Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Islands, Weddell Sea

Ship: m/v Ortelius

Highlights: Helicopter Tours, Emperor Penguin, Adelie Penguin, Arctic Tern, Chinstrap Penguin, Southern Elephant Seal, Gentoo Penguin, Humpback Whale, Wandering Albatross, Weddell Seal, Black-browed Albatross

Not fond of ocean wave movement but by the third day I was doing much better. The sights were beyond spectacular…and being among Emperor penguins was magical. The weather was perfect, the staff and crew were exceptional, the food amazing and the total experience was beyond my expectations! Was thinking a “once and done” but now contemplating my next trip down again! Can’t recommend Oceanwide and the Ortelius enough! Thanks for the trip of a lifetime!!!!
