9 out of 10
Were Swoop right to recommend Silversea Expeditions?
Yes
Tell us about Zodiac excursions
Well managed and the best way to get up close to everything.
Tell us about the expedition team
Very knowledgeable and friendly and professional.
Tell us about the Silver Endeavour
Floating luxury hotel. There were a few design issues that probably can't be changed though, with the mud room (badly designed, crowded when everyone getting on and off zodiacs); Grill (crowded, poor layout at lunchtime); and Lounge (too small to fit all 200 guests at once). But staff and service and food excellent otherwise.
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Antarctica?
Try to include South Georgia too. Earlier in the season may have been better. Weddell Sea side wasn't as impressive as west of peninsula.
Would you be interested in travelling to The Arctic with Swoop?
Yes
Would you be interested in travelling to Patagonia with Swoop?
No
Would you consider another trip to Antarctica with Swoop?
No
Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?
Amazed at how magnificent this part of the world is.
How prepared and excited for Antarctica did you feel?
Felt fairly prepared but always some things you can't prepare for. Packed too much.
