Were Swoop right to recommend Silversea Expeditions?

Yes

Tell us about Zodiac excursions

Yes, all except the one where we were soaked in the rain! They were an experience and we always felt safe although the swells made embarkation interesting at times!

Tell us about the expedition team

Yes they were knowledgeable, friendly and experienced. Merikka, George, Jess and Jon were very good. Shackleton lectures

Tell us about the Silver Wind

The Silver Wind exceeded our expectations. Our cabin was great and comfortable. Food was excellent but too much! Their signature hot chocolate was a delight. Yes, would be very happy to sail in the Wind again. Great entertainment too.

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