I started this trip with no idea about what to expect as you never know 'til the end what the weather will allow you to do.
The forecast predicted a Drake's shake (waves up to 6 mt), a real adventurous start!
After that we got luckier and luckier everyday more: during our sail and also during our zodiac cruises we were surrounded by whales, orcas, seals literally everywhere.
It's something i will never forget and all the members of the crew were excited as well.
The whole crew was amazing, they took care of us even in "shaking" moments. The wildlife and the scenery is just breathtaking and unbelievable.
Also, it's amazing to see how much passionate they all are doing their job, Captain included.
You share so many emotions with the other passengers that you feel like part of a family.
This is my second cruise on the vessel Plancius. I love it because it has a good size with not too many passengers so every activity runs smoothly. High recommended!
