The Xperience was breathtaking, incredible, magnific. The penguin colonies visits, the navigation through Weddell Sea, the Emperor Penguin Xperience including helicopter, really unique. All the staff very proffessional, competent and kind. But, with the price of the Expedition, should you invoice 2 € for the seasickness pills? Best regards
