Tell us about Zodiac excursions
Amazing!!!!! Very safe and super cool! Saw so many animals up close which I doubt I'll ever get the opportunity to again!
Tell us about the expedition team
Outstanding. So knowledgeable and passionate about their fields while also being really sociable. Every single expedition guide and lead was fantastic. The lectures were also very useful and perfectly delivered. I was only sad to miss some when I was too seasick to leave my cabin!
Tell us about the Plancius
Lovely cabin, much more luxurious than the hostels I'd been living in for the past 5 months. Food was incredible, was such a treat. I would definitely choose this ship again.
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Antarctica?
If you can, do it. You will not regret it. Beat decision I ever made and I will do my best to go again in the future. The amount of joy I experienced on this trip was worth every penny and the memories will stay with me forever. Also make sure your waterproofs are fully waterproof and have something to keep your camera dry from the snow.
Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?
Yes, I have a new love for whales and enhanced love for penguins.
How prepared and excited for Antarctica did you feel?
Very!! Especially as my trip was quite last minute as I was already travelling. The team were great at preparing me with quite short notice.
