Wilderness means everything to me. It has always been my dream to see the wildlife in the REAL wild. Not zoo or sanctuary. By joining this expedition, my dream has finally come true and fulfilled beyond my expectations. With lovely crew members, expedition team and cozy living space and environment on Hondius, everything is just perfect and unforgettable!
The first trip of the year for the Ortelius to the Weddell Sea and we were treated to not only spectacular weather, but so much active wildlife and an expedition team that was second to none. While Oceanwide can't control the weather or animals, they did provide a stellar crew and team that made sure they always under promised and over delivered. This was truly an expedition that will stay with me for the rest of my life. It was low key on the frills and luxury comforts so stay away if you want a cruise with hundreds of other people. This was a trip to make friends, bounce around in zodiacs, hike across the frozen sea and truly experience the wildlife in Antarctica.
We had a wonderful experience with your Plancius crew during our recent Cheeseman Antarctica safari. The service was exceptional and the food was great! In fact, the food was better than I had on my Viking River cruise last October from Lyon, France to Avignon. Viking may have had a fancier presentation, but the chef on the Plancius presented food that tasted better and looked beautiful. The Chef’s food selection was great and I appreciated his innovative use of ingredients. I also want to compliment the dining room staff on their incredible service, attention to detail and thoughtfulness. Jerrica, Judel, Angelina, Charlotte and Prince elevated the entire experience for us and made it a joy to eat. The fact that they learned all our names so quickly was impressive. The entire dining room experience speaks highly to their management by Alex. My husband and I were very pleased with our overall experience on the Plancius. It may not be the fanciest ship, but its dedicated and experienced crew made some tough landings that elevated the trip for us. We’ll done!
Well done. Very committed, excellent improvising skill in ever changing weather conditions. Strickt on the ball and very seriously dealing with biosecurity risks. All in all a great adventure for those who want to realise how small we are and how big and beautyfull nature really is. Something to look after very carefully.
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.
