“The crew and expedition team are great, especially Stephi (leader), Mariano, Claudia, Nico, Ellie, Jenny, Russell, Alberto, and Hannah R. They are like 40, so I'm sorry if I'm forgetting someone. Also, Vincent, Milos, and David from the restaurant. I don't remember the name of the man who serviced my room, but he was wonderful too. Great organization and communication skills. I feel the vessel itself and the rooms need a renovation or better maintenance. I would also improve some details in service, but overall an amazing experience.”

“We took a group of 23 women to Antarctica with Chimu on board the Ocean Endeavour. We had the most amazing adventure and cannot wait to book another trip.”

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought needs improving I was told our 14 year old couldn’t do certain activities on the boat which lead to a lot of stress as one of us would have to stay behind on the ship with him and miss out. As it turned he was allowed to do all the activities ie kayaking, camping on the ice. So the stress and emails and changing decisions were unnecessary. Next time I will book directly with the parent company Intrepid so I get accurate information. The cruise on Ocean Endeavour was absolutely fantastic!!

Please share your thoughts on any specific tours or hotels that you would recommend or would not recommend? All the hotel / resort accomodations throughout Chile and Argentina were of high standard with excellent staff. In Buenos Aires, I would consider using a hotel in the new harbour area of the city in stead of Recoleta area of the city as it would make many more of the sites accessible when walking.

We are always looking at ways to improve our sustainability efforts. Can you tell us about any initiatives you saw at the accommodations you stayed at to conserve energy or reduce waste? Please specify the town/city and hotel name where you observed these Accomodation encouraged the re-use of linen. water fountains were also provide to re-fill bottles to reduce waste.

Were any of the activities you participated in during your trip designed to protect the environment? If so, please share details about your experience. Strict bio-security procedures aboard the ship prior to boarding zodiacs and again upon return to the ship to protect the Antarctic continent and wildlife from any cross contamination risk.

“The entire trip aboard the MS Expedition exceeded my expectations. The entire crew from housekeeping to the Captain provided outstanding care and service at all times. Our trip, 'Quest for the Antarctic Circle' was filled with stunning scenery and wildlife as well as the opportunity to visit old Antarctic scientific bases.”
