The expedition leader, Phillip, was really great, as were all the guides. My group kayaked every day with Alexis, who took us to wonderful places and was very knowledgeable. The boat accommodations, the food, the entire staff were wonderful.
The Arctic cruise exceeded all expectations. The ship, crew and guides were wonderful, and everyone worked hard to make sure we got to see as much wildlife as we could and kept everyone safe and comfortable. I would highly recommend this adventure.
Viel Eis, viele Tiere und ein engagiertes Expeditions-Team.
many thanks to all crew members for this wonderful experience
We had an amazing and unforgettable journey with highlights without any end. The experience in the pack ice will stay with us forever and seeing polar bears was a dream come true. The sky, the sea, the sound, the smell, the glaciers, the experience will stay with us always.
First class in every way!
Oceanwide bewerte ich mit ausgezeichnet. Diamir auf Grund falscher Versprechungen (Fokus Eisbären, Packeis... und Eisbären regelmäßige Sichtung und auch häufig sehr nahe Sichtungen) mit 3-4 Sternen). Leider gab es keinen Shuttlebus von Longyearbyen zum Schiff. Keiner konnte mir sagen wo das Schiff Plancius genau steht. Musste mit einem Anhalter mitfahren, da ich nach 40 Min. Fußmarsch immer noch nicht am Schiff war.
Das Essen, die Schiffscrew und das Programm von Oceanwide waren (trotz falschen Versprechungen von Diamir) super!!!! Besser geht es nicht. Habe noch nie so gut gegessen, die Mitarbeiter/-innen auf dem Schiff inkl. Reiseleitung sind super freundlich, kompetent und geben ihr Bestes. Leider waren es nur ca. 7-10(?) junge Gäste und kaum Fotografen. Aber dafür kann keiner was. Die Anzahl der Gäste ist perfekt. Die Ausflüge waren spitze! Die Ehrlichkeit von Oceanwide weiß ich zu schätzen (Pixelbär).
Diese Reise werde ich so schnell nicht vergessen.
Habe 11.511 Fotos, die ich noch selektieren muss. Bin interessiert mal wieder an so einer Reise teilzunehmen. Allerdings nicht jedes Jahr (mein geringes Budget :-( ).
Went with a group of 8 friends on the In Search of Polar Bears. Was a great experience. The staff and crew were outstanding. Highly recommend this company.
The scenery and wildlife in the Arctic are stunning but the experience is made that much better when in the company of the expedition staff on the Plancius. Every activity was well planned and safety was always a priority. The ship's accomodations were really nice and the hospitality staff were always there to help with whatever you needed. The kayaking add-on was well worth the price to experience the area's beauty from the water. Excellent trip! Thank you!
The ship had very nice accommodations and great staff were excellent. Hotel staff were eager to provide anything requested. The guides were well versed
Great trip again with Ocean Wide, Plancius very good ship, Cosy, not too large, very good crew. All as we hoped it to be. We will book
Un viaggio splendido, un mio sogno che si è realizzato.
Sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Reise. Tolles verantwortungsvolles, informiertes Team! Vielen Dank
I cannot fault the professionalism of the Plancius crew - the ship was terrific, the service five star, the staff were welcoming, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable - no question went unanswered and nothing was too much trouble.
The Expedition and Dive Teams were awesome. Our dive briefs were honest and thorough, and the diving did not disappoint. The dive team were highly experienced, safety conscious without being restrictive, charming, helpful and an all round top marks. We had some incredible encounters.
Despite some challenging seas and weather, we had the most incredible trip - made easier and much more enjoyable by the crew.
I cannot recommend this trip, boat or crew enough. It was absolutely a trip of a lifetime & I wanted to go straight back out and do it all over again. Another adventure is already in the planning. Go if you can.
Antarctica is the most gorgeous and pristine place I’ve ever seen. Taking the voyage on the Plancius, with the expert staff and warm crew, made the trip all the more memorable. I would absolutely recommend this trip to everyone.
