The best trip of my life!

by John Zingrich

Departure in March 2023

Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Antarctic Circle

Ship: m/v Plancius

Thank you for the most wonderful trip of my life! My cabin was very comfortable and clean with ample space to store clothing and gear. All meals far exceeded expectations with plenty of choices and a wide variety of foods. I would add that the soups were delicious! The ships staff are the most friendly group of people ever before encountered. It would be unfair to name any particular individual because all interactions with every member included a warm smile and pleasant conversation. The staff consistently goes about their busy day with dedication and pride. The expedition staff was unparalleled. Each and every member brought a high level of expertise to lectures that were shared with passengers and presented with a personal flair in an interesting manner. Lectures held me rapt from beginning to end. Trips ashore were fascinating. My plan is to read about future Plancius expeditions and perhaps book an Arctic adventure.Text
