Fantastic Trip of a Lifetime

by Zhou Smith

Departure in December 2023

Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Antarctic Peninsula

Ship: m/v Ortelius

Highlights: Antarctic Camping, Kayaking, Basecamp, Antarctic Fur Seal, Adelie Penguin, Chinstrap Penguin, Southern Elephant Seal, Gentoo Penguin, Humpback Whale, Leopard Seal, Sperm Whale, Wandering Albatross, Weddell Seal, Antarctic Petrel

I had the absolute best time on this trip. I, not only met so many fantastic travelers, but the wildlife was amazing. There were plenty of activities on the ship during sailing when we had time to kill. Along with the water/land excursions when we got to the continent. I would highly recommend this trip and company for Antarctica travel. Juan, Maria, Zet, Chris and Captain Per were fantastic to be around- can’t wait to do another trip!
