This was an amazing trip from start to finish. The team on board welcomed you like family. Everyone knew our names so quickly. The Leader Pippa used her experience to switch the trip around and by doing it in reverse we managed to chase the good weather. The crossing the circle was epic, the staff put on a great party for us, the ice bergs simply stunning, cruising close to wildlife in our zodiacs, walking to penguin colonies and seeing albatross was wonderful. The knowledge of the guides and the lectures we received was exceptional. The food amazing.
