The trip of a lifetime!

by Neil Gibson

Departure in November 2023

Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Islands, Weddell Sea, Falkland Islands, South Georgia

Ship: m/v Plancius

Highlights: Antarctic Fur Seal, Adelie Penguin, Chinstrap Penguin, Southern Elephant Seal, Fin Whale, Gentoo Penguin, Humpback Whale, Killer Whale, King Penguin, Leopard Seal, Macaroni Penguin, Magellanic Penguin, Rockhopper Penguin, Wandering Albatross, Weddell Seal, Black-browed Albatross, Giant Petrel, Striated Caracara

We had an absolutely outstanding expedition to the Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica on the Plancius. The ship was perfect for this style of adventure. The crew were all outstanding, and the meals were spot-on day after day. The expedition team were excellent, superbly led by Ali. They genuinely cared about giving us every possible opportunity to experience everything that the area offered. My expectations were very high leading into this trip and to be honest my expectations were exceeded. The wildlife encounters were unbelievable, the scenery absolutely stunning, and the overall experience was unforgettable.
