The expedition team is amazing. Every day we had a briefing session before the excursion with the Zodiacs. The team is very organized, fully prepared, polite and 100% atentive with each turist. Excellent group, excellent team and an amazing leader - PIPA.

I love the ship. The crew is fantastic, I would like to say I was positivelly surprised with the organization inside the ship. Everything was excellent.

Yes, I enjoyed every cruise in the Zodiacs. I felt 100% safe because the preparation and the oceanwide team. All Zodiacs Cruise were planned and briefed with us in the meetings. I love my Zodiac cruise to see the penguins. Remarcable.

Yes
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Antarctica?
I would recommend buy better gloves and better socks. The weather outside in the Zodiac Cruises need especial gears for hands and feet.
Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?
