OrteliusOverall, how was your trip?
The highlight was the grandeur of the landscape. The people were mixed - a lot of lovely ones and quite a few rowdy types. The organisation of the crew every day to get everyone on shore was exceptional - Kayaking and snow shoeing were brilliant.

Yes, it was magnificent.

You chose a/an Antarctic Basecamp Adventure experience. How was that experience?
The activities were great. We were disappointed that we could not camp but it was snowing heavily on our night. We were advised every day very clearly what the daily activities would be and the cabin announcements were helpful. One thing which was a bit of a bore was filling in time in Ushuaia between bringing the luggage to the storage place and then having to wait until 4pm to board. We understand that the ship's turnaround is very short and that could not be changed but the town is not very scintillating without going out for excursions which need a full day really.
How were your experiences on the zodiac excursions and shore landings?
The ice bergs and general landscape were overwhelming. We loved kayaking and snowshoeing. The expedition staff were fantastic
