The crew were wonderful, the places we visited were otherworldly, and the expedition guides were top notch. Highly recommended.

There's just no way how to review this trip. Let's just say that a 5 star rating just doesn't do this trip justice. The staff was great. The guides went to the maximum to let us enjoy as much as the weather allowed us. No effort seemed to much for the team. The breakfast, lunch and diner were exellent. Cabin was very comfortable. All the lectures and knowledge that was shared. The overall welcome feeling aboard the ship. Let's not even start about the scenery. I always thought this would be a once in a lifetime trip, but now that i've been there i know i will be back with Oceanwide one day. It has been worth all the saving and all the travelling to Ushuaia. very very well done!

I have been to many places around the world but when people ask where my favorite place is I can't decide because each location had its unique bits about it. After having gone on this trip to Antarctica I can say hands down this has been the best trip I've been on. Antarctica has been the best place I have visited. I know you can't control the weather or wildlife but I was fortunate enough to have plenty of good weather and lots of wildlife to see on this trip. I love the ship Plancius. The expeditionary crew was phenomenall. Each one addded their own skills and character. They were always kind. The galley crew was amazing. Super good food ALL the time. Well worth the money spent. I'd go again in a heartbeat.

Oceanwide and their staff provided the best adventure that we have experienced in our 60 years. The snowcapped mountains, whales, penguins, seals, zodiac rides, kayaks, staff friendliness/knowledge and the quality of the food was above & beyond our expectations. The Drake Passage was not a 'lake' but it also was not the 'shake' we were expecting so this made most passengers very happy. Well done Oceanwide.

This was my husband and my 7th continent. Our only requirement was to plant our feet on the continent. Job done!! But wait, there is SO MUCH MORE... From the staff and ship mates to the scenery and wildlife we could not have experienced more awe. The diversity of our shipmates was heartwarming with our shared love for adventure, friendship, interest in preserving nature and having fun! A wonderful time of nations, gender, interests and age coming together. I was blown away by how close we were to nature. Even with exercising the utmost care to not disturb them in their natural habitat. Zoom lenses were not really necessary. And then there is the Drake Passage. Though I would never consider crossing it without some sort of seasick medication, it actually was fun. You just have to roll with it!!

Everything in this trip is excepcionnal. I loved everything about it. All the staff was professional, kind and fun. Our ship, the Plancius, has the perfect size. She was cosy, a “real” ship, not one of these giant cruise boats. I loved it!! All the gear for the activities was in good conditions and has great quality. Security for the passengers and the wildlife was always the major issue. I have no words to describe the beauty and purity of the Antarctic Peninsula. It was like a dream. It touched something in my very soul. Every day in Antarctica brought new wonders and priceless treasures. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life!

Typically, I am in command of a sizeable vocabulary. However, this trip was beyond anything I can describe to family and friends at home. The nearly instant cohesiveness of crew, guides and we adventurers was like nothing I have ever before experienced. Everyday was not just an adventure but a deepening understanding of our human connections with one another as well as our place in the fabric of life on this planet. Yes, it was immeasurably fun but it was a profoundly rewarding personal experience.

Vielen Dank an die gesamte Crew, vielen Dank seid flexibel und habt sicher auch allen anderen Gästen auf dieser besonderen Reise unvergessliche Momente beschert. Ihr seid Top :) VIELEN DANK

Everything was well organised, food was excellent, trips were amazing. I enjoyed every day and everything. They tried to let you experience everything, if plan A wasn’t an option plan b, c or d were available. Every staff member was nice and helped you at any time. It was a great experience!

Absolutely brilliant trip, crew food, every thing.

Above expectations

The staff was always cheerful - on the boat and off. That made all the effort of being on tipsy seas and struggling up snowy isles worthwhile. The food was excellent and conversation always interesting. I loved that half the passengers were French. The point of an Antarctic trip was to see the clarity of the air and landscape and be with the wildlife as much as possible. This expedition made sure we all got out - over and under water - as much as possible. I turned out to be clumsier than the penguins, but all the guides helped me up and down the slopes with complete courtesy, making sure I got to the designated areas. All were able to answer my questions about the wildlife too. There were plenty of activities and enough time to relax. I would only suggest more time between the wake up call and breakfast - it's not quick or easy putting on 5-6 layers of clothes! Ah, I would also suggest that you sell t-shirts with "I survived the Drake Passage." It would be good to have a souvenir of that!

I book the expedition just last minute few days before.. i was travelling in south america since few months.. bolivia and argentina.. i hear about some oeople in salar de uyuni then i decide to ask.. and i was super lucky to find a spot on plancius for this aantatmrtica peninsula expedition.. i was celebrating also my bday few days after the boarding.. and i can say it was the best week bday ever.. everything on board was maniacal perfect… only thanks for that 😊🙌🏽

Trip exceeded expectations. Very well planned and managed. Flexible and adaptable to changing weather conditions. From dropping the anchor we could all be on a beach in half an hour or less. Staff always helpful with cheerful smiles. A lot of thought had clearly gone into each days activity. The captain said it was in the top three of the trips he had done. Not sure if that was because of the weather or sightings or a mixture of both. The plan certainly had to be adjusted at times to deal with weather conditions but the expedition staff made their own luck with their hard work.

my best vacation ever!! A dream came true and the crew made it possible along with the great weather we had.
