Antarctica exceeded our expectations- everything about it was magical. We’d met people over the last few months who’ve been there 3-4 times, and we thought, “it’s Antarctica- once is enough”. But now we get it- an incredible place that needs to be protected. From the wildlife to the incredible scenery to the comfort and spirit of camaraderie on the ship and excursions to the incredible crew and expedition staff, I can’t think of anything that could have been improved. We will definitely return….after a trip to Svalbard with Oceanwide Expeditions. You have us hooked on cold weather!
