Ortellius Basecamp

by Lee Jeffrey

Departure in March 2019

Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Antarctic Peninsula

Ship: m/v Ortelius

The ship, staff, and food were exceptionally good. I did not actually comprehend what the Basecamp designation meant or entailed.The knowledgable and dedicated staff were able to involve the full complement of guests in the activities the desired despite the changing conditions weather, ice jams,etc that the environment brings. some how I always felt safe and comfortable.
