Going to Antarctica had been on my bucket list for a long time, when we realised that we could also dive there it was a dream come true. Antarctica was everything we hoped it would be and more. We were able to go diving, kayaking, overnight camping and walking as well as doing an ocean plunge. There were so many fantastic experiences, such as diving an iceberg, watching the space station go by whilst camping outside, humpwhales, kayaking next to penguins, so many interactions with penguins, sailing down iceberg alley and Lemaire Channel. We were able to dive every day as well as go on land. The diving was a very unique experience and one I never thought possible in the Antarctic. The crew were great and made it a safe and very enjoyable adventure trip to the Antarctica. Thank you to the crew of M/V Plancius for this memorable trip.

A great cruise with many activities.

Wirklich perfekte Reise (Spitzbergen-Komplettumrundung inkl. Nordaustland), mit 13 Eisbären, ca. 50 Walrosse usw. Tolle Landungen und Bergsteigungs-Aktivitäten, sehr hoher Aktivitätsgrad. Viele Vögel (Sterntaucher, Dickschnabellummen, Elfenbeinmöwen...). Außerdem gute Vorträge, leckeres Essen und wirklich gute Zodiac-Ausfahrten. In jeder Hin´sicht gab es immer das bestmögliche Reiseprogramm!

Vom Abholen am Flughafen in Longyearbyen bis zur Ankunft in Rejkjavik lief alles wie am Schnürchen. Großes Lob an die Schiffsbesatzung, das Servicepersonal und das Expeditionsteam. War eine ganz tolle Reise!

Upgraded to a superior cabin with 2 bottles of complimentary wine was a great start as was the humpback whales "show" the first evening. Force 10 in the Denmark Strait was quite an experience but was part of the "explorer" feeling. Greenland was bleak and grim with pancake ice just forming, a foretaste of the Arctic winter that was really atmospheric. Katja led a great team of guides and the food was superb.

A real arctic experience!

Ich war mit meinen Sohn Thomas. Die Reise war für mich was besonders, er war ja schon mit in die Antarktis. Man kann diese Reise nur positiv weiter empfehlen. Ich habe eine kleine 20 min Diashow gemacht wie kann ich Euch dies zukommen lassen. Es grüßt aus Bad Wildungen Peter

Brilliant all-round. A superb trip & log. Fantastic photos. Have informed DtW of how excellent it was in every way. Convivial guides / excellent food ( including vegetarian ) / cabin staffing. Many thanks Danke

Hallo liebes Team, Ihr habt einen super Job gemacht. Es war eine tolle Reise und das Tagebuch war das Tüpfelchen auf dem i. Dafür ganz herzlichen Dank Henning

A fantastic trip! Wonderful views, great hikes and mostly absolutely fantastic staff who were kind, considerate, knowledgeable and friendly! I'd totally travel with oceanwide again :) A great experience.

Reise sehr empfehlenswert, Optimale Betreuung durch ein sehr verantwortungsbewusstes Team, das alle Möglichkeiten entsprechend der Wetterlage ergreift um eine unvergessliche Reise zu erleben. Ausgezeichnet ist die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Kapitän unser seiner Crew - hohe Flexibilität was den Programmablauf betrifft.

Die Reise hat unvergessliche Eindrücke hinterlassen. Die lehrreichen und leicht nachvollziehenden Vorträge von den sehr kompetenten Guides haben mich gefesselt. Das Schiff ist komfortabel, die Küche abwechslungsreich und lecker.

Alles bestens, Organisation, Alternativen wegen zu dicken Eises, Wetter,

Not a complete loss, but for a trip sold as a "polar bear special", we left feeling like we'd just been hoodwinked. A single bear at great distance is hardly special. Similarly, a single blue whale, visible for maybe 2 minutes. Walrus - a dozen, rather than 80 reported on other trips. No beluga. No bowhead. No fin whale. No arctic fox. Hundreds of seabirds rather than thousands. Reindeer - the only species we got a decent look at. No doubt we were unlucky. Wildlife sightings on our trip were significantly less than on other trips, as reported in the various trip logs (up to 26 bears in one case!). But I would expect the crew to know where to find the animals, and to move the ship to where the wildlife is. Yes, wildlife is unpredictable, but others manage to find them. Furthermore - the food on the ship was also well below advertised standard. Edible, certainly, and plentiful, but much closer to "good canteen", and most certainly NOT "fine dining". Finally - many of the guides were uncooperative. The tour leader (in particular) when asked a question would avoid answering, just tell me what a good time I'm having. Will NOT be back.

«Good Morning my Dear Polar Explorers!» was the wake up call we received every morning from our Expedition leader Michael. This kind of expedition was a first time for me and it met all my expectations: the ship was neat, really comfortable and the entire crew was great: amazing guides, crew and a great team of hotel staff; they all worked tirelessly to let us have a great experience, and they did it more than right. Sailing through the ice, landings, strolling with zodiacs in front of glaciers, all made this experience to be worth living. I really had a great time onboard and I hope to join soon on another one!
