My suggestion is more brown bread, put cinnamon out, maybe coffee machines in dining room and tell people in advance that WiFi is crazy expensive, download books and everything beforehand.

Most beautiful trip I have ever done, beautiful wildlife and an enthousiastic and amazing crew + expedition team ! Thanks a lot !

My partner and I had a great time on our expedition to Antarctica on the m/v Hondius. The expedition team was amazing. Despite having to deal with some challenging circumstances due to covid, they made sure that we were safe and had a wonderful time with many incredible landings and zodiac cruises. We saw lots of wildlife and learned so much. Thank you!!

From start to end, this adventure of a lifetime surpassed my already high expectations. Expedition leaders/naturalists were top notch and helpful, with informative presentations from their varied experiences throughout. Their enthusiasm and camaraderie was genuine, heightened by their own long hiatus due to the pandemic. Adam set the tone - a terrific mix of professional and personable, and he always had backup plans for contingencies of weather. Bill's sideways energy added enormously. From servers and cabin maintenance to Sigi's dulcet wake-up calls, the hotel group was excellent. Food was varied, copious and always excellent. We marveled at fresh lettuce 10 days into the trip. The captain and his team were excellent, but unfortunately we barely got to know them due to closed bridge. Thank you.

I was very impressed by the Oceanwide operation. The guide staff was highly qualified, most of them with advanced degrees in their fields. They were all personable and eager to share information and experiences. The ship’s crew all strived to provide the best experience possible. We traveled during the COVID pandemic and the company and crew worked hard to keep the ship clean and passengers safe. This trip to Antarctica was a “bucket list” trip for me and I am so glad that it was with Oceanwide. I highly recommend Oceanwide for anyone looking to make an Antarctic or Arctic trip.

A wonderful overview to the Antarctic acessible from the sea.

This was an amazing trip, my first to Antarctica and something I'll remember forever. The wildlife sightings from deck, the zodiacs and on the land were just brilliant and much more than I was ever expecting. The ship was comfortable and spacious with nice facilites such as the coffee machine on tap! All of its crew were so helpful, patient and friendly throughout. The Expedition team, led by Martin and Pippa were also very friendly, and so well organised, knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm, they really made the trip special. Thanks everyone, from someone who never wanted to go on a cruise before, ( due to fear of sea sickness and formal dinners) I will definitely consider one to the Arctic with Oceanwide in the future. Thank you so much.

Trotz einiger NATURBEDINGTER WIDRIGKEITEN, die durch die Crew (in allen Bereichen) für mein Empfinden gut kompensiert wurden, war die Expeditions-Reise ein LOHNENSNSWERTES , SPANNENDES, BEWUSTSEIN ERWEITERNTES u. dadurch zum NACHDENKEN anregendes Erlebnis !!!!!!!!!!!!! 2015 habe ich mit der PLANCIUS eine SPITZBERGEN-UMRUNDUNG gemacht - GROSSARTIG !!!

See the titel :)

A really fabulous adventure to Antarctica, South Georgia Island, and the Falkland Islands aboard the Plancius. The boat is a perfect size for our 100 passenger voyage. The staff is very personable and helpful. Each day they give presentations about climate, geography, wildlife, a daily recap and plans for the next day. We had ample onshore excursion and zodiac tours of various islands and inlets in the Antarctic peninsula. After several days here, we moved on to South Georgia Island. This seems to be the Galapagos of the South Atlantic, with wildlife that is extremely approachable. The rugged mountainous terrain is breathtaking, and we all visited Grytviken to see the old whale processing station, the museum, and visit Shackleton's burial site. Our final stop on thje voyage was the Falkland Islands to visit the Magellanic penguins and the town of Stanley. All along the entire voyage there was so much to experience!

The most amazing lifetime experience. Great ship, brilliant crew and wonderful wildlife seen so close on the zodiac landings and cruises. Life on board was great with excellent food and nothing too much trouble for the crew. If you make one trip in your lifetime make it this one!

Zunächst die positiven Aspekte: Ein altes Schiff ist ganz nett. Und wenn dann gesegelt wird, hat es seinen speziellen Reiz. Die Crew war sehr aufgeschlossen, stets ansprechbar und hilfsbereit. Wir haben Wale und Nordlichter und tolle Landschaften gesehen. Soweit wurde das Reisekonzept eingehalten. Damit dann die negativen Punkte: Nur Wale und Nordlichter? An Bord war ein Zodiak, - es wurde nicht benutzt. Wir sind jeden Abend einen anderen Hafen angefahren, Kontakt zu den Orten, den Menschen oder zu Sehenswürdigkeiten oder Besonderheiten? - Fehlanzeige. Wanderungen als Highlight? Ich hatte ehern den Eindruck, dass der Reiseleiter die Aufgabe hatte die Zeit bis zum Abendessen zu füllen. Das soll nicht seinen Einsatz schmälern. Es ist das Konzept... Noch ein Wort zur Versorgung: es ist eine niederländische Reederei , folglich sind die verfügbaren Lebensmittel mitgebracht, das Frühstück erhält holländische Züge, norwegische Einflüsse sind nicht wahrnehmbar. Elchwurst, Geitost oder andere typisch norwegische Speisen trifft am nicht an. Wobei anzumerken ist, der Koch ist gut, aber er kann nur verarbeiten, was bereitgestellt wird. Und da sind wir wieder bei der Reederei.
