Snow Hill adventure
Amazing trip overall, Drake lake on the way out, spectacular scenery, exciting sailing surrounded by ice, the first ship into the Weddell Sea thanks to Capt Per and the visit to the emperor penguin colony on a hot, sunny day--even the penguins were too hot and were lying on the ice( we weren't allowed! ) followed by visits to other penguin colonies just as fascinating. Expedition crew worked to hard to give us the best experience. All the lecturers were interesting and accomplished. Drake passage also kind on return. fabulous!

Once in a Lifetime experience
It was a long time pending wish to visit Antarctica. It happened this November. The 13 day trip in MV Hondius from Ushuaia to Antarctic peninsula was a dream come true. The trip was made more entertaining and knowledgeable by the experienced and supporting team which accompanied us. The stay was made comfortable by the ever ready and pleasing support staff in the ship. We were a group from 28 countries who shared their experiences and knowledge during the trip. The lectures organised every day by qualified staff bonded us further towards wildlife.

The Best Trip Ever
What a time we had. Excellent presentations on all things Antarctica. From lectures on whales, penguin, personal experiences, history, art and many more topics. All presentations were well received by all of the great guests.

Breathtaking Expedition
The Xperience was breathtaking, incredible, magnific. The penguin colonies visits, the navigation through Weddell Sea, the Emperor Penguin Xperience including helicopter, really unique. All the staff very proffessional, competent and kind. But, with the price of the Expedition, should you invoice 2 € for the seasickness pills? Best regards

Die große Reise
Bernhard Kischnick

Meine 1. große Kreuzfahrt die die Erwartungen bei weiten übertroffen haben. Ein tolle Crew von bis die, uns eine solche Reise mit ihrem Einsatz und freundlicher Bedienung ermöglicht haben. Hauptärgernis was sich immer wieder durch die gesamte Reise zog, war das ich einer der wenigen auf dem Schiff gewesen bin der den vollen Preis und auch sonst keine Vergünstigungen bekommen habe.

Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica Oct-Nov 2024
A fantastic early season voyage on the Plancius with abundant wildlife and magnificent destinations. The entire crew and staff did a great job throughout, and the Expedition Leader, Ali, worked tirelessly to ensure we made the most of the opportunities to land or Zodiac cruise. As a keen birder, I found the Plancius to be an exceptional platform for seawatching, with abundant outside deck space throughout the vessel. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this trip.

perfekte Reise
Unsere Reise auf der Plancius war perfekt. Das gesamte Team des Schiffes hat alles getan, um uns die Tier und Pflanzenwelt, die Geschichte und Gegenwart der Region zu vermitteln und Tierbegegnungen "hautnah" zu ermöglichen. Begeisterte Empfehlung.

Fantastic Antarctic experience.
It was a fantastic trip!! The way how Oceanwide managed everything is extraordinary. The landings ashore were so well organised: plenty of SPACE and TIME !!!!!! Fantastic how we could do our own thing. It was my fifth trip with Oceanwide, and this one I enjoyed the most! Thanks a lot to the staff for their patience and help during the landings and a special thanks, to the expeditionleaders.

croisière expédition Plancius

Tout fut parfait : équipage du bateau, personnel de service bar restaurant, équipe de guides de Ali, exposés, promenades à terre pour côtoyer la faune sur leur plages, leurs rivières, leurs glaciers, oui j'ai une photo à partager : cliente gravement malade évacuée avec professionnalisme à un hôpital Argentina, bravo
