Were Swoop right to recommend Oceanwide Expeditions?
Yes
Tell us about Zodiac excursions
Loved them all, but particularly enjoyed cruises through sea ice and one where we had a lot of whale activity including 5-6 humpbacks bubble-net feeding
Tell us about the expedition team
Outstanding in all respects, both on-ship and off-ship. Would not necessarily say stand out as everyone so professional and knowledgeable etc but would pick out the EL Pippa and assistant EL George (one of the most engaging speakers I can recall hearing on any topic)
Tell us about the Hondius
Yes, all excellent. Hotel team, dining room team, crew on bridge all very friendly and welcoming. Food very good - just too much of it! Would definitely choose again
Would you consider another trip to Antarctica with Swoop?
No
Would you be interested in travelling to Patagonia with Swoop?
No
Do you have any recommendations for Swoop, or feedback about the team?
One aspect I did not appreciate beforehand was how extensive and excellent the lecture programme on board would be - I think you could do more to sell this to potential customers (and OceanWide could make more of this in their marketing materials)
