We wer both very pleased with the itinerary and the help we received from your Auckland office N.Z. with answering any questions we had However we have a couple of suggestions. 1 Emphasize more on the fact that the itinerary is very weather dependent as we were meant to go to south Georgia but the weather for landing wasn't good enough to land.. 1 The other thing is to tell people that if they have to fly anywhere in Argentina [we had to fly from Port Madryn back to Ushuaia ] the weight limit on the plane is 15kgs. and 8kgs carry on.If on an international flight direct to a destination you may get away with more.

Different to what I expected, but really great. The various landing sights were different and quite interesting.

Antarctica was just beautiful, imposing and impressive landscapes constantly changing,but peaceful and serene at the same time. It is a place of its own where we were privileged to get a glimpse of its magnitude and a sense of its timelessness. Everything about the cruise went so smoothly, wonderful expedition crew, friendly and attentive staff, delighted to say that both crossings of the Drake Passage were fine, food very good, accommodation also very good. We particularly enjoyed cruising in the zodiacs beside minky and humpback whales and playful leopard seals. Plenty of time to spend on land with the penguins, more seals and at some of the bases. The trip was really faultless and a credit to everyone who made the logistics seem natural. I will remember our 'wonderful good morning' wake up calls. It was a very special experience.

the trip turned out to be just as it was sold to us...the ship was very sea worthy and the captain gave confident.Food was excellent.The daily debrief worked well.Having the mud room was definitely an advantage..all wet gear could be left there.The staff in charge of the zodiac trips were professional and knowledgable and really went out of their way to ensure we got to see and experience everything the antartic had to offer.this is not a cheap holiday,it is an expensive experience but you really do get what you pay for!

The crew, boat and experience exceeded all expectations, I was blown away by how enthusiastic the team was, and kayaking next to humpback whales was a life highlight!
