Yes

Tell us about Zodiac excursions

Yes, all safe, well managed and great crew. Loved travelling through water crammed with broken floating ice.

Tell us about the expedition team

All knowledgeable, friendly and engaging

Tell us about the SH Diana

Lovely ship, in great condition and very well equipped. Every single member of staff was friendly and helpful. Food was great, even for us vegetarians! Always food and drink available. Cabin was very comfortable, not at all claustrophobic. Would not hesitate to recommend this ship to anyone.

Something Else?

Free wifi is very limited and it is extremely expensive to buy a higher level of service. Disappointing that they were unable to provide correct size of expedition jacket despite 5 months notice.

Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Antarctica?

Don't overpack - you don't need that much stuff!

Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?

Didn't realise how large and impressive the Falklands and South Georgia are. Came away with great respect for the regulations and practices designed to protect the environment of Antarctica and S Georgia. Amazing to see wildlife thriving and not scared of people. If this much wildlife can live in the antarctic, imagine what less hostile places should be like if we hadn't messed it up so badly. Disheartening to see the significant impact of H5N1 bird flu on seals.
