Absolute beautiful expedition cruise! The staff went out of their way to give us a lot of landings and we only had beautiful ones. I will honestly never forget all of the beauty we have seen! The vibe on board was excellent with lovely guests and staff alike. The lectures were -for the most part- very interesting. Especially the ones from Tiffany, Chloé, Misha and Felicity always kept my attention. Food was amazing time after time and the lovely Carol always started my day with a smile in the breakfast room, after Michaels enthusiastic morning announcement of course! I want to especially mention Misha, since he really made my (and I think a lot more people!) trip so remarkable. His enthusiasm, knowledge, professionalism and friendliness absolutely made every visit and memory even more memorable. I had several zodiac cruises with him and they always turned out to be the best. A big thank you also to the behind the scenes staff. My room was always impeccably clean thanks to Victor, but also the friendly staff in the dining room. Truly, I can't think of anything that I disliked and I certainly will book another expedition with Oceanwide!
