What was your most memorable moment?
During a minutes silence on our zodiac to really take in and appreciate the surroundings an ice berg which we were near we could hear cracks from within and then suddenly a large chunk of the ice berg calved off the side. It was an overwhelming moment that stunned our whole zodiac.

The zodiac cruises were a great way to see more of Antartica, I cant believe how close we got to see whales.
Tell us about the Plancius
The food was absolutely fantastic everyday, the crew and staff were all great and I would recommend this ship to anyone, there were only 108 of us and it felt like a nice number.
