Padmaja Sakhamuri - UK

10/10 - The trip is not complete without visiting South Georgia Island and wildlife on the island. Our most memorable moments were the pristine landscape of the continent and wildlife on South Georgia Island in their natural habitat.

Brad Amaraneni - UK

10/10 - Outstanding adventure, Antarctica is so wonderful and South Georgia was something else. We saw a lot of it in documentaries, but seeing it in real life was like standing amidst a National Geographic documentary.

Prasanth Sakhamuri - UK

I find it impossible to choose one memorable moment. All of the wildlife on South Georgia, albatross fledglings testing out their wings on West Falklands, landing at Wild Point on Elephant Island...I could go on and on and on.

Linda Smith - UK

10/10 - We loved the clockwise travel of the ship from Ushuaia to the peninsula because by the time we arrived at Antarctica we were well informed by the crew and it was great to start off with a handful of iceberg sightings and gradually getting icier. South Georgia was the highlight, as well as stopping at the South Sandwich Islands.

10/10 - Our trip was greater than I ever could have imagined. The crew is fabulous and the expedition team is mind-blowing. Then you have the captain and his crew who know how to manoeuvre the ship for a true experience of a lifetime. As for the actual places we visited, I still cannot find words to describe the amazement and awe I am still experiencing.

Where to begin - it was all so amazing!! But it would have to be the moment we landed on Gold Harbour with 50,000 king penguins. They wandered around us, curious but timid. I cried tears of joy.
