Most memorable moment? The king penguin colony on South Georgia Island and the albatross and rockhopper penguins on one of the Falklands Islands. The naturalists’ enthusiasm, knowledge and willingness to share their knowledge exceeded expectations.

Patricia Coughlan - USA

10/10 – Too many to pick just one most memorable moment. Many wildlife encounters with whales were up there.

There are so many highlights, impossible to find just one – from the beauty and incredible shades of white and blue of the icebergs and the 'fizzing' sound as the smaller 'bergy bits' melt, to the constant wildlife around the ship, e.g. birds, whales, dolphins, penguins everywhere we went, albatrosses following the ship, the black browed albatross colony [with chicks] on Falkland islands, sailing alongside the huge A23 iceberg, the impressive specialist knowledge of the expedition team, the friendliness of the onboard hotel crew, the skill and amenability of the captain as he maneouvered the ship in places where bigger ships can't go.

The expeditions was the best thing I have ever done!!

So many once in a life-time moments. I loved the wildlife encounters: tens of thousands of penguins on the beach; interactions of penguins and fur seal pups. Amazing to watch a leopard seal hunt and catch a penguin. Who knew that icebergs could be so amazing and fascinating?

The trip delivered everything we expected and more. Amazing wildlife, scenery, and the ship Ocean Victory had an excellent staff that took care of all our needs. The shore excursions were mind-blowing. Even better than my expectations, which were very high. The expedition team worked really hard to provide once in a lifetime experiences while keeping us safe in an environment which can be very dangerous.

We saw seven different penguin species up close and personal. Five different seal species with amazing encounters with the apex predator "leopard seal". Watching a leopard seal hunt and catch a penguin was nature at its rawest and finest. We saw the complete circle of life from fur seal pups to the demise of a poor gentoo penguin. There were times when the water was boiling with fur seal pups frolicking in the waves.

One of my aims was to walk with king penguins and to see them in huge crowds. I did this. And to see king penguins on the same ground as sheep was just extraordinary. That moment in the Falklands is indeed memorable.

10+++++! It was just stunning from start to finish. I had been to the Antarctic Peninsula in 2018 so knew about the peace, space, clear air, vastness and the gentoos. Being there again was truly special. Spending 18 days looking out at wonderful wildlife, vast areas of nothing except sea and icebergs, listening to informative lectures and being without TV/internet/phones was bliss.

Having time to stand and watch animal behaviour was special too. We were very fortunate to see all the penguin species (except emperors of course). Seals we saw: leopard, Weddell, crabeater, elephant & bays full of fur seal pups. Whales were often spotted: humpbacks, fin, sei and one minke, I think. Too many bird species to list but getting close to an albatross chick trying to stretch its wings was special and I saw a caracara with a dead penguin in its beak. Yes it lived up to, and exceeded, expectations.

Just do it! Be prepared to be amazed, stunned even by the whole experience but also not to be disappointed when nature doesn't oblige. Some passengers appear to expect everything to go to a schedule, and are not prepared to get cold and wet.
