GREAT TRIP
by Meredith Elgart
Departure in November 2016
Region: Antarctica
Destinations: Antarctic Peninsula
Ship: m/v Ortelius
Highlights: Antarctic Camping, Kayaking, Gentoo Penguin
'Want to go to Antarctica?" My friend said yes and then did all the research. He did a good job... Small ship so far fewer passengers than the bigger ships. Outings planned for twice a day (other ships it was once/day) and the outings were all landings when conditions permitted, not just Zodiac rides (which are great, but still!). And, we could sign up for among other things, kayaking, mountaineering, camping out!!! All that plus great food and an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and engaging staff. I can't recommend Oceanwide highly enough. They are GREAT.
