What was your most memorable moment?

Traveling on the Ultramarine was the most epic and unforgettable experience. The expedition team is top notch and the service on the ship is exceptional. This ship had all the expedition activities you could ask for. We were able to get on zodiacs twice a day and signed up for kayaks as well. Expedition team provided dry suits and guidance through the activities and voyage. Lots of knowledge transfer during the voyage too and enjoyed the learning about birds, seals, whales and penguins. Plenty of food to fuel and cabins were well stocked with general toiletries. Loved the beds and pillows and the stabilizers helped make the ride smoother than expected. All logistics were taken care of by staff, and it was easy to follow. Programs posted daily so you always knew what was going on. Booking through Swoop was seamless, and all information was provided for in the portal. Now Investigating our next voyage to see the Arctic! Ready to go!
