“An Antarctic expedition cruise by its very nature is unpredictable, as weather and seas play a major part in what is possible. January 2018's Spirit of Shackleton cruise was relative free of weather/seas problems, and was most enjoyable. Being so close to an albatross rookery in the Falklands, and so many king penguins and fur seals on South Georgia was extraordinary.”
“Great organization. all went smoothly and to plan. Fantastic encounters with animals. Amazing scenery.Great team on the ship, happy, courteous and knowledgeable. Fabulous trip.”
“Fabulous boat trip following in Shackleton’s wake with a fascinating itinerary, professional staff and informative, friendly expedition guides. We could not fault this amazing adventure.”
“Did the Spirit Of Shackleton cruise - awe inspiring. Going that far, including the Falkland islands and South Georgia is highly recommended, as they are as stunning in their own ways as the Antarctic itself.”
“The arrangements worked flawlessly. Drivers were punctual and efficient. Our cruise - Spirit of Shackleton was excellent. Good ship. Good crew. Excellent food. Interesting talks. Well organised trips ashore. That we were blessed with good weather was a decided bonus!”
“Absolutely the best holiday I've experienced in my life. The company was G-Adventures, their vessel was the G-Explorer, only 130-odd passengers on board, the food was excellent, the crew were absolutely exceptional, and the four places we visited on the Peninsular were breathtaking!! We saw penguins and their colonies up close, saw various seals, an occasional whale breaching, and took a Polar Plunge (not mandatory) into the icy waters - with photos as proof!! If you have the Antarctic Peninsular on your bucket list, then go with G-Adventures (organised through Chimu). In my humble opinion, you won't be disappointed!”
