Antarctica cruise review: Surpassed my high expectations

Highlights: Photo Workshop, Mountaineering, Antarctic Camping, Kayaking, Basecamp, Antarctic Fur Seal, Adelie Penguin, Chinstrap Penguin, Crabeater Seal, Fin Whale, Gentoo Penguin, Humpback Whale, Killer Whale, Leopard Seal, Minke Whale, Weddell Seal, Giant Petrel, Antarctic Shag, Pintado Petrel, Cormorant

The trip really surpassed my already-high-expectations. The boat was lovely (who needs a 5* cruise ship??), all of the staff and guides were exceptional, and the food was delicious. I didn’t expect to have such good meals in such a remote place. All of the activities went ahead and there were lots of lectures/presentations to keep everyone entertained in the evenings. The boat was quite hot and stuffy on the first and last day into Ushuaia but a comfortable temperature the rest of the trip
