The ship was at capacity due to 2 other ships passengers joining us but the the crew copied magnificently, always with good cheer. A real variety of people to mix with over great food and drinks. The most magical part of my trip was the pod of Orca just off Port hunting and catching penguins. So close it was a spectacular show w

The highlight was having the opportunity to fulfull my bucket list in ,of my husband. The landscapes are breath-taking and the wildlife interesting. Watching the penquins walk, run, fly, swin was delightful. Seeing whales jump about was a sight to be seen ! Beautiful birds everywhere !! There were 65 folks on the tour - 4 continents, 7 languages. I was the oldest passenger. Many of the young chinese ladies, told me that I was their inspiration which made me feel good. They were delightful !! Biggest surprise was the rough waters the first night out, going through the Bransford Straight. I was very sea sick as were many folks !! A big surprise to say the least. The magical moment is simply the beauty of the land.

The wildlife and landscapes are amazing! The crews are knowledgeable. The kill of the seal by a group of Orcas was the highlight of the entire trip.

The highlight of this trip was South Georgia Island. The environment, wildlife and "other worldly" experience was amazing. Our fellow adventurers on this expedition were also very highly traveled and extremely interesting individuals. This made sharing of adventures another one of the highlights of this expedition. The surprise on the trip, for me, was the vast array of wildlife. Helloooo 400,000 penguins on one island. Elephant seals!!!! One can not explain the sounds, smells and visuals ... needs to be experienced.

Antarctica is the most pristine place that I have ever visited. My wife and I were amazed at the amount of wildlife we got to experience (Adelie, Gentoo, and Chinstrap penguins; Leopard, Crabeater, Weddell and Elephant seals; Humpback whales and a pod of over 20 Orcas that swam right by the ship). The ship and expedition staff were the most professional and informative group. They all worked well together and went out of their way to interact with the passengers. The best part about the team was how quickly they adjusted to weather conditions. This allowed us to not miss out on our landings and expeditions.

On Christmas Eve, the captain took the ship south into sea ice for a few hours. That was as far south as we ever went. Just when I thought I had seen Antarctica, the new scenary blew me away.

Loved everything. Being welcomed by penguins and ignored by seals was priceless. Traversing the LeMaire Strait on a clear, blue, calm day with mirror-like reflections of snowy peaks in the water was stunning. The guests on the cruise were highly compatible and the ship crew and expedition staff were wonderful.

Landscape and beauty like no other place on Earth. The staff went above and beyond. They were specialist in their fields and loved their jobs, Amazing. Wildlife everywhere, just so peaceful and serene out there in Antartica. Yes there was bad weather, it was a bit cold but that’s what you get for going to the bottom of the earth! The cruise itenerary did change and we got to go to Falkland Island as well, what a lovely surprise. We had a famous person on our ship, such fun!

The penguins were so fun to just watch as they carried on their regular activities- building nests or heading down to the water. The landscapes and wildlife were magnificent. We saw 3 species of penguins and several types of seals and also whales. The people on our ship came from various countries and we enjoyed getting to know them. We had an opportunity to stop and get off on a piece of floating ice - that was fun!

Too many highlights, 500,000 penguins in your field of vision at one time, 6 humpbacks surfing right next to our boat, a minke whale popping up right next to our zodiac, having a baby elephant seal virtually climb on top of me (thinking I was it's mother). We were really lucky to have a great group of people and friends on board, even luckier to have some people in 28-35... Which isn't too normal given the high prices. Most magical... Too hard to call between the above mentioned

Highlights: kayaking through pack ice, cruising through ice through the Neumeyer Channel, evening light in Paradise Bay/Harbour. Also, for Stephen, the visit to Port Lockroy and penguin pebble-thieving. The expedition staff were never less than good, and sometimes brilliant.

It was amazing - beyond expectations. At times, it was quite physically challenging but always entirely safe. It is virtually impossible to describe the sense of wonder of being in a pristine landscape, quite unlike anything one has seen before. I have walked in the Himalayas, been to the Sahara, visited the Grand Canyon - but the experience of Antarctica tops them all.
