Were Swoop right to recommend Silversea Expeditions?
Yes
Tell us about Zodiac excursions
Yes, I absolutely loved the Zodiac Excursions! The staff on the team were wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about Antarctica. Their love for nature was evident, and they were always eager to share their insights, making the experience even more enriching. I felt completely confident and safe when my family and I joined their excursions on this trip.
Tell us about the expedition team
It’s the same as my response in the previous section. My favorite staff member was Cristine and Expedition leader, and my favorite lecture was the one about penguins
Tell us about the Silver Endeavour
As mentioned in my previous response, traveling with the Endeavor was a seamless and comfortable experience, far from the monotony I’ve encountered on other ships. The accommodations on Silversea Endeavor were exceptionally comfortable, with a well-thought-out layout that maximized functionality. The ship itself is truly a luxurious and comfortable expedition vessel, offering ample facilities for extended stays at sea. The well-designed activities kept the journey engaging and enjoyable, preventing any sense of monotony during the long voyage. From my experience, Silversea Endeavor stands out as one of the best cruise ships I have ever traveled on. Beyond the ship’s design and amenities, I was especially impressed by the crew’s attentiveness and outstanding service. My butler, Zeon, and the housekeeper,Kartiko, were exceptional—particularly in their thoughtful and attentive care during my illness. The food onboard was excellent, though a slightly less salty touch would have made it even better. The restaurant staff, especially Erhan, brought so much warmth and energy to the our stay experience. Their cheerful and friendly demeanor created a fun and welcoming atmosphere, particularly for my parents, which I truly appreciated. My dad even rated this trip a 9 out of 10—an incredibly high score coming from him for this type of travel! I would truly appreciate it if you could pass on my gratitude to these incredible staff members. Please let them know that my family and I sincerely appreciate their outstanding service and the care they provided throughout our journey. Overall, the kindness and professionalism of the staff made this journey exceptionally comfortable and truly memorable.
Something Else?
If possible, I would love to have more time and opportunities for exploration in the Antarctic Peninsula, as it was truly the highlight of this trip.

How prepared and excited for Antarctica did you feel?
Pretty well, quite easy after reading the preparation information.// I bought a new camera, a DSLR-like model (after taking a break from photography for a while). After reading articles, I realized it was the best decision for this trip.
