What our customers think of Antarctic Explorer in Style

10/10 - Perfect organization, knowledgeable and friendly expedition team, great food.

Catherine Pierce - USA

10/10 - Every aspect of the trip was both exciting and pleasurable. Our ship was magnificent, and the crew and expedition team were top-notch. We looked forward to every opportunity for education and exploration and were never disappointed - excursions on zodiacs, paddle boards, and the helicopter exceeded expectations every time.

Jennifer Webb - Canada

We thoroughly enjoyed our expedition and would recommend the Antarctic Explorer in Style for the accommodations and experiences offered. We also felt the length of time was perfect for us to experience the variety of the arctic peninsula and wildlife, and the 4 days' Drake Passage crossing (2 and from the peninsula) were great for getting to know the ship, the crew, and learning about the history of the area.

Too many memorable moments to choose from! Humpback whales, penguins, leopard seals, and the polar plunge are highlights, but the landscape itself was magnificent. Waking up every day to new natural marvels was magical. And the helicopter ride was amazing!

The whole trip was incredible! Definitely a trip of a lifetime, Antarctica is so spectacular from the fascinating icebergs, the cutest penguins and the majestic whales! My heart skipped a little when we were kayaking and 4 humpback whales were swimming a couple of meters from us! Truly incredible!

The best expedition team! We saw a whale passing under our boat. Penguin parents were taking care of their babies. We had our wedding onshore at Antarctica!

It was all amazing - seeing the penguins and whales, the extraordinary scenery, particularly when the weather was good, and the helicopter rides on the Ultramarine all made the trip special.
