Departure in February 2019

Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Antarctic Peninsula, Falkland Islands, South Georgia

Ship: m/v Ortelius

Excellent trip. The staff and crew were wonderful - well prepared and trained, knowlegeable, organized, friendly, efficient and responsive to our needs. The ship was apparently very well maintained and well-run. Troels Jacobsen, the expedition leader was exceptional and did a fantastic job. Food service was amazing. Our only complaints are: (1.)The ship is very noisy. (2.)The bar/lounge was so crowded for the lectures that is became hot and uncomfortable. We skipped some lectures for that reason. (3.)The dining room was also very crowded. (4.)Loading the zodiacs often took a long time, so we stood around wearing a lot of bulky & hot gear in very crowded spaces. These are small complaints. We loved the trip and had a wonderful time. We would do the trip again and would recommend Oceanwide to others. Thank you.
