Antarctica is a truly breathtaking and otherworldly destination. The stark white landscapes, towering glaciers, and diverse array of wildlife make for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The journey to the southernmost continent is also an adventure in itself, with rough seas and unpredictable weather adding to the sense of remoteness and isolation. The trip to Antarctica starts from Ushuaia, Argentina, where we boarded a ship that took us across the Drake Passage, which is known for its rough waters. Despite the rocky crossing, the journey was worth it as soon as we arrived to the Antarctic Peninsula. Once on the continent, we were able to go on daily excursions to explore the various islands and inlets. We saw colonies of penguins, seals lounging on ice floes, and whales breaching the surface of the water. The highlight of the trip was probably the landscapes, made of massive ice formations, mountains and floating icebergs. The accommodation and food on the ship were also excellent, with comfortable cabins and delicious meals prepared by the ship's chefs. The staff was also very friendly and knowledgeable, making for a great experience overall.

We have seen a lot of wildlife. Seven kinds of Penguins of which almost all kolonies had chicks, Fur seals with pups, wales, several kinds of sea birds, Commerson's dolphins, too much to mention. The service on board was very good, as well as the atmosphere.. Very professional and friendly staff. We have enjoyed this trip as the most beautyfull travelexperience we have ever had.

A fantastic, fun and exciting trip. Spectacular landscapes, wildlife in its natural environment and nature in its purest form. With an excellent team that took care of us and made us feel at home. Thank you for a wonderful experience and for making a dream come true!!

Incredible journey through Antarctic lands. Incredible landings in all the areas visited, with special mention for South Georgia Island. Memories that will be in my mind forever. Thanks to all the expedition team and the crew.

Overall, the trip was extremely enjoyable. I was happy with all the landings, but would have liked much more time spent in Antarctica which only had one mainland landing. I appreciated being able to walk amongst the wildlife and also the fact that Ocenawide takes its biosecurity seriously (although some passengers still knelt close to penguins). Its good that nature conservation is important to the crew and messages regarding it can be found throughout the ship. The food was mostly excellent and the facilities on the ship were good. I will probably visit Antarctica again and wont have any issues choosing Oceanwide. Thanks

5-star crew and experience. Room for improvement: Signing up of activities could be done electronically and/or in advance. Instead there was a long wait and I've noticed some cruise participants being very sea sick while waiting.

Every single person, from the people cleaning the rooms, to the cooks, to the engineers, to the guides, did everything they could to make the trip as enjoyable as earthly possible. The accommodations, the food, the excursions, the lectures, and every other aspect of the trip was a wonderful experience thanks to the Oceanwide and Ortelius personnel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks you OCEANWIDE team for a ONCE IN A LIFETIME (hope not) amazing expedition and experience. The entire basecamp trip was outstanding, the team lead by Sara will not be forgotten, same as the glaciers, the pinguins, the whales, the orcas and the entire Antarctica experience. It was such an emotional experience that wouldn’t be the same without such team. The entire ship teams lead by the captain and the hotel manager added their flavor for my amazing experience during the expedition. This expedition and team exceed any dream that I had about Antarctica.

Eine unvergessliche Reise.

I came to Antarctica to see the wildlife but was memorized by the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen. The sounds of Antarctica was the greatest experience.

It was a great tour, we saw a lot of wildlife, the staff was very knowledgeable, the food was delicious, the activities were good, although the mountaineering part lacked on fairness, how people were put into individual groups according to their skill level.

Can't say enough about this trip. The destination was better than I could have imagine. But the crew and staff were world-class experts, adventurers - and were also fantastic human beings on top of it all. Sara's energy and efforts to make the trip as amazing as possible were unparalleled. Adam (expedition), Adam (kayaking), Bill (scottsman), Felicity (marine biologist), Shona (doctor), Barni (icelandic viking), Robin and Andy (mountaineers) - and others were fascinating to meet, hear their stories, learn from their experience. The crew were incredibly warm and friendly and helpful as well.

The best trip of my life

Awesome trip!!!!

I didn't know what to expect when I signed up to travel to Antarctica! But what I got was a trip of a lifetime and girlfriends who love to travel and who I can call great friends! My Kangaroo Krew! I had the best ship, crew, weather and time and will miss my time in Antarctica but will cherish every second that I had there. Thank you, Oceanwide Expeditions!
