Beyond my expectations!

by Alicia Taylor

Departure in December 2022

Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Antarctic Peninsula

Ship: m/v Hondius

Highlights: Snowshoeing, Adelie Penguin, Arctic Tern, Chinstrap Penguin, Crabeater Seal, Gentoo Penguin, Humpback Whale, Leopard Seal, Weddell Seal, Antarctic Shag, Pintado Petrel, Snowy Sheathbill

For two years I waited to take this trip and when I boarded the ship I couldn't believe the time had finally arrived. The 9 days aboard the M/V Hondius were the best of my life! The crew/staff were exceptional, the scenery was beyond words. I met so many wonderful people that I will consider friends for life. The overall trip was one that I will never forget.
