Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Falkland Islands, South Georgia

Ship: m/v Plancius

Highlights: Hiking, Birding

Die Reise startete super, da wir viel sagen auf den Falklands und in Südgeorgien. Aber dann kam der Hammer. Wir führen anstatt in die Antarktis, was natürlich der eigentliche Grund für die Reisebuchung war, zurück nach Ushuaia wegen Motorschaden. Der Clou an der Sache war, dass wir erfuhren, dass das Schiff bereits aus der Reperatur kam, die vorhergehende Reise bereits ausfiel und die Reise davor auch abgebrochen wurde. Na und nun ist das Schiff wieder kaputt, wie ich von Mitreisenden erfuhr, die erneut buchten, um den Verlust der ersten Reise zu minimieren. Mir tun alle Beteiligten leid, egal ob Passagiere oder Besatzungsmitglieder. Mein Fazit: Nie wieder. Mein Lebenstraum wurde zerstört

Comment from Oceanwide Expeditions

We apologise for the disruption caused to your planned voyage with us. During your voyage, m/v Plancius experienced a propulsion issue that prevented it from reaching full power. For safety reasons, we regretfully had to cancel the Antarctica portion of your voyage.

We understand how disappointing this situation was, and how it impacted the travel plans and polar dreams of many of our guests. We provided all affected guests with rebooking options, a future increased travel credit, or a partial refund of the paid amount to compensate for the missed portion of the trip.

We stress that the safety of our guests and staff is of utmost priority. All repairs before your departure were performed by industry technicians and subject to approval by our insurers. When it became apparent that action was required, we acted with the safety of those aboard m/v Plancius in mind.

We thank you for traveling with us, and regret the impact that this has had on your polar adventures.
