countless weeks at sea filming, the Alucia almost feels like my second home," she said in a release today. "I now feel privileged to be able to share this once-in-a-lifetime experience with promising ocean heroes and show them the wonders of life in the ocean."

For a chance to join the expedition, seafaring enthusiasts are being asked to describe their ideal deep sea adventure and what they dream of exploring beneath the waves. A panel of judges will select three winners, and each one can bring a guest.The trip will include roundtrip flights from the winner's home to Nassau, Bahamas; two nights on board the Alucia; two nights at an Airbnb home before and after; and ground transportation.


// April 4-8, 2018; to enter, go to airbnb.com/blueplanet.
