Wonderful experience .. I wonder why I didn't do it before !!!! Expecially in nov-dec you can find many nesting species and chicks . Great treatment on the ship : you will learn so many things ...

Antarctica

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

The Arctic

Speziell der Tag im Packeis war ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis. Gesamte Mannschaft der Plancius und das Expeditionsteam haben dazu beigetragen, daß wir viel sehen und erleben, uns wohlfühlen und eine wunderbare Zeit genießen.
Ausgezeichnet
On the last day of the trip log it says: “Saying goodbye is never easy, but it often also means that you’ve had a fantastic time and that made it totally worth it.“ I am pretty sure I was the inspiration (or one of many) bawling my eyes out which made Guide Valeria sing “don’t cry for me Argentina”. Well dear staff and crew of Plancius, I am almost done planning my next trip to Antarctica (via Argentina) on Plancius in 2026 so I can’t promise I won’t cry again. This trip has been nothing but magical and I will treasure it forever. Thank you 🩵
The trip on Plancius far exceeded my expectations. Every effort was made to get ashore or see wildlife and to maximize time off the ship / encounter with nature. The guides were of an extremely high standard and were extremely enthusiastic. Keep doing what your doing Oceanwide.
We had a great trip which gave us all that we were hoping for. Incredible number of whales and pinguins and beautiful weather after a very stormy drake passage. Crew and guides were amazing with all the interesting lectures and wonderful food and service. Also the other guests on the boat were great. I truly recommend this trip.

Very unique trip to the Antarctic Peninsula and South Circle. The staff made the trip so special. Experienced expedition crew, good food and overall very happy with the trip.
Sono ritornata in Antartide dopo 6 anni..il mio paradiso personale a cui si accede dopo l' inferno del passaggio di Drake..sempre sulla Plancius perché e' la nave perfetta, piccola, organizzatissima e green..non pensavo che avrei uguagliato le emozioni di 6 anni fa..invece il viaggio e' stato ancora più fantastico e spettacolare..quante balene, quante orche, centinaia di pinguini, le foche, all'atmosfera e cormorani..non potevo chiedere di più.. e' stato indimenticabile! Grazie di cuore e sono cetta che tra qualche anno, non troppi, ci sara' pure la terza volta!!
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!

My main objective was to see antarctic wildlife. We had ample time to observe interactions between animals. Historical site visits were nice too!
