Were Swoop right to recommend Aurora Expeditions?
Yes
Tell us about Zodiac excursions
Zodiacs were a perfect way to get on land and also to explore when getting on land wasn't possible. Always felt completely safe.
Tell us about the expedition team
All expedition team members were good. Many gave wonderful descriptions on the zodiac rides. I especially appreciated Renato with his photography. John gave very interesting history talks, making it come alive with his enthusiasm.
Tell us about the Greg Mortimer
Absolutely would recommend this ship. Cabin was plenty roomy. Appreciated the balcony -- thank you John! Food was very good and more than plentiful. Staff was excellent.
Something Else?
One of the most appreciated items is that they will send us a copy of Renato's slide show and then his photo book. Brilliant marketing for Aurora to include this without extra charge so we will share it with friends and praise them, which we surely will do.
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Antarctica?
Pack less. It really isn't cold. We were lucky on the weather and rarely got very wet. Didn't need ski pants, as two smart wool layers under rain pants was perfect.
Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?
Still processing that. But SO grateful that I was able to go to this amazing place.
Do you have any recommendations for Swoop, or feedback about the team?
Just a few glitches filling out forms between Swoop and Aurora. Missed receiving the Swope buff. But overall good.
How prepared and excited for Antarctica did you feel?
Always hard getting ready for a long trip with both hot and cold climates. Was excited once we were underway. Too many other places to go to go here again soon is the only reason for answering no below.
Would you consider another trip to Antarctica with Swoop?
No
Would you be interested in travelling to Patagonia with Swoop?
No
