PLA29-24 Basecamp Expedition

by John Risickella

Departure in February 2024

This was an amazing expedition! The Antarctic is a special and unique area of the earth, for sure. The environment both sea and land was wonderful, and the Plancius crew and Oceanwide staff were experts at providing the guests the ultimate experience this fantastic place! The closeness of the wildlife was a wonder, and never failed to amaze - it was truly life changing! The crew and staff were incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in the ways of the sea and the magic of the Antarctic peninsula. The skill with which the crew and staff guided the guests through this thoroughly unique and magical place cannot be praised enough! This was an adventure that is almost beyond words to explain! My highest compliment is that this was my second expedition on the Plancius, and will not be my last! I look forward to my next adventure! Possibly on one of the Plancius expeditions in the northern hemisphere!Text
