Reseñas

Organisation, Information, Presentations, Zodiac Tours and food supply were outstanding

After quite some research we decided to join Oceanwide expeditions for the Antarctic experience. It was the best choice ever, I cannot find any faults on this trip. The Hondius ship is amazing, confortable, the atention, the food and all the crew espectacular. In this trip, we had very good weather most of the time which it was an add on. Our team leader and all our guides were very attentive and knowledgeable telling us many interesting facts and leading us to see amazing sites and a huge amount of whildlife on all the zodiac outings. Every day is full of activities to keep you very busy and entertained. The whole vibe of the trip was great. Thanks for such a good experience.

With the trip reversed due to weather conditions we had the luck to have smooth sailing and fantastic landings at various great nature spots.

We had the most amazing trip we had to Antarctica! All of the staff onboard ensures you have the most splendid trip. The conditions onboard are indeed excellent - great food and service all the way. The guides are very knowledgeable and friendly - and great at socializing during the trip. We were very fortunate with the weather - which is great on this trip as they have so many activities planned for you! Great combination of landings, zodiac trips as well as more adventure type of activities: kayaking, mountaineering, camping and so forth. You feel very safe during all activities. We can highly recommend travelling with Oceanwide - once in a lifetime experience made perfect!

I was on a waiting list, and a week before the departure I got my spot. It was the most interesting journey. The twin bed room was excellent, and I got a great roommate. The crew and staff were so welcoming. Sarah, the expedition leader made the trip for me, with her knowledge, compassion, and caring. I wished I had signed up for the night camping. Most of the lectures were interesting, although it was hard to understand some of the speakers. The food was very good. I wish you could suggest a few vendors in Ushuaia that rent out clothing and equipment.

I highly recommend Oceanwide, the expedition was astounding, from my first steps onto the ship, to my last All the teams onboard are so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable they immediately put you at ease and cannot do enough to ensure you have an awesome experience The Antarctic Peninsula is absolutely stunning, the white continent unspoilt, pristine and gorgeous, I just stood in awe and wonder totally speechless The Expedition team do everything and more to ensure you get to see all the wildlife in their natural environment but also keeping a distance so as not to disturb nature at it best This was truly a remarkable experience and worth every penny Thank you Oceanwide

THIS TRIP WAS AMAZING! The Oceanwide team blew my expectations out of the water. I knew I would be going to Antarctica, but I didn't know I would be met with an expedition team that was knowledgeable, hospitable, kind, and curious. My trip was made one million times better all thanks to the Oceanwide team.

So mush to see, so much to learn from the excellent guides, plenty of sea watching to bird 8 penguin species, 5 albatross, 13 petrel species, 2 prions and 2 shearwaters. Orca, fin,sei,humpback and bottle nosed whale. Incredible and amazing scenery, good off ship walks and zodiac cruises. Brilliant thank you! Food great on Ship as well!!

Seeing our small ship dwarfed by bigger cruise liners at the Port of Ushuaia lent some foreboding to our cruise. We could not have been more wrong! Plancius was the perfect ship. Comfortable with ample room for just 105 passengers. The Expedition guides were outstanding in their knowledge and passion for the Antarctic which they shared with us at evening briefings. The house staff were professional and congenial and the meals were varied and delicious. To be able to partake in all the onshore activities was a highlight due to the small number of passengers. A lifetime of memories!

Our second tour on mv Hondius What makes it so special are the Oceanwide staff.Everyone of them makes sure you have the best trip ever. Expedition guides, superbly managed by Sara, are friendly and keen to help and share their knowledge. The hospitality staff are simply the best I've ever encountered A cliche I know but it was the trip of a lifetime ,incredible scenery and wildlife And visited places I never thought I would see. Wiould definitely recommend to anyone

Fantastic Company and wonderful tour. From the minute you stepped on the boat it was perfect. Great guides,cabin lovely and food and service 5* quality. So lucky to go out at least twice a day to land or zodiac cruise.Wonderful wildlife close up. Lectures also informative. Recommend 100%

We travelled to Antarctica aboard the MV Ortelius in December 2023 on the Basecamp Expedition. We cannot speak highly enough of the entire voyage and both the vessel crew under Captain Per and the Expedition crew under Team Leader Chris. Chris told us we weren’t on a cruise but an expedition and this was exactly the experience that we wanted and had. Chris did an incredible job given that this was his first time in the expedition leader role, we all enjoyed his early morning wake up call of “Good morning Ortelius, Good morning”. We travelled with our 12 and 14 year old children and all the crew were incredibly helpful in looking after them. A special mention to Maria for watching out for her “babies”, Damian for bringing the hot chocolate, Mary for always smiling and Captain Per for his funny and interesting talks. The Expedition team were all very friendly and worked extremely hard to adapt to changing weather conditions to make sure that we all got to experience all the the Basecamp tour had to offer. The kayaking, mountaineering, camping out, zodiac and snowshoeing were all activities that we will never forget in a truly amazing environment in Antarctica.

Einfach nur ein Traum

An exceptional privilege to experience this unique landscape and observe the wildlife. The guides were experienced and knowledgeable. The ship facilities and staff were of the highest standard. This is a trip for people with a spirit of adventure and respect for the natural world.

I miss this trip so much already. I would not only 100% recommend this ship, I would be so happy to do it right all over again. The expedition leader (Pippa) was a dream and her team was fantastic, same for the crew of the Oceanwide crew on the ship. The whole trip really was a dream, I can't say enough good things. Time of our lives.
