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.Text
