We were a 25 guest birthday trip, it was spectacular and lots of fun! The s/v Rembrandt van Rijn is a wonderful ship, charming and comfortable. You get a taste of arctic exploring, somewhat softened by modern comfort. The guides are excellent - very knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly. The food is fine, the drinks affordable, and the captain knows his way around arctic waters!! An experience we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Wahnsinnig schön!!!

I cannot fault the professionalism of the Plancius crew - the ship was terrific, the service five star, the staff were welcoming, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable - no question went unanswered and nothing was too much trouble. The Expedition and Dive Teams were awesome. Our dive briefs were honest and thorough, and the diving did not disappoint. The dive team were highly experienced, safety conscious without being restrictive, charming, helpful and an all round top marks. We had some incredible encounters. Despite some challenging seas and weather, we had the most incredible trip - made easier and much more enjoyable by the crew. I cannot recommend this trip, boat or crew enough. It was absolutely a trip of a lifetime & I wanted to go straight back out and do it all over again. Another adventure is already in the planning. Go if you can.

This was my best trip ever.

Friendly & knowledgable staff. Interesting talks particularly from the US Army Commander of Ascension during the Falklands conflict and the UK Manager from Cable & Wireless in the 1960s. I would have liked to see a map of the route of the ship and our progress whilst we were travelling.

Het was een bijzondere ervaring en een prachtige reis met heel veel mooie herinneringen en waarnemingen. Een aanrader voor iedereen die houdt van onhergbergzame landschappen en gebieden met unieke soorten.

Antarctica is the most gorgeous and pristine place I’ve ever seen. Taking the voyage on the Plancius, with the expert staff and warm crew, made the trip all the more memorable. I would absolutely recommend this trip to everyone.

The Gray Seal is cool

I loved every second. The ship, the crew, the expedition team, fellow travellers. To visit the expedition huts was a dream come true. The wildlife was incredible and the scenery awe inspiring. I'll be back!!

Being part of this expetition cruise was amazing. I felt more then welcome on the Hondius and the staff members were always friendly and made everthing to have us an unforgettable experience. Thanks to everyone who made that happen! The landscape was absolutly breathtaking and the wildlife was stunning. Everyone says it is a once in a lifetime trip, but maybe one day I'm coming back to the Southern Ocean.

Great trip. The Captain was super. The staff and crew were great. I loved the expedition trip and not just hanging out.

Trip of a lifetime. Crew was outstanding, knowledgeable, professional, genuine and passionate about their work. Absolutely amazing. Meals were first class. Would highly recommend this expedition. Thank you.

Amazing trip aboard the m/v Plancius. Special thanks to Michael, Roman, Rick and Lotties, our diving leaders.

Thank you for the most wonderful trip of my life! My cabin was very comfortable and clean with ample space to store clothing and gear. All meals far exceeded expectations with plenty of choices and a wide variety of foods. I would add that the soups were delicious! The ships staff are the most friendly group of people ever before encountered. It would be unfair to name any particular individual because all interactions with every member included a warm smile and pleasant conversation. The staff consistently goes about their busy day with dedication and pride. The expedition staff was unparalleled. Each and every member brought a high level of expertise to lectures that were shared with passengers and presented with a personal flair in an interesting manner. Lectures held me rapt from beginning to end. Trips ashore were fascinating. My plan is to read about future Plancius expeditions and perhaps book an Arctic adventure.
