Great time aboard Ortelius!

by Thomas Pekin

Departure in December 2024

Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Antarctic Peninsula, Falkland Islands, South Georgia

Ship: m/v Ortelius

Highlights: Antarctic Fur Seal, Adelie Penguin, Arctic Tern, Blue Whale, Chinstrap Penguin, Crabeater Seal, Southern Elephant Seal, Fin Whale, Gentoo Penguin, Exploring Navigation on Ortelius, Birding

This was the most incredible trip of my life - Antarctica and the surrounding waters cannot be summed up in words. I had just the best time, and I cannot sing more praises about the crew and staff of Ortelius. If you want to get off the boat, see animals, and appreciate the natural beauty of the area, this is the company for you. If you want a luxurious cruise (not to say the food and service wasn't great!), with a gym, or a pool, look elsewhere. I would come back in a heartbeat.Text
