Antarctica cruise review: Best Trip Ever!!!

Highlights: Snowshoeing, Mountaineering, Antarctic Camping, Kayaking, Basecamp, Adelie Penguin, Chinstrap Penguin, Southern Elephant Seal, Gentoo Penguin, Humpback Whale, Killer Whale, Leopard Seal, Wandering Albatross, Weddell Seal, Cormorant, South Polar Skua, Wilson's Storm Petrel

I had been looking forward to this trip for years and was doubtful that there was any way it could meet my expectations; yet, somehow, it completely surpassed them! The Basecamp nature of the trip allowed for such variety and excitement and I couldn't have asked for more from the staff! The expedition staff, hotel staff, and ship staff were so kind, approachable, and knowledgeable. They took us to places I never could have imagined and made sure we were prepared, informed, and safe. Also, I was worried about the environmental impacts this trip would have. While I'm sure there certainly were some, their awareness and discussion of these impacts reassured me that I had picked the best company. I wouldn't hesitate to book this or another Oceanwide trip again!
