“We thoroughly enjoyed the trip to the Sub-Antarctic as well as the trip to Antarctica. Antarctica was even better in reality than what you see in photo's or videos.
The Sub-antarctic was quite different to Antarctica but wellworth the journey.”

“Overall a great trip. One of the reasons I chose this tour was because there were only 88 tourists on board and therefore we did not have to wait in line for hours during the daily excursions. The boat itself was a good size, had a great common area, the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms and toilets were clean and a good size (even had hot water).
The staff were all super friendly, helpful, informative and approachable. They worked around the clock studying weather patterns and planning activities for the upcoming days. They also recorded information daily which was given to us in a neat little package at the end of the trip. The meals were so much better than I expected. Buffet breakfast and generally a 3 course lunch and dinner. Great variety of food and very tasty. I never went hungry on board and looked forward to every meal. Also, the daily lectures and breifings were very informative and helped pass the time when the boat was moving locations.
The zodiac landings and cruises were amazing as you would expect. Staff made sure everything was safe prior to getting into the zodiacs for the excursions. However, on our final day the weather turned bad so we were unable to do any activities that day, but that is nobody's fault. We were fortunate enough to do 5 landings and 2 zodiac cruises over the course of the tour.
Overall I had a great experience on the MV Ushuaia and so did everyone else on board I spoke with. I would highly recommend this tour and company. A once in a lifetime experience made even better by the tour company and equipment.”
