Holy Crap! Best Trip Ever!!!

by Shirley Sutton

Departure in February 2024

Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Antarctic Peninsula

Ship: m/v Plancius

Highlights: Basecamp, Antarctic Fur Seal, Adelie Penguin, Chinstrap Penguin, Crabeater Seal, Gentoo Penguin, Humpback Whale, Killer Whale, Leopard Seal, Weddell Seal, Cormorant, Discovery and Learning Workshops

The perfect ship (Plancius!) The perfect staff and crew! Service was excellent, the crew's commitment to safety measures cannot be over emphasized, commitment to keeping Antarctica pristine is beyond admirable. There several options for Antarctic cruises, but the Basecamp tour was perfection. This was no drive-by cruise! Opportunities twice a day for landings, Zodiac cruises, kayaking, snowshoeing, mountaineering and even overnight camping! Wildlife abounds! Humpback whales that visit the ship! Penguins diving off icebergs! Leopard seals yawing in your face! It is an understatement to say that this was the trip of a lifetime.
